So, I am new to DIY juice. So, it's easy to document stuff. juice is not anything like hardware. Hardware I can do a build a tell in 5 minutes if it works. juice takes time.
So, here is what I have learned. Let me know if I am wrong. Oil and water don't mix. PG and VG are like oil and water. I have found 70% VG is a nice vape for me.
Here are some pics of steeping. I got a crock pot from walmart and at warm temp it is about 140°F. I warm my nic and VG pre mix. All measure better and mix better when warmed.
Pre each pic I shook the heck out of the juice. During each it left it in the warm. On and off. I did not document it.
Recipe is Banana Cream TFA 8% - Nic 8, 70% VG. Not a hard recipe. Taste OK. Better than most bought juices! For time and taste 4/10 it was OK. 4/15 it was much better. Today 4/21 it is perfect. Like an ADV.

Well unlike oil and water VG and PG does mix. VG is thicker so flavor molecules move slower through it. The colder any liquid is the slower it moves. So heat is more effective when mixing. Heat, fluid movement and time is steeping. So you are correct in your method.... Good work.
