Can I microwave my ejuice to speed up steeping?

If I was to reposition the light or use a larger wattage bulb that would make it get warmer. As I said it was an unintentional discovery of another way to speed up the infusion. When I am not in hurry I actually do it to my DIY e-liquids.
I hear some of my friends use microwave but in "unfreeze" mode, five times for 2-3 sec and shacked between circles. If became too hot ....just wait a litle before repeat.

There are better, safer, more efficient ways to steep. These methods can also be used to defrost or warm. Read my blog on steeping.

That link sent me to a post "Lock out your kids" I didn't see anything about steeping there...?
I want to mention a way I speed steeping juice when I'm in a hurry.
Was discussed in another thread.
I have around an hour drive to work in the morning. I will put a fresh mix bottle on my defroster. Low fan and medium heat. Basically driving shakes it and the heat thins it. Lazy/cheap man's ultrasonic lol.
Just don't leave it on your dash as long term sun etc is an issue.

Great idea, thank you! I am also looking forward to summer and the free steeping my glove box will provide
I would actually be careful using the glove box because the temperature in the closed car in direct sunlight could possibly exceed 150°F.
Something wrong on your end, link goes where intended on my phone & laptop.
You do understand many e liquids including DIY don't need or improve with steeping.
Shake the bejubus out of them, let stand with bottle top off until bubbles dissipate, givem a try.
Odd it's working on my end and someone else just tried it in this thread and got to the steeping blog. Something must be wrong on your end.
Edit:
See you got it ironed out so disregard.
Being way too traditional I just plan a month in advance and mix up a new batch. Right now, I 'm vaping November and December's juices. Sometimes, the two month old batch seems better than the month old batch until the month old batch has time to mature a little more.
I have a January 20th batch of six 50ml glass bottles sitting and steeping at room temp as we speak. Those will be used starting around the end of February and on into March.

Sounds like you are great at planning! My first ever diy was the week before Xmas. They're ready now!
My first DIY was ready in 2 hours with heat. Although I didn't wait for it to come to room temperature! LOL

Seed steeping is a wonderful tool. Save 10% of your old mature juice and add your new juice to it. It will mature in 2 - 3 days. Procedure is in my blog.

I definitely plan on incorporating seed steeping in to my diy routine. It especially makes sense for the 3 (out of 15!) recipes that turned out decent
