Steeping Techniques

Did an experiment yesterday (after reading about it on http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com) Speedup steeping in ultrasonic bath. When first mixed (RY4 5.5ml + Cherry 7.3ml + Menthol 7.2ml) the cherry was totally overwhelming and the menthol gave me a BALL-KICK in the throat. No juice left and can not wait for 2 - 3 weeks. I know they use ultrasonic devices in chemical labs to mix stuff, so I put the freshly mix in the ultrasonic bath and kept the water temp under 50C so as not to oxidize the nicotine. In the 3 hours plus cool down time I almost took a stinkie. Well I was surprised beyond all stinkies when I took the first vape - it worked; the cherry and menthol was very subtle afterthoughts and I could "taste" the RY4 for the first time what it's suppose to be. No more KICK-N-THE-BALLS throat hit, but as I like it. Vaped myself in a stupor last night.
Wow thats awesome! Well done man! Where do you get the Ultrasonic bath?
 
I must say! Just dropped some of this nuked juice into my iClear 16 and it is tasting really really smooth! I think we have a solution! I'll try it with some other juice and report back! :D
Lol! Check everyone Microwaving their Ass Juice tonight hoping to improve the flavor! I know im going to :D
 
And for those of us that have no idea what everyone is talking about here is the definition of Steeping from the Vape Lingo PDF given to us earlier today. :rolleyes: Now we all know what's going on.

Steeping: The act of letting your e-liquid sit for a length of time. The purpose is to allow the
components of the e-liquid to merry or intermingle and mature. Some users will try an e-liquid
immediately after receiving it and find it not favorable. By letting it sif for an allotted amount of time
and retrying it later can improve the flavor. Sometimes a couple of days or as much as a week or two
of letting the juice steep will make a e-liquid taste great. Opening the cap and letting the air into the
bottle is sometimes also a preferred method of steeping, along with shaking the bottles to mix the
components.

As I'm in the electronic industry, I bought one about 5 years ago in China. I think smaller ones (ideal for e-liquid steeping) like they use to clean jewelry is available off-the-shelf at China-malls, bidorbuy and even saw one at Dischem.

Oh cool! I will have to go investigate! Hope they dont cost an arm and a leg!
 
Should be cheap - industrial units are round 2k.

Oh, thats really not bad at all! hmm, now the decision maling, Mechanical mod + kayfun or a ultrasonic bath! This is really going to be a tough one!
 
If you got enough juice go for mod & kayfun

I concur! I see the cheap ones are about R500 and goes up to R2.5k... Will put some cash away :) Thanks for that info! Was really helpful! :) I read about them before but never took any notice!
 
It does the trick, the above mentioned forum has a lot of technical chemistry info why and how it works. They i.e claim that every hour of steeping in ultra sonic bath equals 1 week normal steeping.

Wow thats crazy! Maybe i should just pour hot water onto my subwoofer and drop the juice in there.. Haha
 
Woofer won't work, you need frequency in excess of 40kHz -piezo tweeter will work

Nope, I'm not going to nuke my ass juice to improve the flavour. I'm gonna do it because I can! :D
 
No worries - we all get mentally constipated from-time-to-time :)
 
Sounds like it is a much better idea than dropping it into the Microwave

I assume the taste changes (off-taste) and ?mg concentration disappears

I see, that is bad! Ill try the hot bath by just soaking it in warm water, shake, soak, shake, soak and shale again and then let it steep for a few days for now...
