Not professional, but I have nearly a liter of various NET extraction that I am trying to give away. I'll send you an invite to a Conversation that I started about a month ago.

Typically tobacco e liquids that need to be aged 6-8 weeks or more the Old Skol ways (depending on the extract)... usually only need 6-8 hours in a UC with a 24-48 hour rest afterwards.
Paths cross... My very first vaping gear was several 76mm and 102mm mech Halo G6 batteries with a large supply of mini tanks for them (already knew I'd hate cartos). And Halo Tribeca was the first joose I ever vaped.
For me it was their Turkish Tobacco. Ordered one of Halo's ego kits and a bottle of turkish tobacco on a whim, and by the time I had the thing up and running I had smoked my last cigarette. For about a year or so, I even left on my desk the cigarettes I'd bought that morning; they were a reminder and a willpower test. I never touched 'em.
To this day, I believe that the long-wicked kanger t2 clearo clones that came with my first kit are the best tanks I've used. Oh sure, I've found a better vape on different tanks; the best were rebuilt protank minis wicked with organic cotton -- but all of the various crap I bought in those first several months failed to match the lowly t2's bang-for-buck, ease-of-use, and consistency. Probably blew through $3,000 on gear experimentation, and let's not even get into juice experimentation.
Even so, my trusty spreadsheet reports that my household has saved roughly $13,000 in the last ~2.5 years, based on cigarette prices at the time. The number probably should be higher, as my city passed an additional $2-per-pack tax a year ago.
Regardless, the REO arrived in May of 2014, and it hasn't left my hand since. Nothing compares.
The juice issue is stickier, and not just because I'm prone to spill it. Despite 38 years of near-indiscriminate eating habits, I'm apparently picky as hell when it comes to vaping flavors. Only a handful are passable. Don't love Tribeca (which tastes like toasted almonds to me, not tobacco), but I've been messing around with it as a savory change-of-pace complement to the sweet stuff that is my staple.
It's not bad. And the price is right. Recipe is simply 10% RY4 Double (The Flavor Apprentice), mixed with 1% Acetyl Pyrazine (also from the Flavor Apprentice), though I'm thinkin I'll reduce the former in the next batch. If only it tasted as good as it smells.
If only they all tasted as good as they smell. Thanks for the tips, man.

THANK YOU! Just had to add another appreciation note. I'm at the end of my 2 hrs, I changed the water around 45 minutes (yes, you were right on there too), and am looking forward to some wonderfully steeped e-liquid soon! Gonna keep that little machine out another day and clean some jewelry too.You're good to go. Open lid? No problem. Bottles taller than the water level? No problem.
480 second timer? Lotsa short cycles to get to your 2-ish hour steep, but again, no problem.
You'll see that the water will still heat up a lot around the 45 minute mark.
You guys peeked my interest. The UC would clean attys too, right? Good way to get lingering flavors out of attys?
Not that I'm a professional UCer now but I can share my experience of my extensive use (last evening...hahaha). I have a smaller unit (1 pint capacity) and I had 2 plastic 30 mls, 1 glass 30 ml, 1 glass 60 ml and I still had room for 1 or 2 more. (I kept the lid open...actually, the bottles kept the lid open). I kept the lids on during the process. Afterwards I let them sit, without lids in a dark cupboard. This morning, I can really taste the difference. The labels on the plastic ones didn't change. One of the labels on the glass one (nearest the side of the machine) did get shredded, so I just slapped a piece of masking tape on their with pertinent info.I am looking at a few UC, but I am not sure....
Can you do multiple flavors (bottles) at once ? Or will the UC wash away the labels ?
for enhanced atty, etc cleaning, add a teaspoon of dish-wash liquid (dawn? for you guys, Fairy Liquid over here, no, I don't know either !) for extra bubbles, the exploding micro-bubbles are what does the cleaning. If you want a demo, set a 1inch square of aluminium foil in there and see what it looks like after running the UC for a minute !You guys peeked my interest. The UC would clean attys too, right?

Good for you! I have a very simple small unit but it works for my purposes. After I mixed my juices the other day, I popped in some jewelry.I ordered one
