So I've seen a lot of people mention steeping their juices after they get them, but I haven't found much info on what exactly that entails. Does one have to do anything special to steep their juices or just let them sit in the jar for x weeks? I'm rather confused.

This just means to set them aside a bit so they can reach their full flavor. I put mine in a cabinet, tho the ones from V V are good immediately.
Hi Nardonius. I get asked about steeping quite frequently, so I wrote a little blog post on the topic. You can find it here:Do Virgin Vapor Organic E-liquids Need Steeping? | Virgin Vapor | Electronic Cigarette Organic e-Liquid | Electronic Cigarettes

Do Virgin Vapor Organic E-liquids Need Steeping?
This is a question I am asked quite often. Steeping involves letting an e-liquid age to allow the flavors to mix, blend, ripen and mature, much like a fine wine gets better with time. Steeping time can last anywhere from a day to three or more weeks for maximum flavor richness.
Steeping will not magically transform a flavor that you just don't care for, but it will enrich and deepen one that you love or improve a flavor from good to great. The balance of flavors in an e-liquid can also change over time, making one taste come to the front while another becomes more delicate. Steeping generally makes a flavor richer, deeper, more luscious. The difference can be subtle, but worth it! If you have a flavor that you love in a larger bottle size, you may notice that it seems like it just keeps getting better over time. This is the magic of steeping!
A few steeping tips: in my experience, selecting a blend that contains PG can lessen the need for steeping because propylene glycol is a better flavor carrier than VG. 100% VG e-liquids will benefit more from a couple extra days to steep. Also, if you get your e-liquid with the "extra flavor" option, the added flavor will come through more quickly lessening the need for steeping in either a PG or VG base.
To steep or not to steep is really a personal choice. Most of my flavors taste good right out of the box. If you like the way a flavor tastes, go ahead and use it! But if you can give it a little time, it might just get even better!
Happy vaping!
Hope this helps!

My new juices should arrive today. I've had recent respiratory problems, so PG is very hard on my lungs and bronchial tubes. I hope the juices taste good right away, but regardless, they're going to get vaped immediately.
