So I'm in my second week of vaping and still looking for the right ejuice. When was someone gonna tell me that these juices need to steep for like two weeks? Outta the box some were downright nasty. Now a week later they're much better. Some were good right outta the box. So how do you know which ejuices need to steep and which are rtv - ready to vape?

Not all juices need to steep. Most folks agree to taste the juice and if you like it, continue to vape it. If not, put it away for a little while and taste it again. After you browse the forums, you will pretty much learn from other vapers what juices benefit from steeping and which are tasty right away.
Too long steeping can also hurt the juice. I have for example bought a BWB juice casablanca that was made in January of 2011 and it tastes horrible now. When its fresh or 2-4 weeks old the juice is amazing.
Thanks for the replies folks! I'm still trying to find a juice I love. My next purchase will probably be bwb malty toffee. I also liked the sample juices from mad vapes but they're only 6mg. KBV wasn't bad either but I didn't love pineapple shake and it still needs to steep.
You will love BWB Malty Toffee. Though it tastes wonderful right away, I find, for me, that this juice benefits from steeping for at least two to four weeks to bring out more flavor - not to get rid of the nastiness. I vaped my first bottle right away and before i was finished, ordered a second to steep.
It seems tobacco flavors need to steep more than others. I have had some fairly nasty fruit flavors improve after steeping (if you smell or taste chemical it either needs to steep, or it just plain sucks).
I think a lot of the vendors pride themselves on making up your order fresh and on demand. Rather than some that have hundreds of pre-made bottles waiting for people to order them. It's one thing to get a juice that was bottled weeks ago, but to me, it's a rip-off if it was bottled months prior to my order.
Is it a ripoff if everything that went into making your juice has been sitting there for months?
I think the magic actually happens when all of the different ingredients come together.
I let my flavours (tobacco flavours) steep for a week or so, more than that is silly. Quite often, though, I just let them steep overnight and they taste perfectly right. That's for DIY, of course. In fact, I suspect you don't even really have to let them steep although I agree there may be some change in flavour if you do.
I, for one, as a newbie, did not believe the steeping "hype"...until I tried Malty Toffee. Straight out of the mailbox? P-TOOEY! 2 weeks later? AWESOME SAUCE.
I guess maybe for some flavours it depends on the steeping much more than for others...
