Don't know about the paint mixer/hairdryer thing. But where in a Renaissance Fair would you plug that stuff in anyway?
I have heard of power steeping by means of a microwave oven. Could work; haven't tried it.
Steep???

Whatever you wish to call it or IF you like to believe it's "in your head" I can assure you I have had juices that were NOT good, change color AND flavor within a period of time.(e.g. become great even) It's simple don't bother IF you're "so sure" that SO many of us are "so wrong" only you stand to lose. the more complex a flavor is the more it benefits IMO. A great example is Copper Creek's House Blend- mixed when ordered and pretty darn good when you get it .BUT 3-4 weeks later WOW........YMMV
On another note, do not leave the lid off "for weeks" at a time you WILL lose much nicotine doing it and most juices do not require "steeping " uncapped anyway (the exception in my experience is "perfume" taste and even then a couple hours then aging with lid on usually is enough) also it is important to still shake while aging on a regular basis (daily )

From Tasty vapors site: Welcome to Tasty Vapor
Why Do The People On Your ECF Forum Suggest I Let My Liquids Sit For A Week Before I Use Them?
Tasty Vapor mixes every single liquid fresh, from scratch. So, unlike the stuff you may get from another vendor which has likely had time to sit on a shelf for a while, ours hasn't had any time for the flavors to "steep". Some flavors are great and ready to go and get even better, there are flavors, more particularly any "creamy" flavor, may take a good week to steep for you to taste the full depth of the liquid.

Can't remember where I read it, but the change in color is something also known in the industry as tanning and is something that can occur with even plain nic juice (IIRC).
I think that this occurred mostly when nicotine solutions were exposed to light however.

On another note... don't plenty of juices contain some amount of alcohol? Might the alcohol escaping into the air have anything to do with this? I dunno...thinking out loud and it's rather late.
I think that has a lot to do with it. Burning alcohol fumes are unpleasant to inhale. Ever had a fresh juice take your breath away first couple vapes? Ever smelled alcohol fumes from a Bunsen burner? It's not something you would want to vape or even inhale except off of a snifter of brandy perhaps. Another reason why they burn the alcohol off of food that has alcohol added to it during cooking. They want the flavor of the wine/liqueur, without the fumes.
Another thought is what e-liquid may go thru during transport. How many times has it been hot and cold in 48 or more hours. This alone could cause instabilities that need to settle out at a constant temperature for a spell. I can't imagine subjecting beer or wine to such extremes and still having it taste right fresh off the truck.
Do e-liquids contain preservatives or other stabilizers? I know some flavor concentrates have a gum acacia base instead of alcohol found in typical flavor extracts and are made to be heat stable, but I don't know what effect alcohol would have on it after the fact. Typically, at least with organics, top flavor producers typically avoid alcohol as a solvent with their extracts designated at least for higher heat applications such as baking perhaps. I think vaping, at least at the point of contact with the coil, qualifies as a high heat application. I am willing to bet that the evaporation ( by letting it "steep") of any added alcohol, helps to return these flavors to be able to withstand the higher temperatures associated with vaporization.
