I got my order of custard #3 from ITCvapes a few days back, and about to get on cloud custard from VapeWild and I'm just wondering if (aside from breathing and streathing) there's a quicker way to get that good steep flavor available for my custards without the 3-4 week wait. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Is there any scientifically viable ways to quickly steep juice?

A little impatient are we????
I have read many threads regarding real warm hot water bathes but here is one that I find fascinating. Put the bottle (lid on tight) in a plastic ziplock bag run it through a dryer cycle full of clothes. I am going to try this because I think it would work. Just my 3¢. Do a search, you may find other suggestions. Good luck to you.

With my luck, all of my clothes would end up with juice all over them. Then again, I've smelled worse.
New marketing angle for ejuice companies, perhaps?
I just started using my DIY magnetic stirrer. It quickens the process. I just let my juice stir for about 30 minutes. It still takes a couple of days but no where near as long as it used to.
I tend to agree with this. I started using a milk frother to whip my juices up before bottling it.
It puts so much air into the juice it looks milky. I do that 3 times (wait for it to clear, about 15 minutes, then whip again) then bottle. It kills 2 birds because it let's it air out a little as well.
I've seen the color changes a lot quicker! I made up a batch of vanilla custard 4 days ago and it's already almost golden brown! It was clear when I bottled it.
I just shake the crap out of it take the lid off for a sec and then put it on a shelf. Rinse and repeat daily for a couple of weeks or as long as it takes.
Course, you have to ramp up and keep juice orders coming in even when you're not out of juice.
I don't want to rush it.

I really want to know how your whole dryer experience went!Well, I'm gonna try it. My juice happens to smell just like a fuzzy peach.
I have posted this numerous times and no one has responded to it yet.
Why all the HOT water steep methods if heat degrades the nic? Flavor also seems to me to be something that could be damaged by heat.
I have steeped several bottles now in around 150 deg water for probably 4-5 hrs then did the daily shake, breath thing. In at least ITCV SL v2, it Still Took 2-3 weeks for it to get really vapable, so it sure didn't speed That up any for me.
I get the heat it to thin to shake/mix better part but More if the juice is really thick. Most of mine isn't.
From now on, I'm going to seriously lay Off the heat. A Between warm and hot water batch for maybe just 5-10 minutes, then shake.
It seems more logical to me that heat, even say 150ish F (where it's too hot for fingers for long) is More likely to mess up flavor and nic than it is to help them. IMO, the risk isn't worth the maybe benefit.
One of the major juice mixers even says on their site no method really beats just shaking and waiting.
I like the idea of the milk frothers and ultrasonic cleaners if the sonicator water doesn't get too hot.
Mixing good. Heat bad. (I think)

I'm buying a mixing table to use for diy. It's a magnetic plate that spins a little magnet inside a beaker. My theory is that if incorporation of ingredients is the goal, how better than place the juice in something that would continuously stir it? As far as adding air, air degrades juice and evaporation intensifies flavor. Bubbles are just a byproduct of shaking it. How do the big manufacturers do it? Do they just let the mix sit or is there a process? I think I'll start a thread. lol
Warm up the juice slightly and use one of those milk frothers or something similar.
4 different lines of juices and not one word on their site about which is which.
Not a word anywhere on the site I could find about your Vitamix steeping. Not one word on Any steeping that I could find.
Not one word on their PG/VG mix.
Sorry, I don't have time for stupidity like that.

Actually Phil Brusardo interviewed Jeremy from Good Life Vapor. In it they walk through their mixing room in which he details everything.
As far as their site goes, they do need to disclose pg vg content. So yeah, that is pretty stupid.
A really great guy named Dannyv45 is the ECF diy guru and he shared his link with me and I pass it to you.

You can easily make your own magnetic stirrer. Just get a computer fan or something with a motor, glue a couple of strong magnets on it, and put a platform on it. Buy the magnetic stirring rods of ebay for cheap (I wouldn't bother making my own), and there you go.
Just search for "diy magnetic stirrer" and you'll find dozens of step-by-steps.
