I've never closed the UC lid when steeping. Not important to the process. Now I couldn't close the UC lid if I wanted to. I've begun using Insanely Large 400ml glass bottles. After steeping I decant into 100ml bottles for intermediate storage and fill up the 10-15ml needle nose bottles for easy tank filling. I make a huge batch of DK tobacco, American tobacco, and 555 that never lasts as long as I think it will. And still my wheezy 8 minute long timer UC refuses to die. The moment it does I'm off to get a 30 minute timer UC for speed-steeping bliss.

It's all good! I'm addicted more to Vaping than than I ever was to smoking. No stinky clothes anymore. It's simply because it's always a learning experience. I've always loved to absorb info, and this is a hobby that hopefully, will NEVER become boring. Even when, or IF, we vapers are forced underground. ecf is as good as any book! Thank you all for your thoughts and experience.
I saw a video of a guy using a vibrating sander (circular) and said it worked great. I'm a retired constructionite myself, and that motor gonna burn up long before a decent US would! He was cleaning a carburetor I think. Just a thought for anyone to try. Hope your garage is in the country, or insulated, lol
I see Danny has taken you under his wing. That's a good thing. Ditto! Caps on please as per the GodFather of Speed Steeping.
Guaranteed on the bolded. What's also great is you found us early in your journey and that is a huge plus. Good luck and happy speed steeping.
Hi guys I was wondering if anyone has tried to clean and reuse the new Aspire Nautilus coils with cotton in a uc cleaner and if so how did they taste and vape?
I've dry burned then cleaned my kanger and kayfuns for about 3 minutes and they came out fine but that was silica wick. You may need to adjust the time because cotton seems to shread in a UC. Dry burning might be nessessary and that won't work with cotton wicking. You will likely need to remove the wick and replace it with new wick. If you don't need to dry burn you should be fine. If you find yourself going through attys to quickly you may want to reduce your sweeter vapes or switch to RBA's

Hello and thank you so much Bob for teaching us about this. I just bought a 6L ultrasonic and am steeping 600ml of juice. I cant wait to try it but my question is how hot is too hot? When should I stop and let it cool down? I have a digital thermometer so I can tell where it is at.
Danny, what do you think about this one.
Not wild about the steel basket or tank shape. I find a plastic basket much quieter. I also prefer the square tank over the rectangle tank. Square tanks have better radio wave disbursement. Other then that it looks good.
I use this

2.2 hours and it is getting there. Maybe the 85% vg will need more than normal in the UC.
4.5 hours, 85% vg tastes like 3 weeks steeping. Amazing! Thank you for all the great advice!!!
I just dug my parents' old kitchen thermometers out of a box in my basement.
One is an older Taylor model with no adjustment.
The other is a nice adjustable Cuisinart from 1983 with directions and a case.
They both read about 125F at my UC's typical running temp.
It doesn't get very much hotter than when I checked it.
The water comes out of the tap at 150 and that's too hot to keep my finger in.
It gets hurty in the UC but not too hot to keep my finger in.
That leads me to deduce that if the meter's accurate it's always been <150F
I'll test boiling temp later today on them both and adjust the Cuisinart if necessary.

I tried a couple juices in glass 30 ml bottles with a UC @ 150 degree for three 30 min cycles with an 8 min rest between each cycle.
The juice had a strange smell afterwards almost like it was burnt.
One 30ml bottle only had 15 ml of juice or half full and it has the strongest smell.
I cant figure why I got these results compared to others success story's?
The 15 ml sample is a flavor I've been using for 2 years only difference is a higher VG then I normally use.
Left the caps off the bottles over night and now 3 days later it still has the same strange smell.
The UC has dual transducers and heat control I even checked the water temp (distilled water) with a thermometer to confirm the reading on the UC, 150 was the max.

I'm not trying to be a wise guy but did you smell the bottles before putting your juice in?
A friend called me to tell me the latest bottle of Blueberry I gave him tasted "off".
Not bad just off.
He's been vaping my blueberry juice for over a year so I didn't doubt him but I couldn't figure it out.
I made some fresh for him and by the time he picked it up I had remembered.
I sometimes use my blueberry bottle for MBV Blue Moo also.
There were a couple of leftover ml in the bottle when I made his blueberry.
I had made both recently but thought regular blueberry was the latest.
Guess not.
