So.... I saw a video of a guy steeping with hot water. Would this also work for leaving my juice in my console of my car while I'm at work on a hot day?

I think you would be much better off heating a 1/2 cup water in the microwave for 30 min and letting the bottle sit there til it cools.
Ahmmm.........120-150 degrees MAX
Boiling water is to Hot.
Car in summer with windows up, is to hot.
Some good and trustworthy information in the DIY section of the forums.

As far as I know, any "heat" method of trying to fast-track steep is going to degrade your nicotine. Heat thins liquids, or spreads apart molecules, allowing for things to mix easier; but yeah, I heard it through the grapevine that nicotine doesn't bold well in heat at all.
So while subjecting e-liquid to heat makes logical sense to help mix and combine ingredients up more thoroughly, unless your vaping 0mg liquid, I wouldn't recommend it.

The nicotine is fine up to a certain temperature. I don't immediately recall what temperature that is. You'll have to peruse these forums. Especially over in the DIY forum. I know there's several posts there in steeping.
Why leave it in a car when there are quicker methods anyways? Also, if you are going the heat steeping route, then use glass bottles and not plastic. Heated plastic isn't safe.

I leave a couple of bottles of juice in the car all the time and they steep great in the sun. Go for it.
+1 on the plastic.
Heating plastic above a certain temperature can result in leaching of substances into your juice. They even caution women from drinking water out of plastic bottles that sit in the car.

Steeping gives the flavors in the juice time to mix. Warming it up speeds up the process by making the juice less viscous.
Personally, i just throw it in my pocket and let my body heat warm it up and the natural motion of moving around mix it up.

Buried over in the DIY forums is a thread where someone steeped e-liquids at 150 F for 4 hours and it pretty much completed the steeping...also Nic concentration was unaffected.
Mid summer with the windows rolled up? probably not a good idea...early summer and not in direct sun? ..probably just fine.

Thanks for the info everyone. As far as nicotine goes I could care less. I vape 6mg with a dripper and I like no more since I hate throat hit.
