DIY tasting better after flying

[Joseph Swint]

I think I have found a great steeping method! I first noticed that my DIY juice tasted a lot better after a short flight to Boston a couple of months ago. At first, I thought it might have been just a coincidence. Since I had another trip to make this month, I decided to test it again by mixing up 700ml of three different recipes and packing them up in my checked luggage.

I tasted them both before and after the flight, and they definately taste a lot smoother and better mixed after flying in the planes luggage compartment.

Maybe I'll start a new line of ultra premium high altitude steeped eliquids

Must be from all the shaking/tossing they get, from the luggage handlers

next time I fly ... I might try mixing up a batch at 30,000 feet

The luggage hold isn't pressurized. I wonder if the change in air pressure has something to do with it? It also isn't heated, but I doubt freezing juice would help it steep.

Only thing I could think of is the xray radiation when they scan your baggage >.<

I don't think pressure alone would help break down the flavor molecules, the vibrations would help mix it though...

On full size jet airliners? Wrong.

Except for the tail empennage which can hang outside the pressure bulkheads, in essence the fuselage... generally, the rest is pressurized. Especially cargo holds abutting the interior cabin flooring. There may be limited unpressurized capacity lower down and aft of the rear pressure bulkhead though.

Heating and cooling as well. Individual compartment controlled.

That leaves "what pressure ?" It's held at around 8000ft max (ie. lowest pressure). I don't see that having an effect.

The power of suggestion is strong... fight it.

heated as well, most of them... people throw pets in there.

 

[Jim_ MDP]

Yeah, that's what the compartmentalized control is for. Animals kept warm, perishables kept cool.

Vibrations over time like running it through a mixer?

I can't see change in air pressure doing it. -Mags
