VG steeping ?

[crunchynut]

Personally I use just time in a dark cool cupboard and a shake daily, but I have heard of people using ultrasonic baths, heating juices (thins the vg and allows flavours to mix better supposedly) even heard of people putting into the washing machine and microwave.

Going back to mixing and getting more into it than a few years back I've noticed a lot of Americans use a warm bath to help steep and get a shake & vape taste before putting it away

Only advantage of heat (gentle heat with warm water bath or the like) is to make the VG easier to mix. I mix high VG juice but don't find it particularly difficult to use or mix.
Good shake every day, leave lid of bottle on to allow the chemical process to do its job. Only open bottle to check near end of expected steep time.

Nic is nic and is not a "base" to just add flavours to, very important to know the difference between nic solution and a ready mixed base (base will be a mix of PG and VG and sometimes nic to which you simply add flavour).

A lot of questions on here recently, easy to see that there is confusion out there, so do be very careful unless you're using no nic.
Check, ask, double check, use two calculators and your own maths and ask again. Once you get it right you'll be fine but take care, don't overdose on nic.

with custards I think you need at least 6 weeks and after that they just seem to improve more as time goes on

just a quick question on the steeping front, with 100%VG mixes (VG based concentrates and nic) or in fact any mixes, what steeping methods are you guys using? @Donald Trump's fister @turtletom100 ....

sorry OP for hijacking the thread, was just curious

Hi, i just shake it for a while after mixing and then put in in a cupboard and let time do its trick. I do try and give the mix a daily quick shake but apart from that , as i say i just let it steep . Hope that helps and enjoy your diy attempts.

Cheers guys, I've been using the cupboard technique for a while now but might try a warm bath steep just for a comparison... all good advice, and happy vaping!
