I have a flavor of juice I want to steep and was wondering if leaving it capped in a cool dark place for a week or two will be enough to let the flavors shine a bit more. Do I need to shake it periodically?

Thanks for the advice!
Thats what I do.. I age my juice like a fine wine or spirit. Unless I want to use the juice NOW. Then I steep it.
Most people would call that ageing the juice. Steeping of usually is done with heat or mechanical means.
Timing can vary from a few day to a few months. just depends on the juice and desired result.
I too mix, shake the heck out of it or put on my stirrer, and leave it for a month or whatever..uusually I do try to remember to taste it each week to find the best time frame for aging if its a mix new to me. When ready, Shake lightly and vape away
Time and kept out of direct sunlight is important and the only real requirement to age and infuse e-Liquid but my current procedure is using an incandescent desk lamp as a heat source. With the heat at around 100°F in 48-72 hours I have speeded up the process significantly.
I also use a light bulb to warm juice for faster steep.... not a lamp though and direct light on the juice.. I use one of those wax melting pots for the scented wax... I replaced the wax bowl with a SS cup from a thermos fill with some water drop bottles in that a set it on top of the melter. Light bulb inside Heat the water to a bit over 110 degress. Juice gets to about 100 and no light reaches the juice which would degrade the nic.

Only UV Light will harm Nicotine and not light from an Incandescent bulb.
So does this mean I can purposely lower the nic level in a juice by leave it sitting out on the window sill for a few days? If so, would it have any negative impact on flavor?
No, it will just taste like shit.
