Diy eJuice Mixing tool How-to

This is just a quick tutorial for those who don't want to use a milk frother due to aeration issues. I've seen other methods of this posted, however I've never seen anyone suggest smoothing out the wire of the shaft and this method seems to prevent aeration for the most part, while maintaining an effective mix. This tool is super quick and cheap to make, requiring just a few things:

Kanthal (22g or 24g is best),
Pliers (Toothless and toothed are preferable so you can smooth out the wire afterward)
A Drill

I hope this helps out a few of you new guys starting out, who might also have wrist problems, like myself. I tested it on a 120ml of pure vg and it caused very little discernable aeration, even at 6k RPM while being used in a dremel. However, I do plan to test it again in a mix of plain 80/20 base, to properly estimate the effects on liquids that aren't max VG

Would only do this before nicotine is added.

Even if I'm using it at very low rpm? I haven't noticed any air bubbles forming in the 2-4k rpm range and I thought that was essentially the only thing you'd have to worry about.

Oh yeah if you can avoid aeration you're likely good to go!

I'll probably still try and add nicotine afterwards, just to be safe, but I normally add it first so that I don't mess up a whole batch by overshooting the nic weight. I think I might need to buy some higher quality syringes so I can get a steadier flow going when I'm adding my nic.

I use the $8 paint mixer from amazon if i make a 30ml , i drop my nic in if im makeing bigger batch i mix it then drop it in my usc for 8 min and all the air bubbles are gona so the nic dont oxidise

Why before nic is added?

Exposure to air degrades nicotine

Interesting. I honestly just can't see how that would degrade it to where you would even come remotely close to noticing it..

I've missed something here, why is aeration bad ? I've been using a milk frother on my drill for a year now, definitely want to know if this is the wrong way.

same here, i feel out of the loop.
only thing i can think of is possibly the nic spoiling but at such a low concentration surely it wouldn't be that bad?

It can cause oxidation of the nicotine, making it harsher, you're introducing little air bubbles all over the juice. I just shake the shit outta my bottles, it leaves bubbles but I don't really see a problem with it. It's not that much air, but still introducing it. I've been doing it for a while and I don't feel like the juice goes bad from nicotine, I only vape at 3mg though. So not too much nicotine compared to others.

Thanks for posting that, I meant to give him credit for inspiring me, but I couldn't remember his name. I found that the way I ended up doing it introduces much less air, if any, to the mix. I'll have to do a video of me using it to mix a 80/20 base to show how well it works.
