I've often wondered if natural steeping would taste better than speed steeping. I'm sure I'm going to try it out one of these days, but I just keep vaping or giving away what I make too quick. I'd be interested to hear opinions from folks that have tried both on the same recipes. But I will test it one of these days to see.Being a most devout "Whovian" I use a time machine to steep my E-Liquids.
Perhaps you know it as a Calender?
I set my liquids in a cool dark place, and mark my Calender to bring them back out of stasis at a certain point (with some shaking in between) and I find them to be better than they were.
Interesting. So. do you put the lids in and lay the bottles down? My dehydrator has compartments too low to stand bottles in it up I think.I wouldn't get one at all. I used one for months before I started using a food dehydrator (from Bed, Bath, and beyond for $65). I find the dehydrator is perfect for steeping, I steep for 4 to 5 hours. Just turn on at 145deg F and let it go. Also, you can leave labels on since there's no water to worry about. I find the 5 hr. steeping to be the same as 3 hrs of Ultrasonic without having to constantly hit the button for the next 8 minute cycle. Quick steeping and no water mess. Perfect for me.
i know this is in the diy section but he never said whether it was for steeping or cleaningAbout to get one and looks like there's Number of Different ones.

I want the cleaner for cleaning all the fiddly little bits more than for steeping. The steeping is a bonus. I've heard that sitting in any warm area - on top of a coffee pot, in warm water, etc. will do about the same. I've heard people say the motion does more than the heat. I'm pretty undecided about what it is that accelerates steeping.
I guess you should have bought a real kayfun because good stailess steel doesn't rust.Would a ultrasonic remove rust from stainless steel?? I let my kayfun sit for a very long time and there's rust everywhere
Nice, the trays for my Fowlers one are not cheap here. I would have to lay them down. Going to try this next week I think. Would have been a bonus, heating the house this way in winter.The dehydrator comes with stackable round trays to place things on. I just snipped a wedge portion out of the top 2 trays and 30ml bottles stand up during operation. But really, laying down wouldn't be an issue either as long as the caps are tight. Dehydrators work great, and easy for lazy types like me.
You can buy extra trays for 13.99 for 2, so if you want to replace the trays you cut it's pretty cheap too.

Not sure where you are, but I bought mine from harbor freight. They have 2 different sizes to choose from.I want the cleaner for cleaning all the fiddly little bits more than for steeping.

Do you happen to know how much they cost? If not, thanks any way. Happy vapingNot sure where you are, but I bought mine from harbor freight. They have 2 different sizes to choose from.

What's the brand of the UC you got from Amazon.com?I got the cheapest one from Amazon.com, and it was $30 with free shipping. Works like a dream, too!
Sent from the Otter Box around my Galaxy S4.
Hey drone, what's the brand of dehydrator you got from bed bath and beyond?I wouldn't get one at all. I used one for months before I started using a food dehydrator (from Bed, Bath, and beyond for $65). I find the dehydrator is perfect for steeping, I steep for 4 to 5 hours. Just turn on at 145deg F and let it go. Also, you can leave labels on since there's no water to worry about. I find the 5 hr. steeping to be the same as 3 hrs of Ultrsonic without having to constantly hit the button for the next 8 minute cycle. Quick steeping and no water mess. Perfect for me.

Yes it does... it is just usually pretty resilient.Stainless steel does not rust.
Can you use plastic bottles in the crock pot?
I think I may have found The cheapest way to heat steep e-liquid with ultrasonic action! I am using my old, and thoroughly cleaned, Foot Bath! Mine has a Heat and Vibrating motion that is ultrasonic. I fill with water that is 120°F to 150°F and set a timer for 4 hours. I check every thirty mins to an hour to make sure it doesn't get too hot and in 4 hours, Walla. Your juice has now been heat steeped and has had an ultrasonic bath. It works very well! I have made a bottle of juice and let it steep for 2 weeks and then made the same recipe and heat steeped it in my Hot Tub Time Machine and they taste the same and are the same color. You can probable find a Foot Bath at garage sales or at your local Goodwill Store. You might even have one in the very back of your closet. *~*Heat slightly more than motion, but both together have the slight edge! Cheapest way to accomplish this is with a $10 crockpot. Use 'warm' setting for 4 hours with the lid slightly cracked, which will give you the optimal 150 degree temp.
