As I understand steeping, it is a chemical reaction, and on that basis, mixing will help to a degree, however other than finding some catalyst to speed up the reaction, you would be better off being patient

Yes and no. Steeping is a chemical process, yes. All the components break down and mix (homogenizes over time). This device just speeds up the process. The science behind this is sound.

Actually steeping isn't what is being done with e-liquid. Steeping comes from soaking solids in a liquid as to extract flavor or to soften it. Letting e-liquid sit for a time is to let the different flavors mix and "cure" to produce the final flavor product. It's more "curing" than steeping.

When I used the term "breaking down" it was in the wrong context, I'm sorry. I meant that the flavor molecules bond with each other to form new flavors and if you homogenize the liquid, you speed this up as flavors struggle to bond and mix in a viscous liquid like VG, so heating it up and homogenizing it will certainly speed this up imo and you can add the nicotine after this process if you're worried that the heating will oxidize the nicotine.
This is how I see this and it makes sense to me. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm not, but this looks legit to me.
In a sense, yes! ...Isn't a homogenizer the thing I use to blend my soup? Stick blenders? View attachment 205860
Thanks!! Well I happen to have a dremel and I like to make up stuff. Sometimes things work and sometimes not, maybe will come up with somethingIn a sense, yes! ...
The only difference being that in a true homogenizer, the liquid is forced through a mesh guaranteeing a minimum particulate size.
So I agree that by blending, (or homogenizing if you prefer), of a more viscous to a less viscous liquid, that you would end up with a resultant fluid somewhere between the two viscosities, and this would be dependent on the viscosity and volumes of the fluids combined.
I also agree that this viscosity will have an effect in turn on the distribution of any scents, (and flavours) in suspension, sure! ... however;
This assumes that there is no chemical reaction / maturation / steeping happening, either within the flavours and fragrances or between them and the PG / VG and or Nic.
The reality however is that the less viscous, (or thinner), the resultant, the quicker those suspended particulates, (aka non chemically bonded), will settle out, requiring redistribution, (which is indeed what happens to eliquid, requiring a shake before using), however the nose or fragrance in fact improves over this initial period contrary to the settling theory, and implying a chemical reaction of sorts ... confusion!
Whilst I understand chemistry intimately, I'm a newbie WRT eliquid "brewing", and having watched the video offered up, and having read the "justifications", cannot make sense of it for all the contradictions therein, sooooo ... based on the old maxim of; "if it doesn't make sense, you don't have all the information", and or that it's bull####, my search for the truth continues ...
The problem with a blender is that in introduces a lot of air and this isn't ideal when it comes to steeping as increased oxygen leads to increased oxidation. This homogenizer basically moers the living daylights out of all the components forcing them to mix equally. I personally think this gadget will work, much like a sonicator is used to break open cell walls.Isn't a homogenizer the thing I use to blend my soup? Stick blenders? View attachment 205860

I like that you're prepared to take for the team, however a cheaper and more effective test would be to ask someone who has access to a laboratory homogenizer, to homogenize a percentage of a few flavoured batches at varying times and grades against a control, and ... sample themWell said and we probably won't know until we test it ourselves. I like the idea and I'm willing to take one for the team when finance allows for it. The gadget can be used for other quick "blending" as well so it won't be a total loss if it doesn't work as intended (or hyped if you will).

There are thousands of old hype threads on this forum to go read on all sorts of vape hardware.
Even if someone will buy this Vape fryer, they will not admit its a pos, history teach us that
So my question is, if i use a blender don't add nic and mix the vg+pg and concentrate with a blender would it have any effect on the flavour cause your are adding air to the mix?
I'm just tired of shaking.

Hello. Thank you for your interest. Due to US Postal Service conditions related to the Covid-19 pandemic, delivery guarantees have been suspended by them and other restrictions appear to be in force. I'm very sorry but am not willing to ship to South Africa or several others at this time. Dan
I actually tried to get put on the waiting list for a Game Changer order and this was the reply...
Definitely will do...Just keep the connection. I'm down for one when he's willing to ship.
