Steeping in hot car

[UNDIPUTED81]

0% nic, florida type heat ?

Anyone try steeping in car? If so results? Opinions?

I got some really good smelling juice that tastes a bit strange... Hoping steeping will help

Give it a try... some juice responds to heat others just time. In others words there's no one way to steep juice that applies to all juices.

With thousands of different juice makers and the variability of flavoring agents and additives being used... it's impossible to say this or that works.

Yeah i got two bottles in ther eright now, really hoping this juice tastes better after a while ... Smells so damn good.. But has a strange taste

Be careful. Most juices do NOT respond well to UV light. Make sure to avoid direct sunlight.

Crockpot at 150 degrees for 4 hours is probably more reliable. It might get hot enough in the car to cause the nic to degrade!

Ok so after a full day experiment yesterday...

On a 10ml 50vg /50pg 0% nic - fresh bottle of banana split from mbv & oblivion ( fruit mix) from jeffco vapes - straight from the mail-

for 8hrs - 90 degree florida heat in tinted car away from sun. and shaken hard after..

Resulted in:

1) color change- went from clear to caramel color
2) viscosity change- thick to watery ( although this was temporary & thickened significantly later)
3) taste change- both juices benefited significantly from this - flavors were mixed much better and was equal to 2 weeks steeping.


All in all this method is an easy quick way to steep your juice.. Approved!!

ZERO nic...a whole different mixture! (I don't even think it counts as 'steeping' without the nic - the whole point is that the nic oxidizes!)

I would not do this with plastic bottles.

Steeping hot might evaporate some aromas you want to keep in there.

Thick dark cup upside down with my bottle into it and placed infront my window were the sun is shining, but when it gonna be too warm, I just place it into a closet.

Littlebit warm will speed up mature/steeping.

Hmmm
I've never heard about the nicotine oxidation theory of steeping, but it seems if his juice did improve he's just come up with some evidence that there is something else going on.
And here's a chart of car temps to compare to crock pot temps, for the record cuisinart crockpot says in manual High = 212 F, Low = 200 F, Simmer = 185 F, Keep Warm = 165 F.

Interesting, I'm thinking about moving to DIY and live in AZ. I actually thought about steeping in the trunk of my car in glass bottles. Probably be to hot, maybe under the seats in the covered parking?

Got a bottle in the center console of my Tahoe. Been there about 2 weeks niw. Was crystal clear when I bought it. Now it's turned a nice dark amber color. Haven't tried any yet but it turns colors in the tank and tastes the same. Just gonna check back after I give it a shot!

sent from my damned S4!

Crockpot on low with the lid cracked stays around 150 on two of mine!

yep i have used glove box steeping in summer time and it works great, but only in glass bottles.
had a plastic one actually explode on me as the heat cause the ejuice to expand on most flavors
