You don't even need to do it this minute as long as you remember to warm and shake upon first use. They'll stay fine in the freezer just the way they are. Just remember to warm, shake and test what you've already poured for use now chances are there already properly mixed but I do advise testing.

I purchased 2 1000ml bottles of 36mg nicotine in VG from RTS Vapes with the intention of breaking it down into 8oz amber glass bottles for storing in the freezer. The nicotine and the bottles both came yesterday, so I immediately set to rebottling the nic base into the bottles and put all but 2 oz of it in the freezer. So far so good. This morning I got to wondering and now worrying. I didn't shake the nicotine base before transferring it. Should I have? Would the nicotine have been fully incorporated into the VG when I received it, or would it have settled, or not even been fully mixed by RTS when then shipped it?

I'm feeling the urge to warm everything up and dump it in a bowl and make sure it's thoroughly mixed before rebottling it. Should I, or am I okay just leaving it?

I'm a complete noob at DIY, but my husband has very simple tastes when it comes to what he vapes. He likes cherry, and only cherry, he uses 36mg liquid, and he can only use VG as he has an allergy to PG. This seemed like it was going to be a fairly straightforward undertaking when I first started thinking DIY for him. Now I'm not so sure. I don't want to harm him, quite the opposite!

This question has been asked many times through out the forum. Actually it was asked in the RTS thread as well. There is no need to shake the bottle. The nicotine will not separate from the VG/PG after it has been mixed. That has always been the answer from people that are in the know. You are fine :)

No need to shake our nicotine. PG Nic mixed for 1.5 hours and VG nic mixed for 1.5 hours on one side and 1.5 hours on the other side. We have no hot spots. We use (16) very expensive pharmaceutical grade orbital mixers with 7,000 ml per mixer.

I have tried shaking bottles of VG base and could see no visible effects such as the bubbles you mention Wings.
Again, as thick as 100% VG tends to be it's hard to see where any separation of the constituent ingredients could even occur in the first place.

Oh and, Thanks for an adult response Wings.

You didn't shake hard enough, bro. I know you can do it, just set aside a few minutes and give it everything you got!

Bro!!!! That's so 80's:) Brute force shaking may work but there have been a few other good suggestions that will make things a bit easier.

Thanks for taking the time to find that quote Salem. :)

I tried searching for something along those lines last night, and of course wasn't able to find it. I just did another search today and found some answers from Kurt on the subject as well. I guess my google skills have improved overnight. I'll probably still test a few bottles since I already bought the kit, but at least I'm feeling more easy now.
