Is crock pot's 'low' setting too much for steeps?

(not really, I'd blame myself for not using keep warm)
Prolly ok. I put some juice in a coffee pot full of water and turned the unit warmer on, left it for 5 hours and all is well (and well-steeped).
I use 130-140F in a heated air device and 122-132 F in a heated water bath both work fine. Some swear that no heat should be used while others state 122F max. or whatever hot tap water happens to be.
Well, I def agree on the temps, Chas. My thinking was just that perhaps at the higher temps I had listed (180-200), there would be a significantly degratory effect on the e-juice components (VG / PG /Nic)
Anyone have any sources as to the degradation at a given temp?
Or do people just pull numbers out of thin air and call it good?
I have yet to see a reference in this conversation.
Considering the temp my coils get up to I'm less than concerned about any temp under boiling....

don't know but i would be worried about leeching if it was plastic bottles. even if glass, i would worry about degrading the nicotine. We know nicotine is light-sensitive and over time can lose its potency in bottles. why accelerate it. why does refrigeration prolong chemical activity
You're assuming it's infrared radiation in light causing the degradation. Could be ultraviolet destroying your nicotine. That's why I'd like to see some actual data and not just people saying things without any actual science to back it up.
An easy at home experiment to test if the heat is hurting your juice would be to make two identical small batches. Heat one and allow the other to age naturally. At the end compare any perceived loss in potency Pepsi challenge style with any vape friends you may have.

Even better. I probably would have thought of it if the nic test kits weren't out of stock every time I order :anger:
