How long do you usually keep it going? My eyes suck, so I always like to have something else to go on other than visual indicators. Are we talking 1 minute, or more like 10?

I said it in the post above you cuz… lol just check periodically, there’s no real ‘set’ time
Since different seeds will have difference in thickness and hardness

LOL, thats a “trip into town” for me…
An alternative heat source for the paper towel method is your modem / router. Just put the baggie on top, there’s some heat, but not too much. Did that many times (even more times for hot peppers since I did alot of them in the past 10 yrs).
I have to admit, I have always wondered about growers using RO water (unless they have municipal with chlorine in it). I have a few RO and RO/DI systems here from my reef tank days where we wanted TDS to be zero. But if I have well water, wouldn’t I only be removing minerals that the plants might ultimately use (and that we re-add with nute mixes)?? I recall pure RO/DI being bad to drink, as it would pull minerals from your body to regain osmotic balance.
Always seemed silly to remove minerals and then just add em back with nutes…

As far as seed germination, as @JohnnyPotseed said this is probably the wrong thread… and even better, there’s already a thread dedicated to precisely this topic. 
Germinating old Seeds has lots of good suggestions. DMSO sounds interesting, could quite possibly be the most effective of any method I’ve seen described. I’ll have to try that some time.
As far as I can tell, RO water is basically for suburban/urban growers who can’t trust their water supply, or for high-end hydroponic systems where you need to have 100% precision on everything about the water your plants are getting. Like you said, not sure it’s going to be all that useful if your water’s already pretty clean. It gives you full control over the precise makeup of the TDS, is all, which is helpful but not entirely necessary in soil.

My understanding as well. It doesn’t have chloramine in it like tap does and I was attempting to avoid it.

Our city water is terrible. 9 ph and I’m scared to look at ppm. Keeps vegetable gardens alive with no growth hardly at all. It’s a soft water that comes from a deep well. RO is all we use for our indoor grow
