Have you ever....

Oh no, I never apply direct heat. I just fill up a ceramic boil with hot water and let them sit in there, occasionally removing them for a quick shake until they cool to room temperature when they go back into the 'steeping cupboard'. My wife says that whole room smells like a bakery ha ha.

Cool - perfect way to do it

But your mixer you built should eliminate any need for heat

Infra-red lights for heating maybe? Removes the need for water as heat carrier..

Interestingly it seems nicotine only breaks down in the presence of UV (sun?) light when there is oxygen available, according to this

Problem solved with airtight brown bottles from what I gather from this article?

I think I may have been overly careful with the warm baths of juices.

I thought if its slightly to hot, then it will degrade the nic straight away.

Well, it never hurts to be over cautious

I just had a eureka moment... my DSTV decoder runs quite warm almost permanently. I wonder what the outcome would be if I left my bottles on there overnight to steep. It reaches around 40 degrees. Any thoughts?

This is what I do, except replace DSTV decoder with my wireless/internet-router.
She runs about 35 degrees permanently, so a nice steady source of low heat.
Just make sure its not in direct sunlight.

My router stands upright unfortunately... Tried out the decoder operation - seems to speed things up a little but nothing beats time!

i use the philistine method. Microwave on high for one revolution.

I did that once, the plastic bottle shrunk lol. I was trying to lessen the 24mg nic of some crappy juice.

I also melted a bottle once. I use the lab flasks from a skybluekit now.
