Clothes dryer to mix and heat steep?

[Wraith504]

Has anyone ever thought about stuffing freshly mixed bottles of DIY into a sock or something and putting them in the dryer on a delicate cycle and a lower heat setting? Right now I typically do a few hot baths and shake like crazy, But this would be a little more automated? Tell me what you think please.

Low heat would be pointless and high heat would probably melt the bottle.

Just boil the sob in hot water or use a crock pot and be done with it.

A mini paint can mixer would b cool

I don't see anything good coming out of that scenario. Especially if you aren't prepared to buy a new dryer. Or sleep on the couch, if you're married. In fact, both if you're married.
I have used my coffee maker once or twice when I used to mix NETs. Just put enough water in for half of a pot, leave out the whole "coffee" part and brew. I suppose it's worthwhile to mention I used glass bottles. I would imagine plastic would be OK.... Probably just bob around in the water but, hey. Seemed to work OK and the wife thought I was crazy but I didn't ruin any of her appliances lol.
If you're single then go for it. Just report back.

ForPro Expert Nail Gel & Lacquer Shaker
This could be what you need. I have used it and it saves a sore wrist from shaking.
As luck would have it, For Pro is a division of the company I work for. I got to test the beta lol

LoL, I dont think I am going to chance it!! I guess it depends on the internal temperature of that drum if it hovered in the high 100s I would be ok, because my kcup brews at 190ish degrees and the plastic bottles dont melt. I typically put them in a stainless bowl and fill with water to about an 1/8th to a 1/4 below the fluid. when cool shake my .... off then repeat. I was looking to combine the mixing with the heat.

Pretty cool but i would have to get a bigger strap to accomodate bottles larger than 15ml LOL.

30ml plastic will fit, but that's the limit. The strap is rubber to hold the bottle securely and it's quite stretchy.
Small scale. I see what you mean.

I see where you're going there. Quite clever.
It is your calling to invent the mini tabletop dryer for socks and e-liquid. It's genius.

I picture this setup looking like something from Dr. Seuss. We demand a full video tutorial.

I'm thinking of combining three tasks at once, Mix the juice by whirling in my salad spinner, then slip the bottle into the upper exhaust pipe of my bike and ride it to complete my errands then tape it to my washing machine while I wash a load of throw rugs. For a grand finale I guess I could hang the bottle around my neck while I'm taking a hot shower. by that time if it hasn't steeped and mixed enough it will just have to sit alone in the closet and vegetate!

 

[sandersj80]

Ive always heard to leave it in a hot car for a couple days to speed up the steeping process. However, make sure you keep it in a glove box or center console.

Of all of the creative steeping/ageing/mixing processes I have heard, the bra method is my preferred way.

But, since I do not wear a bra - I'm a guy - then maybe this will work: Robart Paint Polish Shaker Battery Powered 410 | eBay

Seriously, I am a CP and UC guy.

(Inside my pickup truck hubcaps and a bumpy gravel road is probably second best to the bra.)

Funny you mention that, but I thought air that exact thing last week while doing laundry.

I was thinking about attaching a bottle of juice to my dog's tail. If I can do it somehow that it does not bother her, then I can take the dog for a walk and shake my juice at the same time.

You sound like a wise man. My husband would ask before he did anything out of the ordinary with one of *my* appliances, just as I would ask before doing anything to *his* lawnmower or power tools.
