Everyone has different ideas and different rituals they go through.
I usually vape my e-liquid right away. If it tastes a little blah or a little perfumy, I put it in the drawer (cool, dark place) for a couple weeks. If it improves, vape away!
I don't vape tobacco flavors so I've found about two weeks and they're probably as good as they're going to get.
Edit: I steep with caps on. When I make my own and use alcohol based flavorings, I'll leave the cap off for a bit for the alcohol to dissipate.

I dont steep. If it comes in the mail, I want to taste it right off. If it is less than delicious it gets set aside. I will try again at a later date. I did never have anything that tasted better after hanging out in the back of the cupbord for a while. IMO.

I made a strawberry and it was really perfumy tasting, it has gotten better with a bit of age. I think that if anyone gets a bad juice that they don't like, don't flush it, hide it in a cupboard for a couple of weeks, if it's still not any good to you, PIF! Someone may actually love it.
Like Caridwen said...
I rarely pay attention to steeping... sometimes I prefer liquids unsteeped because the flavor is less intense...
There are a few liquids out there that change dramatically with steeping... one of the ones that comes to mind first is Backwoods Brew's Casablanca... it goes from spicy... almost bitter to sweet and smooth within three weeks...
and there are handful of other liquids... you'll gain awareness as you vape longer.
A lot of our vendors are smaller operations and it doesn't make sense for them to have tons of liquid sitting on a shelf ready to ship - the overhead is expensive... people want different ratios... juice can get old etc... so... most make your juice when you order and most juices need a few days to a few weeks to come together...
There are always exceptions... and anomalies... its never straight forward and easy to figure out -

There are those of us who believe in steeping. I had juices that went from meh to wow with a few weeks of steeping.
Steeping is especially important for NETs (naturally extracted tobaccos) and other juices made with alcohol. Caps and drippers off for 24 - 48 hours to allow the alcohol to evaporate.
