I'm not to sure if there would be a flavor impact in the long term from steeping so fast in the microwave so I would steep one batch via crock pot at 150F, steep one naturally by waiting and steep one in the microwave and do a comparison. It would be interesting to see if there is flavor loss or some other adverse reaction to the mix in the long term.

When I first got into DIY, things were Simple.

Mix
Sit n' Wait
vape

Then the "Steeping" Techniques became all the Rage. I tried Most of them. Most of them Seemed to Work for the Most Part.

But One Day I asked myself if Shaking a Bottle Every 4 Hours and Removing its Cap every 2 Hours made any Difference in Taste verses just Letting it Sit Undisturbed? It Didn't.

So then I tested Ultra-Sonic against Sitting. Same Results. No Dif. The Heat Bath. Same - Same. Rock Tumbler. No Difference. Everything seemed the Same. So My Conclusion was that "Steeping", for Me and My Mixes, Accelerate things but they Weren't Making thing any Better.

And since I Mix well in Advance of when I Need an e-liquid, I dropped all the "Steeping" Methods. Because they Took More Time than I was Willing to Spend on them.

So what I am Trying to say is if you haven't Tried what Danny Suggested, do some Side by Side taste testing, you Really Should. The Results may Surprise You.

Disclaimer: Of Course, with ALL DIY, Taste is Subjective. And YMMV.

I spoke with TPA and are happy to say there will be no diacetyl created in this process but what exactly happens they do not know.

Nice people

Yeah the effect is huge, I am vaping away at the nuked M type and its awesome, I am happy I finally tried "something" other than patient wait.
I will stick with the time waiting process but to try out new flavors that need steeping this method is awesome..

Danny what I am doing is using it as a seeder, trying your seeding method. My next microwave seeder batch will be with dbl RY4 woot This batch will sit and steep for a month and hopefully maybe a new found element to Mtype :laugh:

open top and glass only with ejuice not filled to the top would be my advice if someone wants to try this 10ml heats up at 10/20 secs perfectly then takes about an ~hour to cool down, amazing how long the e juice retains heat... Careful its hella hot at 10secs let it air cool if you try to cool the glass with water it possibly will explode.

Worth a try...

24 hour vaping report

1000% success it has developed a creamy note with the grahimish ginger cracker flavor it is supreme of all my long steeped M Types excepting for a 6 month steeper that was detuned per se' was not as sweet and was uber mellow, it was the best. So I know after a month steep this will possibly be there.

It took 5 hours after nuking to reach the grahamish ginger cracker taste, previous to 5 hours it was blandish and lightly flavored barely perceivable, then after 9 hours the flavor was popping, now after 24 hours its amazing. Strange how that works..

Exchaner I am waiting on a new ejuice shipment and will do a tutorial with them.
So by Sunday-Monday it should be up unless someone else does it before me.
It works so well I cannot believe it.
I do know a thing or two about the steeping its become a ritual with me
I messed up my RY4 rotation and vowed never ever again make that mistake
I developed the patience from many years of winemaking


I did another M type and figured a few things out.
10ml in a 20ml amber glass vial
10 sec blast 3 or 4 times
30 sec rest between each heat cycle
**viewing the liquid each blast
minimum of 3 heat cycles

**On first 10 sec nuke look into the nuked ejuice there will be separation of liquids pg/vg/flavor its very visible
then at 3rd or 4th nuke all of a sudden they come together and clear
at that time your done nuking
Rest it at least 5 hours
24hrs for best results
the color will be oxidized and flavors go boom lol..

BTW
The nic @5mg has not lost one step based on feeling, feels stronger rfol..
That also is a shocker I figured it would drop a bit but no seems/is stronger than the 6mg pina coloda I am vaping side by side with the Mtype
