Steeping revisited once again.

[DistantDrumming]

Tobaccos need to steep, but does a slow cooker simulate time? I've read conflicting accounts and would like to know from those with first hand experience. Does several hours in a slow cooker at 150° equal a week or so of steeping with FA tobacco flavors? All those FA tobaccos I steeped for a week and haven't impressed me, I don't wanna give up on them. Basically I wanna experiment with them without it consuming months. For example...Desert Ship (FA): Can I find where I like it 1%,2%, 2.5%...4% within a weeks time with steeping in a slow cooker? Or is this just a pipe dream?

I haven't tried using a slow cooker but I do use an Ultrasonic Cleaner that heats to 80deg on 30min cycles and I run my batches though 4-8 cycles. It adds agitation to the heating so you get best of both worlds.
