Crockpot steeping temperature

[Elvensilvan]

I read in older threads that the recommended steeping temperature is about 65 celcius (150 farenheit) because nicotine starts to degrade at higher temperature.

So my question is, can I steep at a higher temperature if there is no nicotine content? Or does it affect flavors as well? The reason I ask is the usb powered drink warmers are usually at about 85 degrees celcius (about 185 farenheit).

Also, there are several threads about the milk foamer thingie, does this work as well as heat steeping?

Argh!

Foamers adds air which oxidizes NIC. To much air introduced to quickly results in to much oxidation which results in a harsh peppery vape. Crock pots and UC's work well and the optimum temperature is 150F.

I warm water steeped some zero nic juice for a friend of mine. I have to say I threw caution to the wind as it was zero nic. It came out pretty good and cut the steep time to about two days from a week. I think w/o nic to contend with, you can pretty much have at it.

If there's no nicotine in your mix, you can heat to that temp, but a mini crockpot from a used goods store is a dandy investment. Mine set me back $2.50 and runs at 150degrees F all day long.

By the same token, without nicotine, there's nothing to degrade so froth to your heart's content.

Nicely said, No NIC=No oxidation.

You still get oxidation.. That is the PURPOSE of frothing. Just no oxidation of the nonexistant nic.
