70/30 VG juice burns

[gscott1979]

I made a few adjustments to a batch of juice then gave it 30 seconds in the microwave only to see it rise up the neck of the bottle and the bottle buckle
Ended up running for the sink before juice ended up all over the microwave and floor,it ended up all over the hands instead,it was like lava,lesson learned[emoji3]

Ouch! I do this when I'm trying new flavours out, but usually in 3 second bursts. 3-4 seconds is plenty of time.

I would be concerned about chemical traces leeching from some plastic types. So be careful nuking mixes. With this in mind, I've moved totally to glass bottles only for storage/steeping(100-200ml) and dropper type(50mil) for top ups.

With the lid removed, a short burst for nuking(4-6sec is good). Just warm it a little to mix well, the bottle never ending up hot to the touch.
