How long does the steeping process take? I got some juices that were ordered 8 days ago some taste better now than when I first got them but some of the others still taste bad. Does it need more time or just chalk it up as flavors I don't like?

Could be either. We can't tell because it's your taste buds. Length of time depends on the flavors too.
However, you can try capping them tightly and warming them in a mug of warm water.... shake every 15 min or so. Supposedly speeds the process.

Thanks. I'm sure I'm trying to rush some of it. When I get new flavors I tend to want to try them all really fast.
Oh wow, I didn't know about "steeping" - I just assumed flavor would degrade with time from the point of mixture. I was happy with 10 out of 11 of the flavors I just received from awesomevapors last week, I'm definitely going to give that 11th a few extra tries just to make sure 
Basically, if I do not like it out of the mailbox, I am probably not going to like it ever. Steeping usually makes them better or cause some more flavors to come out but it shouldn't change it drastically. That is just my opinion though.
I DIY and always let my juices steep. I do the hot water bath technique 1st just to drip test and then let it set for at least 2 weeks. Amazing how the taste changes. Strong flavors mellow out and weeker flavors will come to the forefront in a mix. I have an orange flavored juice that tastes just like a baby asprin when 1st mixed(yuck) and then tastes like a Bahama Mama 2 weeks later(yummm). Just my opinion but if you don't like it after 2-3 weeks either give it away, try adding another flavor to it or just chuck it.
Most of my juices have changed quite a bit over the course of 2 weeks to 1 month. Some of the halo juices have changed completely. I have some from madvapes (topvapor) that I hated at first, but now are some of my favorites. I think in some cases, maybe my sense of taste/smell changed. Some of the others just lost the perfume and chemical smells.
I just tried that 11 of 11 that's been sitting about a week... it's a little better now - it was supposed to be Cream, but tasted horrible to me when I first got it - now it sort of has a sweet, yet slightly tart kettle-corn taste. Maybe my taste buds are a little messed up, lol, but it still tastes nothing like cream to me...
Seems like all the flavors I have that need more steeping time all have that same weird taste to them. I've noticed it has went away on some but a few of the others still have it which leads me to believe that they need more time. I just got a whole round of juices in from Halo, Gourmet Vapor, Joogler Juice, Rockstar vapor and freedomsmokeusa. These are all my first orders of e juices. I'm thinking about doing some type of a review after I've given them all a fair try.
n00b question here: does "steeping" apply only to juices, or does it apply to pre-filled cartomizers as well?
My guess is that cartomizers spend a week or more in transport from the manufacturer, plus shipping time from the vendor, so they don't need this. (But I could be wrong -- that's the privilege of being a n00b ).

Just pulled out a sample FSUSA CocoaChoas 18 mg that I didn't care for a month ago. Guess what? Day-um, I gotta get some more!
I've noticed that since I've switched from analogs all of the juices I have are slowly tasting different. But I think that may have to do with not smoking.
Yes, I will definitely agree with this statement. My sense of smell and taste seemed to get a little better for a little bit and then sort of stabilized and stuff just smells/tastes a little different instead of stronger. Especially vaping. At first, it seemed they all had the same weird underlying taste - maybe tasting the PG and I eventually got sensitized to it and eventually the flavors come out more?
Some flavors can be vaped almost immediately. I think creamy flavors and tobaccos need about a week or so. Just my
