I've stayed away from this kind of stuff while DIYing juice. My recent order I was doing quickly and ordered some liquids that definitely contain lemon and lime oil, two ingredients I've tried to stay away from while DIYing. The whole vaping natural oils never really sat right with me. My 30ml bottle of lemonade even after steeping for two days on my stereo still has 1/2" of separated, much lower viscosity liquid at the top after sitting for 10 mins.

These are definitely safe to vape, right? Maybe I'm just being overly paranoid.

Maybe some xantham gum will emulsify it They sell it at natural food markets and food coops. I think a pinch in a 30ml bottle might do the trick.
not a DIYer myself, so I have a question.do you cook the juices, process them, or measure it out and shake it up? Oils tend to bind other ingredients when heated and/or whisked aggressively(like in a food processor). I would start by combining the other ingredients, then slowly add the oil while the food processor is running.
I don't think it would hurt to vape it the way it is, as long as you shake it up before you drip, fill your attie/clearo/carto. I shake bottled h20 before I drink it. I swear it mixes it better and makes it taste better :glug:

Hm, never considered the xantham gum idea. Usually when I make juices I just add ingredients and shake, unless it's a combination that likes to fall out of suspension such as oils with VG. Then I'll heat and stir or shake vigorously and it usually helps greatly. Just heating the juice I got the other day allowed it to take up about 1/4 of the oil that was sitting on top, and the VG underneath went from clear to opaque.

I don't think it would hurt to vape it either, but it's not really settling to see the bottle not be an even mixture..
