Steeping in a utrasonic cleaner?

[bear2249]

Has any one ever tried this?

some people say to warm the juice in a jug of water then shave the *$*%* out of it and repeat. So im just wondering what it would be like in the cleaner with warm water. 

I suppose it should work as all the cleaner is doing is vibrating/ shakeing the contents.

Cheers bud.

Ive only been on this forum a few days and just love the minefield of info on here.

In it goes.

Please note DO NOT let the water get hot, warmish is ok but hot is not good, nicotine does not go well with heat.

bear2249 also worth looking at this thread, but it is based on mixing: allaboute-cigarettes.proboards.com/thread/24190/little-test?page=1

That's great and thanks Romelee for that link, brilliant, i've already got an ultrasonic cleaner and some juices in the post that will need steeping when they arrive, only downside is my cleaner turns off every 5 mins so i think i'll have to see if i can bypass the timer.

bear2249 There's quite a lengthy thread about this on ECF

I tried it once but it didn't seem to make a lot of difference. However, since I've just got some '2 for 1' liquid from Joose Juice, it seems an ideal opportunity to conduct an experiment. I'm going to put one bottle in the cleaner and let the other steep normally. I'll let you know how it goes.

Not really a downside as you don't want it continuously on for long times as the water will get hot quite quick, put it on for 5mins, leave for 10mins and repeat, just keep a eye on the heat.

Ive set the heat at 25 degrees. Will that be OK?

I don't know about that side of things as my UC didn't have heat settings, if it was me i would set it at zero as the water gets hot when you use it.

Soon find out then lol

Ah right you are, i've got a few juices due early next week so i'll try it on a few and leave a few & see if there's a difference :-)

I did read on a juice suppliers site about doing this and they suggested having the water "as hot as your tap would produce it", zap them with the UC, then leave the bottles in the hot water to cool down gradually overnight?

Not sure about that as my hot tap water would scorch me

Yep mine gets pretty toasty too, just read on another site that hot water is no good for the nicotine content....seems to be lots of conflicting info out there, i guess its trial and error.

As long as you don't let the water get hotter than say tepid warm all is fine
