Steeping - how do you do it?

Ok enlighten me, the coffee frother method ?

I was going to ask about the coffee frother method too.

So I've squeezed the air out, capped and shaken them, uncapped them and put them in a cool dark drawer. Let's see how they turn out.

Gingerbread, Key Lime and Menthol seem ok from the off, although the Menthol smells stronger today than when I opened it two days ago. Bubblegum and Passion Fruit were very weak though, and I haven't tried vaping the Blackcurrant and Mango ones yet but they have very little scent in the bottles so far.

Frothing - since the aim of steeping is to get molecules to mix together, using a coffee frother such as this one helps to do just that. Mix, whizz, steep for a day - it speeds up (but does not entirely replace) natural steeping.

All you really need is some patience Saturnalia . . . there's no mystic art. Tuck any freshly made eliquid away in a dark cupboard or drawer, give the bottles a shake if you remember occasionally.

Simple really.

Frothing, I get it now. I drive quite a bit and have wondered if the glove box would be a good place, plenty of vibration to aid the binding of the different ingredients.

Why not try it out? If you want to be all scientific about it, make one that you glove-box-steep and one that you don't and see if there's a difference. Never be afraid to experiment
