Do mixes stay homogenous over time?
submitted almost 6 years ago by ner0417

Or do you need to shake your mixes before each use?

Or... Should you shake it either way just in case? Lol

You generally need to shake - this is especially true for more volatile ingredients like fruits. The liquid will look homogeneous but you'll lose flavor if you don't shake. I would recommend shaking every time you're going to open a bottle - it can help and it sure can't hurt :)

I was going to suggest shaking every time before opening a bottle but you beat me to it.. :) It literally like reflex after you do it so many times.

I was literally shaking a bottle to pour into my daily carry bottle as i read this. It was pretty hard to argue with you at that point :) Like you say, you just do it. Now i find i shake bottles that have nothing to do with vaping out of habit. Girlfriend is like "why are you shaking the shampoo bottle?" Me: "er.... it owes me money?"

Yeah I think I'll do just this. It's easy enough. I was shaking vigourously after mixing, and then just let it sit with my other juice bottles and pipette it out as needed, with no extra shaking. I feel like I was getting heavy nicotine in some tanks but other tanks was not so much. Time to shake shake shake

nicotine tends to settle to the bottom especially in a fresh mix so you can get nicotine hotspots

so yeah shake it baby

I've gotten to the point where the habit is so strong I shake my shampoo bottle before opening it in the shower.

I got this! So what you do is:

1.Find a room in your house that you don’t use that has a ceiling fan.

2.Get either zip-ties, duct tape or rubber bands.

3.Take equally full bottles of eliquid and attach 1 bottle to 1 fan blade using one of the items from Step 2. Be sure to keep the weight on each fan blade equal!

  1. Be sure you turn off the ceilings lights but leave the actual fan on.

  2. Be sure the curtains are closed in the room. The darker the better!

  3. Turn ceiling fan on high and leave on at all times.

  4. Come back to room in 8-24 hours for SnV or 2 weeks later for the rest of your recipes.

But truth be told, I actually wanted to try this but the wife’s face turn strawberry red, veins started to become visible and I thought she may have a stroke. So I decided upon shaking my bottles in a suggestive manner while facing her. That too probably wasn’t the wisest choice either.

TL;DR Everyone commented what I was thinking.

Lmao, Idk man that might just separate the liquid more, like a gigantic juice centrifuge. Shakey shakey time it is.

That would absolutely separate the liquid more like a giant centrifuge.

You're just making a really shitty centrifuge, it'll cause your juices to separate, not mix, and it'll probably destroy your fan.

Right? What an idiot. He should do what I do. I just zip tie the trigger of my sawzall and tape my bottles to the blade. Since it runs 24/7 I never have to shake!

If that was her genuine response I recommend you get as far as possible from that powder keg. Life's to short to spend it with someone who doesn't enable you.

lol nah I was j/k. But she gets annoyed when I say “But babe I just need a few more flavors!”...

I give any juice a shake once in while if it’s been sitting.
