sharing my first diy ejuice shaker

[1lasttime]

My wife pointed out the "opinions on shaking" thread and a person had made a shaker from am old computer fan.
Loving messing around with electronics this is what I came up with.

I had a dinosaur computer just sitting in the closet. I took out the fan and went to work. I found a Jewelery box that my daughter was throwing out so I took it and gave it a spray painting and and started to work on it. I went and bought 4 springs and took off the lid placed it upside down attaching it to the springs. This gives it a bi-level. 5ml-30ml will slide into the bottom. I gave air holes for the fan to "breath". I used an old plug that I just had stashed away with my wires for the power supply, and an on/off switch. this is my first time doing something like this! Thanks to the person in the thread mentioned above.

the fan with nut glued off center in the drawer that is now sealed shut.

the switch located on the back.

Could you explain a little further please? Where do you put the bottle? How is the shaking action applied to the bottle? All I see is a fan laid flat in a box with a nut glued - where on the fan? I'm assuming the blade. It looks like the four springs lift the lid above the box and in doing so - what? All I can figure is that the fan motion with the off-center nut shakes the box thus causing the springs and lid to shake. Do you just put the bottle on the lid loose and that's it?

Maybe I'm completely wrong. So call me stupid and please explain further to the dunce in the corner.

Not gonna call you stupid lol-
Yes, the fan is screwed into the bottom drawer. The nut is glued off-center in the middle, and this creates the shaking (if I set it on a table unattended it will shake itself off into the floor!)

The springs lifted the lid to have more space to be able to add more bottles than just in the box it's self the also help provide vibration to the upper part rather than have pieces of wood hold it up.

It sit stationary when sat on a carpeted floor. (Work in progress. Lol! I'm not an expert)
It provide vibration while steeping the ejuice further mixing it while I work on my next bottle.

You do just place the bottle in the lid and let it go.

Thanks for clearing that up. Think I'll give it a go.

You do realize that Chinese manufacturers already read this post and their new shake 'n Vape will be shipping by the end of the week.

Any relation to a certain Mr. McGyver?

Kudos to you sir. I have to say we are a resilient group of people

No, relation to McGyver, but as a child I did watch it quite a bit! May that counts? Lol!
Thanks for the kudos!

My solution is a little different. I tie the bottle to my cat and whip out the laser pointer.

Poor man's ultrasonic?

Poor man's ultrasonic?

Pretty much, only cost me maybe a couple bucks to make since most of it I already had.

Not trying to steal your thunder but I dealt with this too and came up with something a little different that works and I've thought about posting.



Cost is about 35 bucks. It's an electric knife, with a tupperware type container and a snap on lid, duct-taped excessively. Works fantastic for shaking juice.

If you need to shake glass bottle though, wrap them in paper towels first, there's a lot of bouncing that happens and I'm certain it'll chip up glass bottles quickly if they bang together.

I bought a ajustable clamp from harbor freight http://www.harborfreight.com/4-inch-ratchet-bar-clamp-spreader-46805.html hooked it up to a standard jigsaw, and shake away

See, who needs to spend 300 bucks on ultra sonic shakers when there is innovation like all of these!!! Great minds!!!!

What I'd love to see is how it's hooked to the jigsaw. Great pics. Thank you!

I had to grind down the shaft a bit to fit the jigsaw chuck
