That's one of the functions of steeping - to reduce any weird tastes in the juice from nicotine. There really shouldn't be a taste, but it does happen. I make my own juice and depending on the source of the nicotine some adds no flavor, some reacts with the ingredients (most common way you end up tasting it) and sometimes it tastes a little peppery. In the last 2 scenarios you'd want to steep it. Either with hot water baths (the fast way) or by just giving everything time to meld and lose the nicotine taste. The best way is time - hot baths can fail, but they can't hurt to try. The higher the nic level, tobacco flavor - the more steeping you'll need. Higher end juices use better nicotine and other ingredients (which is usually why they cost more) but they can still need steeping so don't automatically assume it's juice quality - although if you took a poll among people who started with a vapor company like V4L you'll hear a lot of people say the juice was horrible (not my opinion, just things i've heard!) and at some points not even vapeable

PS - you can't steep cartomizers so if you're buying pre-filled - what you have is what you get
