Oh the disappointment 
Thanks for the cool feedback you already provided us with though.

Very interesting comments. Very much appreciate your time and this was a very good explanation and more of what I was hoping for just based on the number and scope of your product reviews that i have enjoyed reading and watching. I, as you stated have more questions than answers and will continue to research these methods. Thanks again, very much appreciate it!

I paid $39.99 last dec . Worth every penny I spent . Mixed 500ml of blackberry pina colda last night . Hasnāt ever given me any problems

The point is, I am an engineer. I donāt want to spend 5 seconds shaking a bottle everytime. I want to spend 50 hours building something that does it for me and requires 2 minutes maintenance every 20 bottles 
Also I just want to play with ultrasonic homogenisation because I find it pretty great.

Now this makes sense. I thought you were just deranged 
Bingo! Letās see what happens ifā¦
Iām going to try something nuts. Turn this on itās head.
- Add ingredients leaving 10 ml headspace in the bottle.
- 1/2 hr mag stir low speed. Pre blend
- 1 min homogenize. Blend
- 1/2 hr ultrasound recover
- 3 hr souse vide @ 40c. Steep with heat.
If it turns out to be drano I loose five bucks. Iāll whine about that in another thread.

Nah, i want a process that is supposed to take less time, not more 
Thinking of a small RC plane brushless inrunner around 20w at 35-40k rpm and a smooth shaft. I can probably grind a larger shaft to replace the original motor shaft, it should run off a modest 1 cell lithium battery and ESC are pretty cheap. Just need a pwm generator and I am sorted.

Post results. I get the theory. The homo probe is overkill as there is no tissue to grind.

Engineering Change Order #1:
I happened to use some Loraine peach in this latest mix and I added it last. It is orange. I discovered that my mag mixer will not address the top inch and a half of liquid in a boston round bottle. Now using 125ml beaker and the stirrer is addressing all of the liquid. OoooPs! Using purely clear ingredients I would have never noted this problem. Found, one each PMI unknown, unknown. Regards, Dr. Harold Kerzner.

The centre drop should nearly reach the mixing bar, ensuring top mixing. Are you running too slow?

Nope, Thatās just all the unit has to provide. I use rare earth magnets as well so I get a good bond. All good regardless, A sandwich bag and a rubber band to seal the top and the beaker works just fine.

The overall test will be complete by this evening. Had itās one minute of homogenization and its enjoying a bath in the ultra sonic. Iāll pop it in the Souse Vide before I leave for work and see if I get great juice or draino at the end of the day.

Holy flavor VapeMan! Iāll be cuttin back on my percentages next batch. Woah, itās all there all rightā¦

Really? Is it that good?
Itās that much of an improvement over the process I was using. Iām seriously amazed at the improvement. On the grand scale of goodness, I have no idea. Edit: oh ya, and itās only a sampling of one. As soon as I vape up some more juices Iāll do it again for sure.

I noticed the same problem previously. Tried several different stir bars but still had the issue. Switched to beakers for even small batches.
Keep us posted!
You bet! While Iām very excited, folks need to understand that this is a huge improvement over what I have been doing to present. My last process was as follows:
Add ingredients.
Heat Souse Vide 30 minutes @ 40C (concept to lesson viscosity differential)
Homogenize 1 minute
Mag stir 1/2 hr (note, I had not realized it was not addressing the top 1/4 of the liquid at this point)
Ultra Sound 1/2 hour.
Previous to that:
Add ingredients
Mag stirr 1/2 hr
Ultra Sound 1/2 hr.
Each change has brought improvement. The latest process seeming to be by far the best.

Could you get the same or near the same results without the homogenizer and USC? Perhaps a longer stir time with a controlled amount of heat?
1 Like
I like the USC if for no other reason to dissipate any suspended off gassing. The homogenizer appears to further the dispersion of liquid as after mag stirring I can still see some traces of different viscosity flowing in the mix. I may still try removing those two portions of the process at some point. At present I am more interested in trying the new process on multiple recipes.

Would it be be possible to insert the homogenizer probe into a beaker on the mag stirrer (size)?
