Heat steeping

For what it's worth, as an old timer, I'm let my juice steep naturally.
I know a lot of people can't wait for their juice to develop, so there are a lot of shortcuts that are popular. But, I have never heard of a juice maker ever recommend using heat to steep.

Well i have nothing vapeable atm. So i need a quick solution after i get some vapeable liquid the rest can steep in my closet. Ive had 2 new bottles of 120ml steeping for about a week now thats no better than when i put it in there. 3 10ml vapewild and a 100ml im vaping now thats not so strong flavor i want to improve
It's been a while since I last tried them, but I found no amount of steeping helped.
Eventually, I saw where they were selling pre-steeped versions of their more popular juices. I'm pretty sure they weren't heating them; though, I might be wrong.

The 2 120ml are humble juice, the 100ml im vaping now is juishy ( im on a budget and chain vape)
Go to the store and buy VG and cut it down a little, if your juice taste bad from day one (unless it's a custard) I don't think speed steeping is magical, try leaving the tip off over night and maybe don't buy 300 mls from vapewild anymore
only 3 10mls from vapewild, you know the 2.99 each bottles? ive already let them breathe for a day and a half. its not bad stuff, i just want a stronger flavor and smoother hit.
This; and this might lead you to making your own juice, which will cost you pennies on the dollar in the long run. Don't be intimidated by what looks like a fancy chemist set up. I saw this video and started right away. Get yourself some flavors you might like and get started.
I use heat after I do a DIY mix all the time. I use hot Tap water below 150 degrees maximum! It speeds up the infusion process and also helps getting the air out of the e-Liquid faster by thinning out the liquid. Some flavors like deserts and some fruits do require time to infuse properly and completely. Only trial an error will determine what works for what flavors. Good Luck to you.
Personally, I've never heat steeped any eliquids I've made. None of them really even needed any type of steeping, as most people think of steeping (ie. put it in a dark, cool place for a few weeks; use heat to steep it, etc.). They're 98% shake & vape, because I follow Bill's Magic Vapor's theories about total flavoring % in my eliquids, how to make bases for various types of eliquids, combining flavoring types, etc.
The only exceptions to me vaping a mix immediately (the other 2% of eliquids I make)...are those that have flavorings in them that contain ethyl alcohol. I need to let the EA evaporate off...before I vape the eliquid, since it gives me a headache if I don't get rid of it. I just shake the heck out of the bottle to cause a bunch of little bubbles in it, and then leave the cap off it, several times a day, for 2-3 days. It's always "good to go" for me then.
I have heard though, from many DIYers who use tobacco flavorings in their recipes...that those do usually need some form of steeping. Since I don't use any tobacco flavorings at all though, that may very well be another reason mine are 98% "shake & vape".
Have made many recipes since starting DIY, and not a single one has been "flush worthy"! I do Bill's 100DT (100 drop test) for each new recipe I make, and tweak the small 3-5mL test batch until it exactly suits my own tastes. Then I make a larger batch based on any/all changes I made, and the notes I took on the changes, while doing the test. That way, I know before I even make the larger batch that it'll be exactly the way I want it to be! Works every single time.

Personally I think that trying new ideas or proven successful procedures is the best way to improve upon doing anything in life. Not being open to trying new things is just stagnating in my opinion.
I heat steeped 1 bottle and it turned into the harshest thing ive ever inhaled. Warm water soaking in the sink thins it out and helps it all form together and i prefer the warm water in sink. The coffee cup warmer method turned it dark brown and harsh.
Sounds like that coffee cup warmer got a lot warmer than the recommended temperature in my opinion.
