Steeping ideas

[joshwilliam]

I am new to the forum but not to vaping. I've been doing the DIY thing for about a year now and love it.
There is one thing I can't stand, steeping my juice. I am an impatient person in general and when I come up with a great idea for a new juice I want to try it when its mixed lol. So my question is has anyone used an actual homogenizer with our mixes? I have access to one at work but need to wait until the new unit comes in. I'm interested to hear of any stories of this. We should be able to actually mix a well blended juice in minutes.

We've something in common. I too cannot stand steeping my juice as a requirement to enjoy it. I've a much simpler solution to your steeping problem, don't.

Very true lol
Problem is some flavors taste like trash at first, but can be great given a little time.

Heh, I'm glad you took the humor as it was meant

I suppose given your original post, I was under the impression that you feared to try out a freshly made bottle without steeping, without ever trying it fresh before.

Anyone have any thoughts on using a homogenizer on DIY mixes? I'm wondering if I'm wasting my time

Josh, I dont use any "homogenizer" to let my juices steep. I simply make far too many bottles that can be vaped at one time. The next week, have yourself another mixing spree. Now vape the week 1 juices as you wait for the week 2 juices to steep. Continue this for a few months and you eventually have some juices on a 3-4 week steep rotation.

Some people use heat, some people give them baths. Some shake shake shake them to death. Some put them in jewelery cleaners/paint shakers/ Some even put them in the dryer in a protective bottle.

I have found there is no magic bullet to let some juices steep. Just time and patience. You can do eeet!

good advice..ima try the rotation one, but i suspect that will cost a ton of money to get going lol

Can anyone explain what chemical process is going on with steeping? I've been looking around and see lots of opinions and results of steeping, but the results can be self fulfilling, but no evidence of any actual change, chemical, molecular or atomic level, actually occurring. Parallels involving liquor don't really work because of changes caused by bacterial an known chemical actions. The same is true of foods, reheating removes liquids which concentrates flavors. I'm not doubting any opinions or results, I'm just looking for solid, repeatable, provable evidence that steeping actually causes some change.
