Got my 150 mL ( actually 160 after the free sample for $40 ) from Mt Bakers Vapors, not a plug for the company either. What is the best way to steep, or your way to steep? Does Silica Gel help speed the process, or does heating the liquid in warm liquid help as well. I now understand what I am looking for in a sample/bottle. If it tastes like plastic/perfume or a combo of both it probably needs to be steeped. I would post elsewhere, though I can't yet. Thank You.

I just started steeping myself as I'm now into diy.
I pop the cap, and tip off the bottle, put enough water in a small pot(just enough to cover the amount of juice in the bottle) boil it, then turn off the burner and place the bottle in the water.i let it sit for 10min or so, put the cap back on the bottle, and shake till my arm is numb. Take the cap off and set it back in the warm water till cool, then pop the cap back on and shake again.
I repeat this a few times, then put the bottle(tip or cap) somewhere safe and let it set over night. Then I cap it, and put it away for a few days.

I'm still new to this so take it with a grain of salt. But it definetley changes the flavor.

I also do the hot water in a zip lock bag....but i double bag mine.....2 times then i put them in my closet,shake the crap out of them every day a few times a day....sometimes i take the tip off and open it for up to two days,sometimes i dont.....Basicly ive come to figure out every one does this diffrent.....hell sometimes i just open mine(lid off) and let them sit on top of my router for a day...heats them up slowly but it works just the same i think
