Speed steeping?

[justice92786]

Anyone know of any methods that speed up the steeping process?

This might be a good place to start.

I cant find it at the moment but there is a post or blog about this. the idea is you put your bottle in a hot water bath a few times. havent tried it myself yet so cant comment if it works or not.

Shake and place bottle under hot tap water for 45 mins.
Shake and place closed in dark cupboard.
In the am shake, open bottle and place back in cupboard.
Next am shake and place back in cupboard open.
Next am shake and vape.
Heat, air and light are the enemies of juice but can be used to our advantage in regards to steeping.

I personally do all of the above but never apply heat. Heat degrades the nicotine.

Patience, is the best method of steeping.

Actually awhile ago I took 2 samples from the exact same mixture in to the Lab. While at the Lab I ran one bottle under hot tap water for 45 minutes and allowed it to cool down. The lab then tested both bottles and found the nicotine loss in the hot tap water bottle was 3.3%.

So if I were to do this, my 18mg would now be 17.406mg. Does it matter the size of bottle used or is that a fairly constant depletion? I think I could deal with 3.3% nic loss as long as it actually sped up the steeping process. About how many days does this hot water process equate to?

I used 40 ml glass bottles. It prolly equates to about 1 week...although not perfect it is a vast improvement. Realize also there would be liquid evaporation while the bottle is open so maybe really not 3.3% after all.

By light, do you mean sunlight, or just ambient light in the room? I keep my juice in a kitchen cupboard that has a glass front, but the room is not over-bright, and the cupboard is not in direct sunlight (or even in-direct, for that matter).
