Wow! I just picked up a "BIG HOSS OF A ULTRASONIC MONSTER". It is rated at 160 some watts and has heat. It was designed for cleaning diesel fuel injectors on big engines. If this bad boy won't steep'em nothing will.

Holy Cow! That Should Work!

Wow, are you planning on doing quart-sized batches of juice? That thing would be great for commercial production but might be a bit of overkill for personal DIY... ;-)

WoW a world supply steeper. Now we not only can feed the world but we can vape the world. Let us know how it works. You may want to think about starting a small business. Make your own juice for retail. Steep other folks juices for a modest price etc.....:)

turns out the one I got here: Household Digital Compact Lid Design Ultrasonic Sterilization Cleaner | eBay
and is slightly cheaper here:http://www.bgaparts.com/jp890-ultra...-ultrasonic-cleaning-machine-600ml_p2975.html
only has a 15 minute cycle as far as I can tell. the timer goes up to 900 and seems to be counting down in seconds, which by my math is 15 minutes, even though the manual and everything online says 30 minutes. Still, it's very cheap and seems to work. I'll test how steeped things taste in a few hours when I'm done running it.

It arrived yesterday. It is not that large in size. Fits very well on top of the workbench. Works great! I had some absinthe juice I have been fighting with to get it clear and it was crystal clear in about 1/2 hour. I'll keep you posted as I try other things with it.

Mixed 120ml of Wizard Labs 20.5mg 80/20 unflavored and vaped it - it's weird but very good!
I read through this thread a couple of times and it makes sense.
Drove down to HF and got a 3 minute cycle $30 UC
It hums and heats and I have to keep turning it back on.
I used a chunk of dog food under a rubber band to keep it on for a an hour.
I figure it's a POC so it'll burn out that way so now it's 3 minutes at a time.
I'll see how the juice turns out after a few hours.
I'm using all glass and it's as full as possible so I'm not expecting to get too relaxed tonight.
I'll hit it every 6 minutes or so following someone's suggestion here to use/rest/use...
The bigger HF unit looked a little more serious but this should be good until it burns out.

Keep calm and GUCE on :)

I've herd of others jamming the button to get longer running times but they give it a 10 minute rest every 30 minutes. They have reported no ill effects of the unit doing this.
