Will a mug warmer work for warming up the mix and solvents?

Migrated topic.

So I just found some interesting mug warmers that can heat up to around 130-150f depending on the settings. Would they work during the extraction?

They basically function as a laboratory warmer, and can work for several hours. Don't think that heating 500-1000ml in a glass/borosilicate bottle will be a problem for it :)

I have a nearly irrational and borderline obsessive fear of my vessel cracking while being heated and dying everything in the vicinity, so I’ma pretty big fan of a sink full of hot water to fulfill that purpose, but i don’t see a reason why it wouldn’t work…

Not irrational at all since I've had jars full of bark soup break in my pot of hot water. I like that the vessel is in another vessel in case breaks like these occur, because they do happen.

Well, one can always place the heater inside something else to avoid that, use borosilicate bottles, or even use an extra water bath between the mix bottle and the heater 😁

But I don't see why this would happen here, since the surface of the heater doesnt reach so high temperatures!

Oh! No doubt on both counts. I was thinking if the vessel was placed directly on the pad.

Give it a shot. And let us know how it goes :)

What's wrong with a stovetop? Put some water in a pot, put a little wire spacer on the bottom, and plop your jar on top. Always worked for me. Actually I didn't even use a spacer cause I didn't have one, and my glass vase (er—extraction vessel) held up fine.
