Milk frother. But use the frother on the liquid before you put in the nic. Oxygen is not good for the nic.

Frothe... Put in bottle add nic then give it a quick shake... Thats how i mix....

oxygen isn't good for flavors either, the lighter volatiles will escape and make your flavor degrade.

True but i dont lets a 30ml of my home brew stay atound long enough to taste a differance. I do it when i need a creamy bakery flavor asap. I should throw it in a shoe box and give it a shake or two at night but ehhh to each their own.

Where did you get that from in his post, that he posted to a diy ejuice board?

He mentions it a couple times that he is mixing something thicker than juice

Magnetic stir plate/bar. I saw some on amazon that weren't "too" expensive (the lab-grade ones are very expensive)

eh, magnetic stirrers aren't great with VG in my experience. Try using a blender. Seems like you're making too much for a frother, not enough for a drum, so maybe a blender will fall somewhere in between.

I posted about this and got many responses from people who tried it, they all said it totally sucks.

Your post might have been the one I saw a few months ago... I haven't personally tried it just knew it existed. I just hand my bottles to my friend with Parkinson's and an hour later it doesn't even need to steep! /jk

Omfg, some jokes make me feel bad as I'm in the process of laughing. I'm picturing Michael J Fox with a 30mL.

Little DC powered box that you use a rubber strap to hold the bottle. Turn on and brrrmmmmmbrrrrrmmmmbrrrrmmmmmm shakes if all up... Don't know if it works well or not but I'm sure it can't hurt

Sawzall :)

Technically it is a reciprocating saw. Sawzall is a trademarked name owned by Milwaukee.

I was helping find the word he seemed to be searching for. I know what they are (technically)

Sorry but iv nvr had a problem simply shaking by hand. And that's with 80/20 and vg based nic. Good flavor distribution and no nic hotspots

Yeah I agree; I don't understand people's need for special tools and devices to shake a bottle. They'll jerk off, no problem, right? I honestly don't see a huge difference (I'm not even joking around). Even larger batches; when you get a gallon of milk or a quart of cream from the store/fridge, you shake it. Aside from being more viscous, why is vape juice so different?

I just made 3 different juices today, each one got shaken and put in my "I forget what I put in here" cupboard so when I remember in 3 weeks they'll be nice.

My only reason is chronic arm, neck and back pain. Lots of muscle spasms and shaking makes it worse.

I'm giving myself carpel tunnels and arthritis shaking these damn bottles. When I google this almost nothing logical comes out that is made to shake 30ml bottles. There needs to be something that is designed for shaking ejuice correctly, with a nice price point. I'm gonna invent and copyright the damn thing

I use a 3 prong lab clamp attached to my drill. Cheapest solution to manual shaking I've found.

The option here is a magnetic stir plate - either a DIY one (don't work too well unless you actually invest a good amount of time/money in it) or a commercial one.

Since the price point for that one seems too high for me, I'm currently mixing with a milk frother, so another +1 for that option from me. I've removed the metal spring part and left only the clean metal there.

It works great, and if you are careful and mix the right amounts you can mix it without introducing much oxygen bubbles (about the same amount you would while shaking it anyway).

If you mix 10 ml in a 100 ml container it's going to introduce much more oxygen since the liquid won't be covering the frother well, but I haven't noticed any trouble with that frankly (my 10 ml sample bottles never last more than 2 weeks after the 2 week steep time, so 1 month in total)
