With all the talk about steeping and the stories I have read about ppl finding a juice that was 3, 4 months even up to a year old, what is the purpose of vendors advertising fresh, made to order juice? From what I have seen so many have to let juices sit for at least a couple days before they are vapeable. Then u see these stories I just wrote about ppl loving their juices after they have sat for a week or more. I mean I understand the point of knowing when your juice is made, but why are vendors sending product that's not ready to vape? Would there be anyone interested in a juice that simply has a "born on date" that was say a month old? I would buy it, heck I might even pay more for a juice that is older, with the flavors "married" and ready to vape. Am I the only one? Even with my limited experience I can tell when a juice will get better with age and when it's just crap, so don't vendors know what they make well enough to know which ones to ship and what ones to sit on for awhile? Something like " your juice was made fresh on such and such date, but we didn't feel it was quite up to par with the quality we want for our customers, so this one has sat for 2 weeks to make sure u get the best vape, fresh isnt always best" if I got a note like that I would feel like they really cared about what they were sending, not that they threw it together and shipped it to make a buck. Plus, i am sure u could always request fresh, cause thats how they do it now. Am I nuts here, or does anyone else feel the same?

My main all day vape is nhalers juice. It comes in one strength, all pg I assume and it doesn't have to steep. If you don't want a bunch of options his juice is great.
I just think that's the nature of juice. Even when you DIY you'll see that juice that sits a few days or so tastes better. I've vaped juice as soon as I've gotten it and it's been good. True, it gets better if it steeps. Good juice can get great. I've never had a terrible juice turn good.

To answer some of your questions, swedishfish is right. A vendor sells fresh juice b/c they are hand crafted and have better quality control. It also allows customers the option to tweak the juice when the vendor is mixing it. About the birthday question, people do want to know the date it was mixed b/c that particular flavor my become better or worse with age.
I am going through this situation now. I just received an order of juice and I think it is too fresh. It's the same exact juice I've been vaping for over a month but the color, taste and consistency are all slightly different, and not in a good way. I'm hoping if I let it sit for a week or 2, it will turn out like the juice I already have.
I suppose you could make an intelligent argument for both sides of that coin, and I believe many already have ... If I were going to purchase from a vendor, I would be ok with both freshly made or aged juice, so long as the vendor advised me of which I was getting at the time of purchase.
If the juice is fresh, and I receive it and don't quite like it, I know to wait at least a week before rendering my final judgement on it's tastiness. Likewise if I know that a juice has already steeped and I don't like it upon receipt, then I should take into the lab for possible improvements or throw it straight away to the garbage if it's something really obscene.

The whole thing is a big puzzle for me.
Sometimes I use tanks, other times cartos. I can take the exact same juice and put it in both devices and get a dramatically different taste. Most often, the tank works well right away but the carto does better if it sits overnight. My hunch is that the carto needs a little time for the liquid to become evenly absorbed throughout. Then it matches the tank more closely.
Here's where it gets weird. If I'm going back and forth from watermelon to peach for a few days the above description holds true for both flavors. Probably because they're both in the same genre of flavors. But as soon as I switch over to something completely different, like a coffee flavor, then the equation goes right out the window.
So my poor little brain freezes up and can't process all that information. It's yelling at me, "Why, why do you try all these different flavors? Can't there be just one universal flavor, something like that universal bra they sell on TV?"

Trust me, those universal bras aren't all they're cracked up to be.
I get the same thing with fruit flavors. I think they're a little more delicate- the flavorings and do change. The only flavor that never changes regardless of what device I use is nhalers juice. Always the same. Could be because it's PG although it doesn't seem like it because it's a pretty thick consistency for all PG.
TIME!
Just because a juice is old doesn't mean it's been steeped properly. I'd rather have a bottle of fresh juice that I can steep using my own techniques than having a bottle of old juice, not knowing how it was treated before being bottled and sent to me.
Also, if you think about it, juice that is mixed when ordered has less risk of being contaminated. If I ordered a bottle of juice and it came from a huge jar of the stuff, I don't know what I'm getting. I don't know how many times it's been opened and fished around in before I bought juice from it.
I guess someone could make up a large batch and then split it up into dozens and dozens of smaller bottles, but how many people have the room for all that?
