crock pot question

[paine1031]

Hey all
Tomorrow I want to try the crock pots seep. I have a question though. I read that you use warm setting for two hours, than shake then another two hours. Do I do this with carp on or off, also enough water to cover the whole bottle or just half the bottle?
Thanks

If possible, check the temperature of the water a few times to keep it at or below 150 deg F. Some have reported their CPs stay around that on the low setting with the CP cover ajar, but that could vary based on the model of CP.

Keep a thermometer close by it is easy to keep it at 150 or a little lower

Why not to exceed 150 degrees? While vaping we heat our juices to much higher temperature...

I think the train of thought is a long heat over 150 breaks down the nicotine.

Any temperature rise will speed up nicotine oxidation. I still do not understand why 150 and not 130 or 170.

Yea, it is kinda long, but it is well worth reading - in my opinion.

So the 150 degrees is just to reduce nic loss? So if I am making a juice with no nic I shoudnt have to worry about 150? Am I reading this correct?
