How long before juice separates?

Most of us know to shake our bottle of juice before filling our topper. But what about toppers that sit around for a while? My biggest are 3.5ml and I probably put 3 in on a fill or refill. Some devices are now 5 to 10ml. I can't imagine emptying one of those in a day. I normally have four flavors loaded and switch around during the day. I probably vape around 5ml a day. I started short filling my toppers with 1.5-2ml so that I use most of it by the end of the day and refill with fresh shaken.

Just wondering what other people think about this.

I shake my toppers and find that it improves the flavor. I always have at least 10 toppers filled with different flavors and shake them as they come into their vape rotation every morning. I started doing it when I discovered that my juice wasn't tasting as good in the morning as it it did the night before. I finally figured out that the juice was settling while sitting upright overnight. A good shake in the morning brings the flavors right back to life.

PS: all of my toppers are bottom coil.

Hmm, I only shake my juice once - vigorously for 30 seconds after mixing! Then I let physics do the rest of the work.

Occasionally I'll notice with big batches that the top, near the air in the bottle, oxidizes and changes color more quickly than the bottom. I attribute this to the air near the surface, not to everything un-mixing itself.

But it's visually obvious with fresh, un-shaken juice when the flavor and VG is not thoroughly mixed, and I've never seen anything remotely like that after giving it the ol' shake, so I just let everything sit.

Maybe I'm doing it wrong, but it's worked so far :)

Tanks that have set for more than a day, always get a shake.
I bought some Hurricane juice about a year ago. As with most of the 'puppy in the window' juices I buy, it was great the first day or so then lost some of it's luster. So, i set it aside for a few days. The next time I grabbed the tank the juice had separated. This was the first and only juice that I've seen a juice do this. But just to be sure I give 'em a good rattlin' before firin' up.
