Many mixers use no heat at all, for fears of losing volatile flavor molecules and degrading the nicotine.
Search the Game Changer homogenizer threads to see the latest discussions on the subject.
General consensus:
Heat does degrade nicotine, so if you use heat, add the nic after the mix cools.
Heating the VG to 60c/140f is the preferred method. Mix your flavors and PG at room temp, then top off with heated VG.
The flavors we use are designed for food and beverage. That industry, more often than not, does heat to 60c, from what I’ve read.
You are doing great with the amount of hours you’ve spent reading since you joined. If you focus on this subject and read all you can, you’ll make the best decision for yourself. Keep up the good work!
Ps. I only use heated VG if I’m going to use the homogenizer.
A term that stuck around me: ‘Walkies’ is often said to a dog when you tell them it’s walk time. As I have a Chinese wife, was born in a Dog Year, and walk a lot - it stuck.
Only 1 day steeped, but this is already the best Oatmeal Cookie I’ve come up with yet! Gotta give it at least a week to steep on the next batch, long gone the days of letting a mix rest 30 days, (for shame! Ha!) This one is going to go fast.
What? Your missing a flavor! Well there you go. Everyone else is always posting recipe after recipe with flavors I don’t have. How does it feel - jk
On the serious question, “is it even available”, I don’t know. Since it’s one of the seven Flavorah flavors I have, I haven’t looked around
I won one of Smokey’s giveaways and that was one of the five flavors I chose. So mine came directly from our once resident Flavorah champion herself.
I was slow getting to the River supply 50% sale and almost all the Flavorah is gone. I did manage to scores bottle of Basil. I may have some Thai inspired mixes in the future. I can’t wait.
Does this mean you were actually going to mix my recipe? Maybe you just noticed it uses a flavor you don’t have? I think I’m going to drip it some to see how it’s doing after a day.
Now it’s public. I’m doing okay, thanks for asking. Just been kinda off the forums for awhile to concentrate on family and such. Got rid of most of my mods and attys to people that are just starting out…hope they eventually want my flavor stash and everything.
Wow @Deerslayer, I had to read it twice, LOL. Congratulations man. Doing nothing is safer than doing something, so I congratulate you, on your doing nothing.
