Sterilization in homemade E-Juice and equipment

[Isaiah Rodriguez]

I just find it funny how this shop in Souther Illinois Carbondale is trying to spread hate about homemade juice, when the real fight is against big tobacco bois

Lol but in all seriousness I think it is ridiculous that they are spreading hate and false facts about e juice. They stated something about how over time it could mess up your lungs or something with your heart. Which how can they say that if there are no studies on kitchen made juice?

From what I can see, that video was their last post and it was 4 years ago. Old news? Are they still in business? Ask them to SHOW their facilities in a video tour.

Didn't watch the video. But what you describe sounds like marketing.

That's ......ed. Basic food handling practices are all you need. It's just another dis-empowering message telling consumers citizens that they can't do it alone and need to pay professionals. Heard about the new rage in kitchenless condos where you're not allowed to cook on your own premises?

I just rinse my atomizer before I fill, remove the wick and dry burn my SS coil, then twist up a new wick, and refill. Ejuice is water soluble, so no soap needed.

I cook, I clean. I clean, I cook.

(Never died from it.)

A cigarette is regulated, certified and sanctioned fed guv toxicity.
I've created a "clean" room free of that madness.

End of story. Enjoy.

Good luck.

A kitchenless condo? What are they, hotel rooms? I hope they at least have a bathroom.

The bathrooms are in the clean rooms..

Carbondale is a college town with two exceptional shops and a rotating open today shut down tomorrow shops.

I fully agree with @Punk In Drublic about "You are only as clean as your dirtiest component!" And want to add that even though some juice is made in a clean room, as soon as you open it and introduce the air around you into the bottle. It now "contaminates" the bottle with whatever may be in the air around you. The juice is effectively no longer sterilized so, under normal circumstances, "sterile" juice will never make it to your tank/dripper.

I make all my own juice. I do so in my kitchen. If its clean enough for my food it's good enough for my juices.

My wife, being a never-smoker/vaper, won't let me mix juice in "her" kitchen.

The temperature of the aerosol is less than the temperature of your coil. You aren't boiling it. It is just an aerosol.

If it was as hot as your coil, you would burn your throat.

Yes, but the juice has to reach a very high temp (i forget - 275F?) to become aerosol. Of course, it's not that hot at your mouth or lungs, though.

My wife is a clean freak, carries sanitizer everywhere, etc. She gets sick all the time. I'm not a clean freak, and get sick once every 10-15 years. I know that's not science, but I've read plenty of info over the last few years about how our (in the US) penchant for cleanliness over the last few decades has created an environment so our bodies are never exposed to enough to allow our immune systems to work as designed.

BTW, our kitchen sinks harbor way more bacteria than our toilets. I don't over worry about this kind of stuff. Unless I'm brewing my beer- yeast is far more sensitive than I am.

I'm in the same boat except mine is extended to being anywhere in the house. That's why I have my man cave garage (cars sit outside). Everything gets wiped down with Clorox wipes before I start mixing and I wear gloves and take other precautions. All my main ingredients are USP certified with analyticals. All ingredients are kept either refrigerated or in the freezer until the night prior to mixing.

I agree. Also, consider our bodies typically have an estimated 39 trillion bacterial cells.. many of which are very beneficial and crucial to our health. Our lives are definitely awash in bacteria(the body has an estimated 30 trillion human cells).

Heres another interesting one about how our DNA is permeated with bits of ancient virus's.

I guess my wife may say the same thing, if I ever actually asked...

I make juice at night mostly, when everyone else is asleep and I can do it uninterrupted. So I'm not sure she has ever actually seen me making juice in the kitchen.

With my wife it's the smell... she has a hyper sensitive olfactory.

I find even the most hygienic of people rarely clean their doorknobs and toilet paper roll holders.

Filthy animals. I give my doorknobs, toilet roll holders, sink, and everything else a damn good scrub with the toilet brush.

Mine doesn’t mind, it’s much “cleaner “ than the home made fish food I made in the kitchen and infusoria cultures I kept on the windowsill

On a serious note, we had a good friend of the family who married a raving lunatic when it came to cleanliness. When you came into their house you entered through a mud room where you took off your shoes, everything was sterilized at least daily, etc. When they had children it got even worse. But... once those kids were old enough to mingle with the unwashed masses they caught every illness that passed within a mile of them, they were always sick as they had never built up any immunity to anything.

That still trips me up with some things. I am smell blind, and occasionally neglect to realize some stronger smelling things linger. Some times not being able to smell is a gift and other times it is a burden.
