So let me get this straight people...instead of hot baths..leaving the juice to sit for weeks with the cap opened and shaking it everyday..all I have to do is to get an empty syringe and blow bubbles in the juice with it for a couple of minutes...et voila!! I can go ahead and vape without waiting weeks on end.

If that is the case whever came up with this solution should have a statue built for him!! AND we should call this method after his name!

Topacka came up with the idea using a dropper. I tried with a syringe which makes it easier. Sally substituted for a straw for an even cheaper and readily available solution. Just try it and tell us know how it works for you.

Okay, first - Frothing is nothing new. There are threads hear covering such process and what it will/will not work well for.
Second, have you noticed - No long time DIYers have posted here?

Many have been mixing and steeping, testing various methods and combinations for quite some time.

One thing that is NOT a part of steeping is <OXIDATION> Oxidation is the process of degrading a substance. i.e. rust in metals, discoloration and loss if strength in Nicotine.

Cap off is used by some to remove overly perfumy smells or to vent off Alcohol Carriers. Even then this is a few hours, NOT Days or Weeks.

Please consider your information before posting.
Verify your findings.
Post only those findings and in Detail.
Leave out any assumptions of which you are uncertain.

You bet I will..I just got 100 ml of Boba's Bounty a couple of days ago and some juices from 5 pawns mixology line to start with. I'll work on a sample of these juices tonight and get back to you guys!

Good point..so what does frothing do and what doesn't it do?

Some good points here, and I'm glad that I wasn't the first to come up with this, would make me sad lol.

But you said it works for some juices and not others. Do you have any more information on which types of juice it works best for? Which types it doesn't work for?

We're here to learn. Yes I noticed no one with 1000+ posts chimed in and i was sort of worried about it. This place is amazingly huge and some information most old timers know are hard to find (or plain see) for the rest of us. Links would be greatly appreciated...

Even though we said "exothermic"?

Yea, and "chemical reaction". Beat that!

Well, I guess this is trodden ground. It did sound too good to be true. Apparently the aeration damages the nicotine, and goodness knows, I can't have damaged nicotine! I need my nicotine rocking and rolling, full of vim and vigor, piss and vinegar. You know...undamaged. I guess it's off to the search bar for "frothing." A link would have been nice, but what the heck, live and learn. I'm willing to bet it's a loooooooong time before I see "exothermic" in a thread again. I'm giving us all a gold star for vocabulary and a blue one for effort.

Well..our exothermic dream was good while it lasted. I just received my vape mail in Egypt with all the goodies from alien visions and 5 pawns and other stuff. But my hopes were shattered and I have to let Boba's Bounty steep for a couple of weeks before trying it again.

Nope , not yet, haven't had to time to research it. I was going by what crxess said in his post regarding oxidation, and assuming he knew what he was talking about.
Oxidized nicotine is fine as far as I know. It's what is happening when your juices darken over time.

I would dig some more specific information from him/her though, they just jumped in the thread told us that frothing isn't doing the things that I've experienced it doing and then left. My only recourse is to not believe them for lack of evidence to support their claims.

I'm Actually in the Final Stages of testing a technique that Steeps e-Liquids Before Any of the Ingredients are Mixed.

You mean, like an empty bottle? Are you steeping a little empty bottle or a big empty bottle? Or does it matter? Do you steep a small empty test bottle before you steep a big one?

Do you have a link to support that? I haven't noticed any difference in my juices.

I'd like to see links to any of the reported information. Even directions to a section would make my day. Can't say anything bad either... I actually need less vape when "oxidizing" my juice. Links please!
