Final Steps for DIY Mixing???

[AngryCagen]

I wanted to ask some of the veterans out there when I finish making my e liquid, what steps do I take as far as actually mixing it. I saw a couple videos where people use a drill with either a Q Tip cut into a mixing device and I have even seem Big Lou use kanthal to whip it up really good. So after I finish my e liquid, should I follow those same steps for about 4 days or so with whipping and then let breathe and cap and put in a dark place and then after that I can do the same process maybe every other day for a couple weeks or until color and/or flavor comes to a taste I am achieving?

All tips are greatly appreciated.

I just shake mine after mixing and before vaping ... seems to work well

Shake, hot water bath (a few times), put away on a shelf in the cabinet for a week.
Vanillas, Chocolates, Custards, and Tobaccos usually take more than 1 week tho.

Mix, shake or stir, taste then Steep if required would be the logical steps. read my blog on steeping. No need to ever whip a mix. That just adds to much air to a mix which oxidizes NIC to quickly.

Read my blogs before getting started

E-Cigarette Forum - dannyv45 - Blogs

then read hoosier's blogs.

then read the stickies at the top of the page.

this will explain a lot of the how's and why's.

thanks danny. I have read all your work and I have read Hoosier's as well. I have actually made a DIY bible where I have printed out all of your post on DIY as well as Hoosier's. I actually remember something I read and I could not remember what part it was in, but its actually in my DIY bible already. There is so much stuff I have read between Hoosier and yourself, I can't imagine not knowing the information you guys have passed along to us. So thank you again so much for all your help. I finished up my bottle and she is actually taking a bath right now. She looks pretty sexy with that fair skin just waiting to catch a tan....lol

Anyway, thanks again and I look forward to reading more and learning more from you. My next venture will be making a tobacco flavor that has a lot of sweetness to it. Kind of like the Virus from Nicoticket. That has to be one of my favorite tobacco flavors beside a 2 month steeped Dorky Stud.

Talk atcha later.

I make mine up in big batches and just put them in my steeping box. I keep them in order of the date I make them. So when my choices on my vape shelf run low I just grab a few bottles out of the box. They usually stay in there a month before I get to them. I usually mix every other weekend or if Im bored.

When I mix I find it most important to mix the flavors first prior to adding base/nicotine, for about a minute. I then add the base/nicotine and shake it vigorously for a minute. I check it to see if there is a nice amount of bubbles distributed in the bottle, if so I let it rest, and then I just shake it for a minute any time I think about it for the first few days. This has worked perfect for me.

I make my mixes in the bottle (10, 15, 30 or 50ml bottles). Shake them up real good, then put them in my juice drawer. I also create a label that includes some information about the mix and the date I created it. That way I know how long it has been aging.....

What kind of labels and label software you use? I like the look of those.

I make it and vape it

I only follow instructions as a last resort ...it really isn't rocket science...eruh unless you wish it to be so...

just be careful you don't go off the steep end... or you may degrade your mind

thanks for the tips, yeah I am a CAD Designer so I have made some pretty cool labels for my bottles. I wasn't putting the born on date before, but I am now, great tip. btw, where do you get your bottles and are they childproof?
