i thought 0.5% was your regular percentage.. your gonna mix menthol with DRY4?

It is my percentage, but the last 30ml was too strong, for some reason. I must have screwed up somehow. I'm going to dilute it further. I'm gonna try all the tobaccos with Menthol, eventually. I have to have the tobacco right first.

what about using a rotisserie motor for a grill. (low speed) Rig up something to hold the bottles so that the bottom of the bottles are perpendicular to the rotisserie bar. This will cause the juice to tumble bottom to top. If you just rubber band them to the side, the liquid will just slowly roll in the bottle.
Just an idea.

but seriously.. what if i did make the drill mod.. and then turn it upside down while it spins.. then turn it back up.. then upside down again.. same thing isnt it?

I honestly think it would work. If mixing is really the only way, then one could simply add some sterile stainless steel ball bearings into the bottle, and rather than a steady long spin, take it at shorter 3-5 second spins. My thought is the bearings will agitate the liquid more so than without. But, I do not have a drill to test it. The pain might be getting the bearings back out :D

Yes indeed there is! Why don't we argue about it, Levitas? LOL That's why an imported windmill from Holland would work!

I suppose we could :D We might get berated.

i have to see if i can borrow a drill.. because this could work... and if not then what?... another broken .55 cent bottle.. a little juice spillage ?? (actually if you think about it .. this would cause a big mess if the bottle breaks somehow,, lol) its worth a try.

Well, you don't necessarily have to hold the cap while activating the drill. If it's in the chuck good enough, I don't see really any potential of it exploding, unless, it escapes the chuck, and flies across the room :D

I think another key to this method is to have a chuck that is deep enough to encompass half, or more of the bottle's length. This would further ensure that the bottle doesn't escape, lol.



I should note: These unconventional methods that I might offer aren't to replace something say like the Sonic Jewelry Cleaner. They're just ideas for people who wish to have a quicker mix time, but are on a budget (thus why I mention items that may already be owned).

I have the drill and have actually thought I could make a pretty simple thing with concentric circles that I could use to shake the bottle. But honestly I'm not as motivated as everyone around here seems to be. I'm content to steep a few days with periodic shakes.

It's funny hearing this budget minded conversation, seems we're in the dark corner where the folks who spend too much money on someone elses mods don't ever peak in.

Anyway, here's a $30 ultrasonic cleaner Harbor freight is a wonderful place.

So, you put the bottle in a sock? Just one sock, or many? Any concerns with the plastic melting on the bottles?

Naw...whatever fits....1 bottle or 10....
The socks keep the bottles from getting beat up...and if one fails and you get a leak...its in a sock:D
I have.mo idea if this method is viable...just makes me feel like I'm trying..:toast:...

Years from now we will probably find out that this causes cancer...but its what I do...
 
I stuck mine to the bottom of my baby's bouncer seat he can't reach the bottles even if they were to fall out and the caps just snap right in like they were made for it lol. So they get the shaking and the shade and I do none of the work... He just bounces blissfully like always while my e juice steeps away :) I use the 15ml bottles from mtbakervapor I guess this only works if you have babies or if you are a foot bouncer you could do it too:)

Of all the ways you could shake it, you pick the weirdest one. :vapor:
