How to reduce steep time

[Richard Winter]

Think of your recipe. Mix the concentrates and the 72mg. Just leave that aside for a week before you too it up with vg and pg. There’s nothing easier.

I mix it all at the same time and leave it for a week, that way there is only one visit.

Same with my method. You just add the vg and pg when you pick it up after it’s week instead of before you leave it.

We don’t all have the luxury of time @Richard Winter .

If time is of importance, speed steep it..... shake it to death, heat it up...........

 

[zouzounaki]

No, it’s better to give it a stir. Don’t shake it and don’t heat it up either.

Shall we just agree that my method is easier lol.

No.

But that will require washing up the stiring implement. My method requires no washing

 

[Richard Winter]

No.

Then i think we should say we are both right, just that we achieve the end result slightly differently lol.

A couple of months ago i mixed 100ml of a custard recipe and split it into two 50ml bottles.
The one on the right i put in a drawer with a 15w uv torch trained on it for two hours and the other i left out.
The one with the uv torch on it tasted like it had been steeped for a few weeks.
Posted the results on here but got told it was just degradation.

UV and heat will increase steeping times as far as im aware
