Nothing foams a juice as fast and as thorough as the good ol' Sawzall lol.

Works for me. Need to find mass quantities of zip ties and an army of souls for mass production:)

There are always velcro zipties (I use them for all my cable management needs) or plastic reusable zipties (never used em so idk how good they are).

I secure and attach a bunch of different size PVC tubes to the blade which i heat the ends to fit the bottle sizes very snug .

Works well

That's pretty much what I use for my smaller batches, works great!

How does that compare to the ikea milk frother? There's a ikea nearby in town I can run off to grab one but 10$ and prime isn't to bad either. Would you say it's possibly dangerous to use that paint mixer and a glass beaker?

It has mixed reviews on amazon, apparently the stirring mechanism is pretty weak and breaks in the dishwasher. So let us know how it works with some heavy vg mixes if it works for ya i'll be more than happy to switch for that rather than my crappy diy stir plate.

I've been using this and it works well, even in high vg mixes. I stir it for about a minute with this and then set it on the radiator to steep faster.

Does the beater end fit in standard bottles, or do you mix in a mason jar or something?

It doesn't fit in standard bottles. You'll need to mix in something bigger in order to use it.

It doesn't, the beater end is about 1.25 inches in diameter. I mix mine in a 120ml measuring cup. Mix of my batches are 60ml, so its my perfect set up

Haha, I was actually at IKEA today and couldn't resist buying that. $2.79 is a steal for that

I'm probably going to tweak it a little. It needs some work

By "tweaking" you mean, that you will buy an RC plane motor, bypass the shitty, internal wiring and hook that bad boy up to a 12 V car battery, right?

If so: you know how to get juice excited ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Either that or stick a pair of 14500 batteries in there and have fun.

I still have some 14500s sitting around a mod I had years ago. I charged a pair up and stuck it into a powered pencil sharpener. It used to struggle to sharpen a pencil and now it spins like crazy.

Why did I never think to use my brewing equipment for juice...

tried it - not strong enough to stir VG heavy juice

Thanks for the heads up, guess I'll head to the ikea and pick up a frother for the cheap then.
