@CES - explain again why it's hard to get those grants? :( maybe you're applying at the wrong source! :D

If you walk carrying an uncovered cup of coffee, it will probably spill.

To unravel the great mysteries of this phenomenon, the Pentagon gave $170,000 to researchers at the University of California, Santa Barbara. The grant was made through the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, whose mission is "to make pivotal investments in breakthrough technologies for national security."

In a resultant study entitled, "Walking with coffee: Why does it spill?" the scientists found that "in the walking with coffee problem the motions of the human body, while seemingly regular, are quite complex and are coupled to a coffee cup and liquid therein, which makes it difficult to unravel the precise reasons behind coffee spilling."

They ultimately determined differences like "common cup sizes, the coffee properties, and the biomechanics of walking [are] responsible for the spilling phenomenon." Bonnie Kristian

Does e-liquid "steep" if frozen?

Should "steep" come before freezing?

Is it OK to freeze pre-mixed (ie: flavoured) liquid?

Yes, it should. I'm not sure if the freezing point of e-liquid is the same as water, but freezing temps will absolutely increase "steep" time as all the molecules are slowed down.

I don't see a reason why it wouldn't be...hey @mikepetro can you answer this one?

    From everything I've read on ECF pre-mixed liquids should not be frozen, you can store in a refrigerator.

    I should post a pic of the fridge. If you can find 1 square inch of available space... :eek:

    I always ask here before doing a self-help ECF search. :)

    Thank you and @MadOzodi for input!!! :)

    and for the wrong subject....sigh


    Bear, I freeze unflavored only. All flavored liquids are stored in a cupboard. If you're storing flavored liquids in the fridge and refilling from the cold container, you run the risk of condensation in the bottle that you're taking in and out of cold storage.

    fly by... hope all y'all are having a good day :)

    Is everyone trying to dump their stock? I'm getting one sale email after another.

    About 75% of them say SALE but their not much of a sale,I think most of them are just trying any way they can to make money off of everyone's fear before the lock and chain go on the door.:2c:
