Rolling your e-juice

[Agastar]

Anyone here roll the e-juice to mix it up? What I'm thinking is having a little unit that I can place the bottle on after I make a new batch that gently rotates the bottle and let that run overnight.

Thoughts?

Makes me envision a 7-11 hotdog cooker with a bunch of bottles slowly spinning.

Heat and vigorous shaking would be much more efficient. I don't think rolling would agitate the juice much at all. It's too vicsous.

I do shake them up first but then they just sit on the shelf. I'm thinking the bubble in there would keep things moving plus if you did it over night they might help too. Heck, I guess it's worth a try lol

I have put a plastic bottle in an old rock tumbler I had on hand. It pretty much "slow rolled " it.

I also tried an old Bullet shell casing tumbler. It vibrates.

I have read in these forums of some that bought regular vibrators and taped the bottle to the end of it.

Funny.... the things people do.

HAHAHAHAH^

A lot of people use ultrasonic jewelry cleaners to mix their juices. I think this would be the best method by far.

I have heard of this as well... it would be a sight to behold...

Maybe if your going on a long trip you could put your plastic bottles inside a hubcap on your car......

IMHO... A hot bath and time is the best way to Age your juice. I vape mostly fruit mixes. No real Aging necessary. ( I dont like the word Steep)

I have a vibratory tumbler for cleaning brass cases but never though about trying that. I was thinking about the rock tumbler like my dad used to polish rocks with.

I bought and use a battery powered mini mixer for DIY. I use it when I first make a batch in a beaker, so the Nic/PG/VG/Flavs are evenly mixed before the batch ever goes in a bottle. It has four attachments, including one that fits through the neck of any bottle to quickly mix/turn over the liquid thoroughly right in the bottles anytime during steeping, etc. Great for my 5ml to 100ml bottles, glass or plastic. It's worth every penny of the $8 it cost. (runs on 2 AA batteries).

Well IMHO for small batches any kind of heavy duty or long mixing is not necessary; < 60ml or below, now then if your mixing up a gallon at a time, there are blending mixers similar to commercial paint mixers that will agitate a container at "X" number a times a minute.

That being said this is for commercial candy mixing, etc., and the cost is ridiculous for home use, after all these elements will blend:

PG
VG
Flavors : Various chemicals and extracts already suspended in PGA, PG, H20, etc.
PGA

All of the above blend rather well and with little or no vigorous agitation...

Here is an example of a "food cutter" or blending bench



Gives "Roll your Own" a whole new meaning!

Now this is more for mixing semi-solids, however for $2,600.00 I can shake a whole lot!
