My preferred method consists of hot water bath for about 20 minutes immediately after adding all the ingredients to thin the mix, then a rigorous shake. After shaking, I take the tops off to let them breathe and put my bottles in an ultra sonic jewelry cleaner for about an hour. After that they go right into a cabinet for about a week to two weeks depending on the flavors with a rigorous shake once a day. This method, I feel, works great. It really doesn't speed anything up, but it's the best way to homogenize if you don't want to buy or build a magnetic stirring device. I use a crockpot set on the keep warm setting for heating, and you can pick up a jewelry cleaner at Walmart in the jewelry section for about $25.

FWIW this is the method I use to get a good balance of quick turn around and juice that doesn't loose it's flavour too quickly.

I make up the recipe and give it a quick shake. I put the juice on a heat pad (bottles capped) and warm it to about 35-40C/95-104F - it takes about an hour to heat up to this temp and doesn't get any hotter. About an hour after they're put on the heat pad I uncap the bottles and squeeze out the air from the head space and then give it a thorough shake. Bottles back on the pad for another hour and repeat the squeeze and shake. Remove from the heat pad and into a dark and cool drawer.

Most recipes seem good to go the next day and peak in flavour at about 1 week. They stay pretty good until week 3-4 when the flavour starts to drop off.

I like to mix and vape pretty quickly and I don't like having lots of juice around so this method has been working well for me.

I don't know if I'm the only one here that already knows the concept of steeping but still watch nav just because it's so beautifully done and presented?

Seriously thank you for all the videos and effort put into the diy community!
