New to DIY, how do you guys stir/mix your juice?
submitted about 11 years ago by MacHater420

Sorry if this is really obvious, but what ways do you use to stir in the nicotine and other ingredients?

I stir it with a needle, and than shake while it's in the bottle, is this good enough?

Honestly, I just shake it for a bit. You're probably way over thinking things.

I use a hotplate with a beaker with a little bit of water in it, and then a smaller beaker with the juice I'm making. I let it stay on "low" for about 50 minutes. The color changes dramatically. After it cools down, it's good. I use a glass stick for stirring.

I shake all flavors and nic together to blend and then add the VG last. I leave plenty of headroom and shake the bottle daily for a week.

When I am in a hurry, I have a sawsall blade that I covered the teeth with duct tape. Just holding the bottle to the side of the blade with one hand, I shake as fast as I can control the bottle for one minute. Microbubbles remain at the top 24 hours later and it vapes like week old juice in 48 hours.

Thanks for your advice.

Use some wide rubber bands make and just strap it onto the blade. No holding involved then you can shake it as long as you like.....works great.

I shake it once then put it in an ultrasonic. I've also used a milk frother which works but I didn't like losing flying droplets.

Could you recommend a cheap ultrasonic?

Harbor Freight $30 model. Clamp the on button down and use a cheap wall timer to keep the cycles on/off so it doesn't burn out. I use 30 min on 30 min off.

I use an ultrasonic cleaner for about a half hour, then "speed-cure" it in a crockpot on its lowest setting overnight.

Thanks for using "cure" instead of "steeping."

After adding all of my ingredients, I give the bottle a good shake for a couple of minutes, fill a crockpot with a few inches of water, set my bottle in the crockpot and let it set on the the low heat setting for a about 6-8 hours. I give it a good shake every so often, but heating it in the crockpot does most of the work for me. Depending on the juice, it's usually ready to vape after it's done in the crockpot, some of my flavors however, require a couple extra days to cure to reach maximum flavor. Custards and other desert flavors tend to need more time to cure. I'm also looking into buying an ultrasonic jewelry cleaner as that can help speed of the process from what I've read.

A milk frother works well with a shot glass for smaller batches.

After all your ingredients have been added to your bottle, wrap it in a dish towel, seal them in a ziplock bag and put them in your clothes dryer for 30-45 min on no heat. They will come out looking like they have glitter in them from the micro bubbles. This is the cheapest and least amount of effort I have found.

I usually mix one ounce at the most, so I have a couple 2 oz. bottles I mix in, then shake the heck out of.

I put the bottle on my glass top stove for a minute on mid heat to boil off any alcohol and thin out the VG. Then I shake it for another minute. Most of my flavors seem to be ready in a couple days after that.

Shake it after warming it. I microwave a glass of water until it's too hot to put my finger in, then let the bugger take a dunk. By the time the water is cool, the mix is still warm and less viscous and takes well to a good shaking.

By then it's well mixed and just needs to steep more.

If I mix it in the bottle, I just shake it up. If I mix bigger batches and use a beaker, I kind of do the same thing and swirl it around.
