If you only making one juice at a time, simply fill a coffee cup with hot (tap water not boiling water) and place your sealed newly mixed juice inside. Let it stand until the water came to room temp, rinse and repeat for 3 times while giving the bottle a good shake in-between washes. Then place the bottle in a cool dark place to steep for at least a week. Remember to give the bottle a good shake every other day. If you making multiple bottles just scale it up and use something like tupperware.
The hot bath simply just kick starts the steeping process, breaking down the flavouring molecules to bind with the PG/VG.

Please be careful of the hot bath technique - it should actually be a warm bath.
Just remember that the heating of eliquid above 50 degrees results in the oxidation of the nicotine - meaning it loses its potency.

Better to get one from Gerry Optics in Strydom Park.
They offer excellent customer service, and have a simple one with 8 min timer, or a more advanced one, which @Rowan Francis just got. I have the 8 min timer one, and it works beautifully

Fyi . Gerry's optics will be getting new stocks of ultra sonic cleaners in two weeks time . A good investment for cleaning and steeping .

I havent managed to clean myself in mine yet @Rowan Francis, if you perfect the technique please let me know
Hi you said cleaning ... as in cleaning mods? Anything else vape related?
Here is the one I got:

Was about R1350 I think.
You can use it to clean sunglasses, glasses, mods, atomisers, tanks, coils and wicks. Pretty much anything but a battery.
I used it to clean the SVD's telescopic tube, and the grime that you watch dissolve as soon as you turn on the machine it actually astounding. Same goes for glasses. The dirt literally just fizzes out of the object
Yes exactly the same thing; Ultra Sonic Bath/Cleaner - get the biggest (in power) that you can afford. If you want to speed up steeping, use glass containers for e-liquid as glass transfer ultra sonic waves better than plastic.
A word of caution here, it seems the Ultrasonic cleaner cracks thin glass. I had two protank 2 mini glasses I placed in mine, and they didn't survive the process. Just be careful with your PT and Nautilus glass, I think it is better not to place them in the cleaner, just my suspicion
They must have had stress fractures already before you placed them in the Ultrasonic cleaner - I clean thin microscope slides at 180W, without a problem.
yes that is likely what happened then @johan, was either stress fracture or a weakness from manufacturing
Still the lesson was learnt, and since glass is inert and does not absorb flavours from eliquid there isnt really a need to USC, when a rinse under running water does the job
