we know that our nicotine base needs to be thoroughly mixed before use. a method I came up with is to buy an empty one quart paint can from ace hardware, pour your base into it and have them spin it in their paint mixer... it worked great.

..and how sanitary is that can going to be??? Not to mention, is it even capable of being at least Food Grade (safe for food to be in..)?
Ha ha.... I wouldnt even think about it. If your going for rediculous, just Duct tape your plasic bottle to a saw-zall blade and let rip.
If you want to be really lazy, Heating it in a crock pot will let it mix itself, no stirring involved... ( 150 degrees for an hour or two.)

Ditto to the great thoughts of @SupplyDaddy and valid humor by Thunder!.
Respectfully, never!
IMHO, buy the highest quality NIC base available from a trusted and quality vendor. Choose the carrier (PG/VG) of your choice in the base. Cut with quality PG/VG following the same thoughts I have for the base. In all cases, quality trumps price for me. Cut and store in quality glass bottles with a Poly Cap. Shake vigorously the container from the vendor, shake the glass which has your cut base vigorously. Remove from storage as needed and shake vigorously before you use it. Like many here, I have a UC and have never used it with base and don't see the need.

Actually, the can is coated with an epoxy which when fully cured and not heated is food safe. Still storing my nic base in non BPA plastic container from the manufacturer.
I know a lot of people use a milk frother for the steeping process so I guess someone could use that and once fully mixed place into glass bottle and then shake as needed.
Thats what I use! I bought one on ebay for 4 or 5 bucks. Works great to mix nic base before DIY and mixing my juice once I make it! Great little device to throw in my kit.
I'm very low tech. A calypso dance CD and a strong grip on the bottle and it's a Beach party in the mixing room, mon! 
I assumed everybody else was using an Absolut bottle and shaking the daylights out of it. Paint mixers and calypso music - will the technological advancements please slow down so I can catch up?

Haha! That's similar to my method. I shake the holy heck out of my bottles while watching Netflix. It's how I justify time spent watching Trailer Park Boys, instead of washing dishes or doing laundry. Shaking e-juice is a productive activity, right?

I advise against mixing in any liquor bottles while watching Trailer Park Boys. Mr Lahey may just reach right out of the screen and guzzle it!
ok, now I have to go watch Trailer Park Boys. It's got to be better than Housewives of Orange County haha
Welcome to Comedy Central! Love it!
I can't post what the guy said to me in the paint department of Home Depot. LOL He was a DIY geek and thought I flew in from another planet. Kinda funny and then at the end I told him I was doing "field research" for my cult. He laughed. Then we talked shop and it was fun.
I saw another post in this thread so humor me while I try and help and wonder a little off topic. BTW, "steeping" to shorten the time a bottle of some juices (flavors + PG/VG + NIC) must sit before it reaches maturity (roughly 3 weeks give or take) is all about HEAT (150 degrees) and NOT, I repeat NOT agitation. In the context of "steeping" you can shake rattle and roll with a forklift or stir it all you want but that does zilch for shortening the time to maturity. The goal in this context is to shorten say 3 weeks to roughly 4 hours in your UC or crock pot. My buddy I think uses a rice cooker or some contraption which also works. And yes Mike, and a bunch of folks on ECF ran blind tests between a UC and crock pot to support the validity and it's in that other giant thread started by I think Bobalix.
Sure you shake a bottle of finished juice to eliminate settling, blend your mix, and to insure nothing has separated but that's not steeping. If you like the mix fresh and see no need to steep as I explained above, just shake the bottle or 50 gallon drum /lol vigoursly and your done. Finito!
Please return to Comedy Central. I'm enjoying it

Ha Ha! I use a wooden paint stick from home depot, rubber band the bottle to it and slap it against my palm. The bottle, that is Once the bubbles are all the way throughout the mix, let is sit till clear, those tiny bubbles rising to the surface also aid in mixing.

Vigorous shaking ensures that tiny air bubbles will reach as much of the mixture as possible, thus allowing the flavors to cure more efficiently.
