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?
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
