I steer clear of tobaccos in my DIY, and most things are "good enough" right after mixing. A bit of steeping never hurts, but I'm an impatient fellow and anything that needs a 4 week steep isn't in my line-up.
How *NOT* to steep your e-juice

I might not be envisioning your setup properly, but if what I imagined is accurate, you've actually created an antimixer, not a mixer! By spinning it, are you getting more of a centrifuge effect? Thereby using an artificial gravity effect to separate the elements in the bottle? Basically a similar result to the centrifuges they use on blood samples to layer the components... the heaviest stuff pushes to the outside of the arc.... the same way the "Gravitron" at the exhibition makes you "stick" to the wall as it spins.
I'm curious about the jewelry cleaner though. I happen to have a little old one and might have to pull it out to try it.
I understand what your saying, maybe your not envisioning it.
after the bottle is SECURELY hooked on the wire, the wire can be bent so that the bottle itself spins vertically on its axis.
If you get it right, the liquid will spin like a cyclone in the bottle.
The first time i did it, what you described happened, and i thought to myself "well, that is counter productive...."
Ah! Yes, I had it all wrong in my mind's eye. But I still wonder if the cyclone pushes heavier molecules to the outside of the cyclone? Perhaps not.... the container is quite small, so perhaps the spinning gives more the effect of a blender than a centrifuge.... anyway, it's a very resourceful idea
More rocket science. That'll learn ya Buzz.
The proper automated technique is as follows:
1. Find and empty paint can you know the 4 litre one (that's a gallon for ya'll)
2. Place the juices that require seriously automated mixing in the can. Just in case: leave the juice in the little bottles they came in with the child proof cap securely tightened.
3. Close the paint can with the lid that the paint can came with (can't be too precise here). A helpful tip if you haven't done this before. A used paint can is always better where the residual paint has dried. At least a year's drying is good. Wet paint in the can will obscure the labelling on your juice bottles and you won't know what the hell your vaping.
4. Go to your local Home Depot with the empty paint can (with the juice bottles in it - just checking)
5. Go to the paint department and ask them to put your can in the paint can mixer, shaker, uper thingy. Now this is where the dried residual paint comes in handy. Just imagine if you were to use a pristine can with no dried paint the noise would be atrocious (thank you spell check) and scare the begeez out of the clerk. Now with the year old residual paint coating the noise is deadened to a drum roll instead of a Monday morning in Afganistan. As result instead of being tossed out of the HD you are simply not allowed to return.
Projectguy, are we to assume this is experience talking and you now do your hardware shopping at Rona? lol
But more importantly, how'd the juices taste?

Experience is a painful teacher......... enough said
It's been on my mind for a while that a rock tumbler might make a good liquids mixer - modified of course. Just a small motor attached to one roller, put another roller next to it and drop the bottle in the gap. If everything worked properly, it would just sit there and gently spin (hopefully without the cap unscrewing). Over the course of time, a bit of friction heat should occur which would be good... Well, that's the basic idea but of course things could go horribly wrong - I find that most of my ideas come with that addition.
Guys. Guys...
I just had a great idea guys...
How about, instead of a paint mixer and a coat hanger and microwave and a rock tumblr, how about...
This is going to blow your mind, guys...
How about, we take the bottle, and we put it in the closet, and we wait
I know it sounds crazy, but it just might work.

how about, we just vape the juice!
Unless its DIY you really shouldnt have to steep... well not in my mind anyways.

Whaaaat? That requires patience. Something I have plenty of for some things, but none for juice I'm dyng to try! All about instant gratification here, baybeee!
Tried the ultrasonic jewelry cleaner with 7 bottles for 40 mins.... the juice came out pleasantly warm and thinner than it went in.... intriguing! Later, I'm prepping up a drip atty to do the taste testing....

And..............
What about putting the bottles in the dryer when doing your clothes?
You have heat and mixing at the same time. It should work but I just worry if one of the lids came off or a bottle started leaking.

Not a good idea. The heat from a dryer would melt an LDPE or PET bottle, and I doubt you want to put a glass bottle in a tumble dryer for obvious reasons.
Aaaaannnnd..... I'm not sure lol. I think I gave myself taste overload. Plus they were new flavors so not all of them I'm wild about. I actually think some of them tasted a bit fuller? stronger? than the last time I sampled.... others, no discernable difference. I think I want to try doing it with a juice I know well next time so I can really discern if there's a noticeable difference.
Yah, BrianCig... lick it...... c'mon, lick it!! you know you wanna!
