Made a very large bath of juice using a blender. Very cloudy and white. Any concerns?
submitted about 7 years ago by AceOfPilotsGG

I made a very big batch of juice and a blender to mix it up but now its cloudy white.

Should i be concerned

Im assuming its just air mixed in from the blending and will go away over time

Why though?

When you want to mix a pint of ejuice but don't have a big enough bottle or mixing cylinder. I would never recommend to mix in something that you make smoothies in but to each their own.

I always make sure to scrub the soap scum before I mix. Otherwise you get a nasty ring in the tub.

Its air. It’ll be fine.

It’ll settle but for what it’s worth you’re damaging the juice, oxidizing the nic and probably removing some flavor

No you don't understand the spinning motion of the blades combined with an enclosed space literally chops up the oxygen molecules present. My cousin died this way in Korea on holiday.

Korean fan death only exists in Korea though. That's why it's called KOREAN fan death.

If you're going to make large batches I suggest getting yourself a hand mixer (like the kitchenaid hand mixer that are like $25-$35) and a $11 stirring rod attachment. Mixes large batches quickly without aerating the mix as much, which destroys your flavoring. Bonus: hand mixers are just handy to have around anyway for cooking various things.

How much of a difference in flavor is going to change?

Not very much at all. You've probably oxidized slightly more nic than you would have if you had been ... less enthusiastic ... but that's still a tiny amount. There's no reason this juice shouldn't be perfectly fine.

Thank you

I'm a little disappointed.

I followed the recipe on Bull City Flavor for the best damn pink lemonade using 80/20 mix and idk

It's not like out there out there as i expected.

idk if its my coils being too cool? .25 ohm at 55 watts

Air basically quickly degrades flavors. Some of them it makes them taste "off" or like it's gone bad, others will be much less flavorful. It almost certainly won't taste the way it's intended to.

RIP Fresh batch :(

I know you got lots of responses here. Personally I wouldn’t do anything other than mix in a bottle and steep. I reuse the old 500ml bottles for mixing my base up at 20/80 pg/vg/nic. You could easily have base ready to go and then mix all your flavors for any recipe as just concentrates and then mix/top off a 30ml bottle every few days. Fresh juice with zero effort.

It's honestly not necessary to buy a mixer or a blender just shake it and your good to go. Excessive mixing and you'll loose nic to oxidation and quality in the process. It's always best to just give them a good shake a few times. If I wanna make a big batch I use old 1L bottles I've rinsed from my VG base and mix about a 660ml batch which leaves plenty of room to easily shake a batch. For personal use when experimenting I usually just mix 30ml batches in 60ml bottles.

He made a whole bath. How would you shake that.

You need to use a jacuzzi tub, like the pros.

Just don't fart in it.

I thought it was a good guy at first

I didn't realize a quick few pulses would heavily affect the taste

It won't. If anything, it may slightly accelerate the steeping process.

I like my e-juice the same way James Bond 007 likes his Martinis, Shaken not Stirred. I think aggressive mixing bruises the fruits and some other flavors. Even though your juice will go back to normal and be vapable, I hope you will try mixing the same recipe and shake it in a glass bottle, then report back your findings.

I use a 26oz booze bottle. As long as you leave a little room, you can shake and rotate it to blend. Sometimes it helps to shake up the flavors, nic and PG with a splash of VG first. Then dilute with VG

This way you have a non-reactive container that is colored right to block ionizing EM

I get this when mixing juice and just shaking the container violently, with certain flavorings. It's no big deal. It'll settle out in a day, two at most.

Assuming you mean batch...

What you're seeing, assuming you were using a brand new blender washed and then rinsed rinsed thoroughly with DI, would be just a LOT of air bubbles dispersed throughout the liquid. Like, air bubbles so small you couldn't really see the bubbles. If that's the case, then after... I don't know, a week? you'll see normal juice.

But taking into account that you used a blender and weren't meticulous enough to check for typos... You probably fucked it, most likely you didn't wash and rinse enough, so you've probably got soap or particulate in there.

You only need as much mixing as a good shaking session will bring in a closed, sterilized bottle (That'll usually include a good rinse with DI to make sure you're not vaping plastic particulate) unless your VG is ice cold, like sitting in the basement for weeks in the middle of January cold. At worst, you want a 10 minute session with a stir bar man.

All you've done trying to speed up the process of mixing this way is encourage the flavoring to vaporize and GTFO while introducing way too much oxidation into the entire thing. It'll be peppery and bland... so if you're sure you washed well, and that's your thing, it should be fine.

That's a huge assumption over me not pressing down my C key hard enough

Everything was cleaned thoroughly and dried

Sorry but just reading this reply specifically made me laugh.

since we’re all tossing kitchen gadgets into the ring, if you don’t want bubbles but still want your shit mixed fast, use an immersion blender. It’s less violent than a regular blender and won’t add as much air as a hand mixer. Not a DIY guy yet, but I have a lot of hours in kitchens.

You need a tall-ish container to mix in to avoid air getting mixed in. Some air will find it’s way into the mix though.

I mean, it happened twice and once was in the title.

Even if you did wash and dry thoroughly, a blender is just plain overkill for mixing.
