Re: Ahh....

If they came directly from VD, then the cabling did not have enough Cooking time (in my experience and opinion). VD (and many other manufacturers) pre-condition their cables to a certain point (sometimes only 24--48 hours) so they are not "raw", and subsequently recommend further conditioning. Unfortunately, the conditioning offered via one's system, or via a refrigerator, is not as intense as the Cooker's multiplex signal, but not everyone has access to the unit.

Your protocol, while not ideal, is certainly better than simply running the cable in your system. The idea is to stress the materials as much as possible, and you are changing it up quite a bit with your methodology.
