Anyone have an ultrasonic cleaner I can borrow?! ;)

Sure. Just have all your juice delivered here... I'll make sure you get it ;)


But seriously folks... I do have one. works wonders on ceramics and other small parts. Haven't tried speeding up the steep with it yet.

I'd be interested in your results on that if you do try it canned.

Sucks about the mailman though. Sorry about that.

I may give it a go with part of what you just sent me... I'll need a control group though. I'll fill 2 5 mil bottles for each flavor... sonically smash one set and regular steep the others (daily shake in a dark cupboard) then, drip and see what happens.

Interesting... ./beardstroke

:D

Really all you would have to do (I think) is to blast one half and try the fresh flavor back-to-back with the US blasted version. If it feels different enough (but good), then you will have reached steep. Or, the other harder way would be to US one and then have another bottle steeped for a period of time (How much? don't know). Otherwise your US steeped version will continually steep along side the other.

I think I read you correctly with what you were going to do. If not, my bad.

You read it right :)

My ultrasonic cleaner has a 5 minute cycle. I should be able to test enough between blasting to see if the impact is noticeable.

We'll see what happens :)

I think, THINK, that works by oxidizing the juice from a constant flow of tiny bubbles, and oxidation is thought to be the main thing going on with steeping. The juice does darken during the ultra-sonic process, which is the result of oxidation. Someone theorized blowing air through the juice, like with an empty needle for a bit, does a similar thing.

I have heard, ahem, about someone using UV light for designated periods (per liquid) to steep.

Wonder what that does to the liquid. I don't think it would be oxidation, but really I know as little about oxidation as I do about why juices change with time.

Time.. my prefered steeping method of choice. Good old reliable, all-natural, time. Such as, this tastes good, time to vape it.

I don't know what it does, but seeing as how long-term storage should be in a cool, DARK, place, maybe light does something as well. Personally, time feels right. I don't bother with doing anything special anymore, just good ole time. I do open the bottles and shake them, but it's juice, man. What else ya' gonna do? Shake, shake, shake...

Me too, getting the same results without the extra steps.

However, I did open my contest samples for a few hours today, just in case that really does speed things along. Hadn't done that in a while. I did the same to my other orders, but I had to admit to myself, I just wanted to play with my juices.

I have a pretty good small industrial ultrasonic cleaner I use for my DIY stuff. I don't know why I've never tried it with purchased juice.

The thing that proved the effectiveness of ultrasonic cleaner to me was that my Tobacco Absolute mixes stay in solution seemingly permanently now. No more green ring...I thought that was impossible. It takes 2 to 4 hours for the complete treatment, and glass bottles are supposed to work faster than plastic.

There's a whole thread about ultrasonic cleaners and steeping here:

I glanced at that thread. Looks like heat is involved too, and molecular bonding and..... hmmmm where's my box of time at.

It seems to mix (bond is probably more accurate) incredibly well, but my DIY stuff still improves for a week or two, so it doesn't do everything. One of these days I'll pick up a magnetic mixer to see what controlled accelerated oxidation will do.

Hey Joe, I got my samples today. Thanks again for hookin' it up and having us all choose a name.

Anyway: I got 12mg, 30%VG. None of the juices have any smell that I can pick up. Although I'm sure the aroma as well as taste will evolve.

I've only dripped a few drop of "Your Name Vanilla" in a fesh Cisco 1.8 Ohm 510. You really nailed this out of the damn field. I think whatever you did for this juice is, no doubt in my mind that this is where NET is heading. And that's ....ing GOOD!

We have until June 30th, correct?

I received my samples yesterday, requested 6mg 100% VG. I did not smell anything either, was a little concerned I blew it with 100% vg, but I know these have to steep. Anyway I could not resist so I dripped some of the cherry into a basic 510 atty. Oh my! This is going to be some great stuff here! Steep away my precious little bottles! shake shake shake!

And finally Fire Cured. Oh. My. WOW!!!! This is a bold tobacco. Not so bold that it detracts from the complexity. It's the strongest
in the new flavors. You can really taste the toastiness and it is just freaking divine!

Now that I've dripped ~6 drops form each bottle on clean atties I instantly fell in lust. I'm going to put them away for a bit, sampling
every few days. I can't wait to see how this blooms. All 4 samples are fantastic and I'll be ordering them once available to the
public.

Good job, QnJ!! I don't know how you do it, but ya'll are great at what you do. Keep up the fantastic work!

I strongly suggest the people that managed to get some try it now before it really steeps. I think you' be very surprised at just how complex it is in such a short time. I can see these becoming staples in my juice cupboard.
