Does anyone do that with your tank or clearo if it's been sitting awhile with juice in it?

Define awhile? I know the wicks in top fed tanks can dry out if they are not saturated with eliquid on a regular basis (I would keep those upside down when not on a battery).

Well, I have five Nautilus' and I use one a day. The rest sit filled until I get to them...

Thanks for taking the time to respond.

It's just that I know we shake our bottles to get a good mixture presumably to offset any settling of ingredients. Given the fact my Nautilus' can sit for quite some time filled with juice, I was wondering if anyone else thought shaking of clearos or tanks was necessary for the same reason...

I've given thought to the same question, and what I decided was that I shake my bottle for the bottle and not the tank. If there is settling in the bottle and I pour out more of one ingredient into a tank, I don't so much worry about the 3ML in my tank that I'll burn through today, but the other 25 ml or whatever amount I'm pouring from. A long time for a bottle of juice to sit might be a year, while for a lot of us we are talking a week or two usually as what we define as sitting for "a while". The "a while" part is what's subjective.

For the tanks, I don't so much shake them as if to incorporate the air bubbles into the liquid, but I kind of roll them end to end so the liquids blend around a bit if there is settling. Then there's also the bouncing around in the vehicle it does on the way to work, and being in my pocket, vaped, etc...

I do find myself shaking tanks without a window, like my Russian 91%, after a dry hit as if to hear if there's liquid in it. I've never heard the liquid and doubt I ever will but I still do it most of the time when the tanks dry just out of habit.
