Steeping... Oops

[Dvx67]

I mixed up a few bottles of juice last night. Afterwards, I put them in a coffee cup half full with water and set it on a candle warmer. The candle warmer maintains about 125 degrees. I intended to leave the juice for an hour or so and then remove it from the warmer. But I forgot about it until I woke up this morning. So it was heated all night. Anyone ever done this and any reason it would be harmful to vape? I'm thinking it should be OK. I'm kinda curious how it is...

There is only one way to find out...

I wouldn't think it would harm you! Let us know how it turns out, huh?

Give it a good shaking and try it. My feeling is it should be OK. I've read post where people have left bottles in there car's glove box for days in the summer months and said it was actually fully steeped and tasted great so 8 or so hours on a candle warmer should'nt be a problem.

GOOD GOD MAN!!! That stuff will kill you!!!



no, it's fine, I leave one of my blends in a crockpot on 'warm' (130ish) for 36hours, then it goes on the magnetic stir plate for 24hours (better than 4 weeks aging in the bottle)...

May be a noob question, but why must we steep the juice that we make?
I always thought that you just add some VG/PG/Nicotine (if you prefer) and some flavoring.
Let it sit for a bit/mix and it's ready to go?

It depends on the ingredients but for most of my mixes it takes at least a few days before it begins to taste right and sometimes a few weeks.

I'm going to try these a little later today. They are pretty dark and they smell good.

What's this we stuff kemosabe?

Ya' mix it. Shake it. Vape it. If it's a new experiment and it's close then steep and see what changes. If it doesn't taste good then try a steep to see if it makes it better. If it's good, which most of my recipes are, just vape it and forget steeping.

I agree with Hoosier, most of my stuff tastes good on day one. Some of it tastes great on day one and FABULOUS on day 7. I don't heat, either, just time and inattention!

Things that I personally find MUST be waited on: tobacco flavors and creams. At least a week, maybe more.

You may find some tobaccos, vanillas and highly concentrated flavors need a steep- others like fruit are good to go off the bat

These are actually pretty good after the overnight bake. Might do this more often.

Think Chili. Have you ever made your own Chili? It's ALWAYS better after it sits a day or two and the flavors have a chance to blend.
Now I have a taste for Chili.

It's fine, I use an egg incubator set at 115 for 72 hours to steep my mixes, with an automatic egg turner in it, keeps the bottles slowly rocking form side to side, mixing gently as they steep - Chicken egg size cups for 30 mil and quail egg cups for 10 or 15 mil bottles.

Wouldn't suggest spending to 120 USD or so that incubator setup costs if you didn't want to hatch eggs in it too though - a bit much for a juice steeper LOL. (I have it for quial and chickens, which I raise and sell - just works great for juice too and, FYI it does not harm the juice or the eggs/chicks to run it for 5 days at 100 degrees with eggs in there with it.)

a comment on the "Steeping Debate" which raises its ugly head from time to time... Have you ever tried Boba's Bounty from Day 1 to Day 40? You would not recognize those two vapes as being from the same planet, let alone the same recipe.
I am a believer in steeping. Fruit flavors from a few days to a week... tobaccos from a few weeks to several months. That being said, to each his own!
