Do I shake while steeping?

[Youmadbrah]

Lots of e-liquid companies say "Shake well before use". So I was wondering ,if I am steeping for 1 or 2 weeks. Do I shake every couple of days ?

Also ,is steeping in the fridge better ,or in room temperature if we were in summer?

I give it a good shake right after mixing and then I leave it at room temperature for at least a few days. For a tobacco its at least a week sometimes more. I don't think repeated shaking is going to speed up the steeping if thats what you mean.

I thought some ingredients may sink down a little bit. Thats why I may need shaking. I don't really know.

No,,,Don't shake while steeping you could get a headache! lol just kidding!!! After mixing give a shake and then put the bottle in a cool DARK room for a few days and when your ready to test it then shake a little first and pop some drops on your atomizer. Some people shake there juices a lot but mostly your just getting muscles cause its more about molecules bonding then mixing...

You getting muscles yet Youmadbrah? Maybe I need to add this to my exercise routine.

Its not a precise technique . Ejuice is really going to steep on its own whether you want it to or not. The little tricks like leaving it open for a day or put in hot water are just to help speed up the steep time.

So instead of a dark room. Maybe a closed box ?

Shaking won't hurt and it may help the process. Steeping is like eating spaghetti the next day. Once the juices mix, it's better.

Do I shake while steeping?

I do, from anticipation! And yes, I also shake the steeping bottle a couple of times a day.

 

[Bostonsnboxers]

Me too...I shake it a couple times a day, or whenever I think about it. And no cool dark rooms for me. I steep in an east facing window sill. I think the gentle morning heat helps speed the process a bit. Could be my imagination too lol!

I run the bottle under warm water to thin it out when I first mix it I use a lot of VG and give it a good shake then I just set it in the pantry and let it sit until I'm ready to use I mix in advance so while one bottle is being use the other is steeping
