Shaking liquid?

[RyGuy]

I just got to the end of my Summer Peach sample bottle of Johnson Creek and Holy Cow! Can you say Peach? It tastes just like a real freakin peach. The rest of the bottle didn't have nearly this much flavor. It's almost as if all of the flavor settled to the bottom of the bottle. Are you supposed to shake the liquid before refilling?

I always give mine a flip or two b4 reloading.

Of course juice must be shaken (or stirred if you prefer).

PG/VG, nicotine and flavoring could become separated because of different densities.

One of the good examples: Italian dressing is based on olive oil and vinegar and after being on the shelf for a while you can easily notice that it consists of two liquids.

 

[doots]

yes you should shake it before filling..

 

[RyGuy]

Thanks everyone for the confirmation. Kinda makes me wish they put more flavoring in the juice because right now it is creating more vapor than ever before, has awesome throat hit and the flavor is soooo freakin good.

Dang, learned something new today. I've never done that. I guess I always worried that arreating the mixture allows more oxygen to the nic which can lead to degredation. But I've probably been overthinking it. I think I'll give my bottles a little shake now and then.

Same here! going to do some tea bags and refill my carts tomorrow will have to shake before the refill see if I can taste a difference. Thanks guys!

Shaken not stirred

I've always shaken my e-juice before using it. I guess I'm glad I do.

Although to be fair, I have a habit of shaking ALL liquids before using unless it is carbonated (pop or beer). I shake tea, juice (apple, orange), milk, everything.

 

[catlvr]

I'm a shaker too! When I first started I read somewhere here that is was a good idea to shake your juice and I've been doing it ever since. Makes sense to me.

 

[Porphy]

Make sure to shake when it gets delivered too. I get my juices from the states and when they get here the vg/pg is usually separated from the rest of the liquid, possibly from the flight over I'm not sure. At any rate one good thrashing and it's reconstituted and ready to vape.

Not sure why I didn't think to do this before, but wow, thanks for mentioning it!

 

[jambo]

This is a great tip. Wouldn't have thought of shaking the bottle first now I will

 

[ProfessorDaffy]

Yes, always shake. Especially if you're cutting your liquid with PG or VG (or both in my case). That's why a lot of DIYers find their flavor getting weaker over time.

unless it is carbonated (pop or beer).

I actually always shake my soda (pop) or, if it's in a glass, stir it.
I like my soda flat.

 

[residualgenius]

If you make diy liquid you can actually see the separation because of the different weights of the liquids.
