Kind of new to this and bought some made to order juice from a local brick and mortar. How should I let it steep and how long?

I put mine in a dark place that stays around 75 degrees for 2 weeks. Not saying its right but that's what I do. There are folks out there using sonic jewelry cleaners to get the same job done in 2 days.
Warming up in the microwave for a few sec..
Leaving the bottle in the warm water cup. Shake.
Leaving the bottle open for a few hours to remove perfume smell.
Leaving them in the cabinet for a week. ETC........
What works for one juice may not work for others...YMMV.

I use a few methods depending on the taste, personally. If the juice tastes acidic or perfumey, I usually steep it in a warm bath ( about 100f ) for 20-30 minutes. This seems to solve the acidic or perfumey taste, as for the tobacco flavors I usually just let them steep for a week or two, depending on taste. Also, I would ask the people at the shop if they steep their juices, I know a lot of the local places around me steep their juice before they bottle it and sell it. Just my $.02

It depends on the juice. If they smell chemically or perfumey take off the cap and dripper and let sit for a day or two. Replace the dripper and cap, shake, and let sit in a dark area.
If they smell normal just shake well, put them in a dark semi-cool place, and let them sit.
Different juices require more or less time to mature. A general rule is fruits/candy take a few days or up to a week, tobaccos take 2-3 weeks to a couple months to mature fully.
There is no hard set rule and some will be good immediately, some might take longer.
If you want to be proper, fully extend your pinky finger at all times.

I remove the cap and the dripper and just let it sit for 24-48 hours, some juices you can see it change in color, some can't. I don't really do the put it in a dark dungeon like some do, just leave it on my dresser and it steeps just fine w/ daylight and what not lol.
Cool thanks for the advice. I bought four sample size bottles so I'll try some of these techniques and see what works for me.
Hey fellow Who Dat! Out of curiosity, was the local B&M NOLA Vapes? I want to check them out when I go to New Orleans for a couple of Saints games...They have a King Cake, Creme Brûlée and Mint Julep flavor I'd love to try! Yum, King Cake! We don't have that many B&Ms in Lafayette. Just one.
Steeping- I did a hot water steep and another involving a heating pad, it's in the tips and tricks forum. I'd post the link but not sure how. It's on the last page. It worked but I still gave them a few more days, one was ready right away, but it's a lighter colored juice. Happy Vaping! And Who Dat!

My husband steeps in an ultrasonic cleaner for about 4 cycles of 480 seconds on hot. Seems to do the trick.
It helps to put tape over the label so it doesn't get ruined.

your 20 cents? (goodhearted, playful teasing incoming) please tell me you dont have verizon math.. (Verizon Math Fail - YouTube)
I've been just popping the tips off and leaving them in the cabinet to steep.
A buddy is using the ultrasonic cleaner method.
I thought about this while watching a friend do this and came up with sandwich bags. Just stretch them to the bottle and rubberband the neck.

I've been quick steeping by putting the cans into hot water (ca. 70 celcius) for few hours.
Just buy a liter at a time and it will either steep itself or you will be hospitalized from nic OD

No haven't had a chance to try nola vapes yet. Its from smokecignals. Who dat
What works best for me is I leave it take off the cap and tip and leave it overnight in a 75 degree environment for 24 hours, then put the tip and cap back on and leave it in a cool dry dark place (drawer) for a week. Perfection.
Well if you do, please let me know how they are! I really want to try them out and would rather be able to go into the shop and try since I do get to that area often enough as it isn't too far. Happy Vaping! 
Enjoy your e juice!

I let my juice sit with the cap and dropper off if it has the perfume smell or taste. Otherwise ive done the hot water bath, and after let it sit. Personally i feel like juice makers should steep themselves before they sell it, but i do understand many make it fresh to order.
Just like juice steeps to perfection, in time it will over steep, imagine if they made it and no one bought it for a couple of months, then it would be a problem. Better yet if they made it and you had to wait for it to steep you would say "They take to long to ship" lol
