Probably not the best way but its the only option I have available atm that isn't a hassle. I've done it for about a year with success. Normally I make 30ml bottles in the plastic bottles. I make sure the lid is tight and drop 1-3 bottles into a sock. Tie a knot in the sock all the way down where its tight. This keeps the lids from unscrewing and coming off. Throw into dryer with dry towels or clothes. After 60 min steep is finished. Depending on how much it needs to be steeped I do may 1-4 cycles. So far I have done this close to 50 times with no leakage or incident. For extra precaution you could put bottles in a ziplock then drop into sock. I haven't done that or felt the need to. This is of course until I can get a ultrasonic cleaner.

I agree with dannyv45. Very unusual, but necessity IS the mother of invention lol. I've been using a massager just to mix them well. Doesn't work to steep them as fast/well as a UC, but I have noticed I get "steep changes" much quicker when I vibrate them a few times before leaving them alone to steep. Whatever works for ya!
What milligram nicotine are you mixing? Because after that length of time exposed to that temperature, I'm wondering how low it's dropped?
I may actually try this. But instead throw in with a bunch of already dry towels on the no heat setting.
Sounds good as long as the bottles can handle the heat- probably running a low heat tumble.
I place mine on a stereo or cable box that is heated. Leave them on there and shake them when I walk by.

Seems like it would work well, but for the amount it probably ends up costing you to run a dryer an hour at a time repeatedly, you could probably just buy an ultrasonic cleaner.
If its just about mixing (I don't doubt it) an old small rock tumbler sounds like it could be re-purposed. Cheap to buy, cheap to run.
Or just put the socks in bags and put them in with laundry you have to dry anyway.
That's creativity!
I also went lower cost. I use 30ml or 50ml beaker (depending on batch size) and battery-powered milk frother with good effect. After 2-4 minutes I'm confident there's no unmixed liquid. Pour to glass bottles and set on top of A/V amplifier for warm steeping or just vape away.

I use my heating pad to hot/warm steep my juice. I put my newly purchased juice bottles in a small container in case of any inadvertent leaks and put the container loaded with my juices in my folded over heating pad. If I want a fast steep I set my heating pad on high for about ten minutes - medium fast 15 minutes - slow steep maybe 20 minutes. I have done it often enough to know the times especially when using plastic bottles because I think that heating plastic to very high temps will lead to some bad stuff leeching from the plastic into the juice. Sometimes during the steep I will remove the bottles and give them a good shake. Often after a steep I will remove the bottles and take off the lids and let them open to air for a few hours and shake and resteep them. Less muss and fuss than using water that may soak off the labels and safer than using a dryer that may damage the bottles and cause them to leak. But I like the shaking idea by using a dryer.

There you go a heating pad will work. You could then go to one of those seedy motels that have the coin operated vibrating beds. I think I'll open up one of those places. We can call it a "steep and sleep" motel Thank god were not talking about seed steeping here. That would be just a little to perverted sounding a conversation.

"Steep and sleep", just too funny.... :LOL: Good, very good.
I feel like I'm the only one who just puts his juice in a drawer for a week and waits it out.
"drawers", I'm not going there
Defination
1. drawers
The accepted pronounciation of "drawers", which refers to a males underwear or boxers.

LOL our dryer sucked. We would have to of run it a few times to get clothes dry. We just replaced it today. I've been mixing 1.6mg.
A woman has it made when it comes to steeping. They just need to put it between there breast. It keeps it at the right temperature, It gets shook when walking around, It's always at the ready when needed and it doesn't cost anything. The only downside is having to tell everyone to keep there hands off it
