This post should indicate how bored I am to post this. LOL
​
Mixed a new batch of stuff this morning. I use a tooth-pick to push into the tip of the nozzle, then needle-nose pliers to grab onto it to pop it off. When I put it back on, the tooth-pick was still in it. It made it convenient to carry, so took it outside to do some shaking now and again. Happened to spin the tooth-pick between my fingers and thought, "Why not use this to help stir those ingredients together?"

So you can imagine me holding the vape device in one hand and spinning that 30 mL bottle one way then the other. It's kinda cool actually, creates this lil whirlpool action inside of it. My challenge has been to try to get the contents spinning so fast that the air in the center reaches the bottom. Been kinda close!

P.S. Hope this was some comic relief for y'all.

Centrifugal force is separating our ingredients not mixing them together iirc.
Yeah, you don't want a centrifuge, it seperates things by density. You want chaotic mashing action.
I spaced. You need to add a rock tumbler to it so there's opposing forces.

The science behind it- https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18023907
"This is the first report on the use of a "dual asymmetric centrifuge (DAC)" for preparing liposomes. DAC differs from conventional centrifugation by an additional rotation of the sample around its own vertical axis: While the conventional centrifugation constantly pushes the sample material outwards, this additional rotation constantly forces the sample material towards the center of the centrifuge. This unique combination of two contra rotating movements results in shear forces and thus, in efficient homogenization. We demonstrated that it is possible to prepare liposomes by DAC, by homogenizing a rather concentrated blend of hydrogenated phosphatidylcholine and cholesterol (55:45 mol%) and 0.9% NaCl-solution, which results in a viscous vesicular phospholipid gel (VPG). The resulting VPG can subsequently be diluted to a conventional liposome dispersion. Since DAC is intended to make sterile preparations of liposomes, or to entrap toxic/radioactive compounds, the process was performed within a sealed vial. It could be shown that the DAC speed, the lipid concentration, the homogenization time and the addition of a mixing aid (glass beads) are all critical for the size of the liposomes. Optimized conditions resulted in liposomes of 60+/-5 nm and a trapping efficacy of 56+/-3.3% for the model compound calcein."
An example of what the two combined should look like- https://speedmixer.com/centrifugal-vacuum-mixer/
