I started clamping my DIY e juice bottles to a jig saw to mix the liquid. I usually hold the button on the jigsaw for 20 seconds. After I notice the juice looks like a creamy white color. Using this method to shake the bottles. Is this good or bad? Am I shaking the bottles too much using the Jig saw?
Shaking DIY e juice too much?

I don't see any problem with it; especially for your initial shake. There is a limited amount of free oxygen (oxygen not already bonded to other molecules) in a capped bottle. When the bottle is nearly full it isn't much. I imagine, if you were to do it every time you used it, and opened the bottle each time between shakes (letting fresh air in, and aromatics out), you might accelerate oxidation and potential flavor loss. But otherwise I can't see how this could be very harmful.
I would say "shake away!"

I may emulate this I think it’s creamy because your bubbles are so smal. It does clear up eventually though doesn’t it?

I’m not worried if it’s safe or not. I’m worried about shaking it too much the flavor gets dull. I made a sour skittles patch and tasted really good. Then inused the jiigsaw to shake it a lot. After. I noticed the flavors dulled
The basic idea and reason for shaking is to create small bubbles throughout the mix. When the bubbles rise they create tiny eddy currents that help to mix the juice more completely. The question would be are more bubbles better? A foam is just smaller bubbles that congregate. Somewhere in between is probably where the best mixing occurs. If your saw is variable speed you might try the lower speed to mix without the foaming.
When I mix up a bottle of juice all the components are stratified in the order I added them. It only takes about 10 seconds of shaking to produce a mix that looks evenly distributed. I mix 50ml in a 60ml bottle to leave an air space for shaking.

I think I’m going to say away from using the saw to shake and just agitate it manually. Bubbles start to appear under a good 30!second shake.
