How long uncapped? Hour or two?Was just odd since all other 5 flavors from the vendor were just fine besides one.
Naturally extracted tobaccos.
Yes, but generally speaking, by the time those juices get to your mailbox, they are ready to vape. I actually prefer some juices when they are very young, others taste better after a week or two. Other are just lovely at every stage--just different nuances come to the front.
Taste is subjective.
I'd let them sit overnight and then take a whiff. It should smell better by then. A day tops. Give it shake once in a while.
It just may also just be a bad juice. I've had those, too. No amount of airing out or steeping can save them.
Ok thank you ill give it a try sucks because the counterpart to the juice is awesome and so are all the others.Ill let it sit tonight and give her a go tom. Used it fresh out of the mail and Instantly dumped my tank lol.I'd let them sit overnight and then take a whiff. It should smell better by then. A day tops. Give it shake once in a while.

I've been vaping about 10 months now and have ordered lots of juice from several online stores and B & M, too. I know steeping helps some flavors. Someone else said sweet, dessert flavors and I agree. I just fill my Protank with a tad of juice when it arrives and if it's good then don't need to steep-if it's not tasting right steeping really does work.

I dont have to steep my juices cuz there isnt anything solid in the juice to remove... I age my juice
steeping is the soaking of a solid in a fluid to enhance the fluid with the taste of the solid
for example Tea... once the tea has steeped you remove the tea solids from the water
Wine on the other hand is aged ( like our juices) since there is no solids to be removed from the wine or juice
and dont smoke your juice vape it!!

Rather than leaving them uncapped, I just "breathe" them once a day or so. Give it a shake, then squeeze the air out of the bottle, let fresh air in, repeat a couple of times. After doing this for a couple of days the perfume smell should be gone. Note that this "airing out" is a little different than "steeping"; with the airing you're just trying to get some of the more volatile stuff out of the juice; with steeping you are letting the juice components get friendly with each other.
As others have said, some juices NEED steeping and/or airing, some don't, and some are good at the start but get much better over time. Recently I started going through my batch of "rejects" (juice I ordered, but were mostly weak and flavorless) and some of them have gotten much better. Others, not so.
It's a diffusion thing, if you really want to be exact. It's all about diffusing flavor molecules in the PG/VG base...
But steeping is a term that has been accepted by the vaping community, like vaping, e-cigarettes and analogs. So steeping it is.

There are quite a few juices that definitely need to be 'steeped' - Boba's Bounty and Gorilla Juice, and (I find) many from AIV. Just the same as many DIY juices - these juices are made fresh and often need time to fully develop the flavors. I make a DIY RY4 and it needs weeks to fully develop - then it is absolutely delicious - same process with many juices you buy.
just curious...what brand of flavor do you make your RY4 from? in case you are secretive i'll tell you mine first LOL!
my base is TFA asian 70% and TFA RYtype 30%. then of course you get into those "ancient chinese secrets"
always looking to improve/discover a new taste.
I never faced this problem with my liquids and never had any sort of stepping to do after receiving the liquid and I put it right away in device and start vaping.
there is no such thing as steeping.steeping is emersion of a substance in fluid to infuse elements
of the substance in to the water.
there is no aging as there are no organic processes as in wine or spirits.
if your juice is not good when you get it that means it wasn't mixed,agitated,or shaken enough to
properly blend the ingreidients.
do you notice allmost all the steeping advice you get here requires you to shake it up
at least daily.
living in minnesota where dramatic changes in weather are common you will find that
changes in humidity,temperature,and barometric pressure will affect the taste too.
just shake the snot out of it and let it settle for a while until you get the flavor you like.

Does this steeping/ageing/settling process affect the nicotine levels?
Will nicotine evaporate or get a more acrid taste?

Check out the YouTube vid from RIP Trippers. Good info especially if u new to vaping like me.
Nicotine will evaporate, but it takes months according to one test I saw. Even stored open on a sunny windowsill, it was perfectly fine for months as far as nicotine levels go.
Nicotine does oxidize (which is what causes a slightly yellow or orange tone to nicotine solutions). However, at the levels we have in our liquids, not much gets exposed to oxygen at any one instant. Oxidization of a 2.4% solution (24 mg/ml) is slow and doesn't cause an extremely noticeable flavor or color change at any great rate of speed.
If you DIY, don't leave a 100 mg/ml base solution open to air for too long or it'll turn some really strange colors and may pick up a less than pleasant flavor overtone over time.
Okay, just watched his take on steeping. Here is the link for anyone. Vaping E-Cigs Steeping Your Ejuice - YouTube
He say's if the cap is off too long the nicotine will diminish.
I was getting a headache watching it though. Probably just me this morning.
