Once I have mixed my e juice how long should I let it steep for is there a set period in general or does it depend on your pg/vg mix or the flavour you use ???

Mostly on the flavor, tobacco needs 3 to 4 weeks at least, candy & fruit etc much less but a week also.
Oh so it depends on the flavour you use cool good to no best leaving all over a week just to be save and get the best flavour
Yes, and giving it a daily air and shake helps too. I use a yoghurt maker to speed up te steeping, 8 hours in an opened jar into the yoghurt machine cuts steeping time by 1 to 2 weeks for tobaccos.
test regulary , keep notes
i would say star testing right after your mixing
not everithing needs to steep and it will teach you how tastes evolve

+1 all of the above.
Also, it can depend on taste.
For instance. Some paople say Muffin Man man needs to steep for a couple weeks before they can vape it. I can vape it the day I get it and I dont notice any change in it if it sits for a couple of weeks.

True as well, but can develop into too much flavor in time.
I make juice ahead of time. I have my favorite DIY mixes and when one gets below 30ml, I make another 100ml. Because I vape multiple mixes at one time, that last 30ml still lasts 2-4 weeks.
It is just a no brainer and I have the supplies to make stuff. It just takes all the thought out of the picture.

+1. Times vary, depending on what flavor, how much, and the base mix. The best way is to periodically test and make notes. I don't bother, myself. As said, I mix in large batches, and I usually keep 2 x 120ml bottles of each in rotation. When I empty one, I make another. By the time I empty the secind, the fresh batch is ready.
Pretty much the same here. I make 250ml batches, and will usually make a new batch when I'm down to 50ml or so in the old one. Since I switch between 2-3 flavors a day that usually gives me 2-3 weeks of steeping before I run out of the old. However, with a few of my mixes I will make a new batch when I've got about 100ml left. My vanilla custard mix really needs about a month before the flavor is where I want it.
And as others have said it really all depends on the flavor. Sweets and bakery flavors tend to take 2-4 weeks to fully steep, many fruits are fine after just 1 week, and some flavors like the menthol my wife vapes require no steeping time at all as long as it's well mixed. As a general rule, the more perfume or chemical smelling the flavor the longer it will need to steep before it tastes right.
I make up several different flavoured e liquids at once, 40ml each, which last for months. A few weeks before it all runs out i'll make up a few more. So all my e liquids sit around for weeks in any case. So it isn't a case of waiting, i'll just start using a new batch when the last lot runs out.
So steeping isn't really an issue or something i focus on at all.
