Heat steeping

[Diver9543]

I tried the coffee warmer and didn't see any difference/improvement. The same when I tried an ultrasonic cleaner. The method I use now is using a small crock pot. I mix in a 200 ml Pyrex beaker then add hot tap water in the crock pot and let it steep for 18 - 24 hours. I also have a milk frother and I give the juice a good mixing with it every so often. Then I bottle it up and it sits on the shelf for 7 - 10 days. My method works for me. When I first mix my juice it is a clear liquid. When I remove it from the crock pot it is a nice golden color.

Just mixed up a 60ML and a 30ML bottle of e-liquid and like always I give them a bath in hot tap water at just over 140°F and I have liquids ready to vape in an hour or so. I use the Liquid Barn mixer so it does sort of aerate the mix but by heating it clears within minutes.

Two hours in a heated ultrasonic cleaner for two hours. The liquid darkens and flavor improves. Only used it on a couple of bottles so far, but I like the results.

I have been heat steeping for better part of 3 years. I started with just doing warm tap water baths in a spaghetti pot. I mix a lot at once as we go through a lot i usually have 6+ mason jars at a time. I have done crock pot heated water. I have moved on now i set my oven to warm which is 170 degrees, i do 15 minute intervals so as to not get too hot ideal temp is ~130 for doing this, for christmas im getting a Sous Vide! (i hope as that is one of the only things i asked my wife, i mean santa, for). I also shake them every 15 minutes so at the end of the warm cycle and end of the cool cycle, finally at the end i shake them one more time, let it settle then i let them breathe for about an hour too long and the VG absorbs too much humidity. This has been my perfected method after reading about how to improve flavors. Also find that 1% EM is more than enough for all these recipes that claim the need for more and end jst gunking up coils and needing to replace wick and burn off more frequently. I go easy 2 weeks without having to replace wick on my Griffin 25 running 2 3mm ID clapton coils. I love it all. Heat Steep is a definite thing people do and have been for quite some time. Do beware of overheating though as it will ruin ur whole batch
