Don’t over think this. Shaking for 30 seconds or so works just fine. Store it away and give a shake once in a while as it steeps.

I understand Summer steeping in the trunk of a Black Car.
But is it necessary to do the steeping in a Toyota trunk?
I am a Ford man and want to give this a try in my Focus

I did this “mag mixers” and this “ultrasonic cleaners” and this “frothers” AND THIS “strap the bottle to a sawsall” ( well it was a battery drill… with the bottle tied with a cable tie 
)
and NOW I’m onto this:
and then I thvow them to the floor! (Monty Python had a bad influence on me…) or I follow too much @anon44012888 
your choice!

I didn’t know that. O/T, but we need a vaping musicians section.

I started a topic a while ago, not a section, but it’s a start! Kind of fizzled out, but you’ll find some ELR musicians in here.
And let’s try not derail this topic any farther

If you shake and vape, make sure your bottle is homogenous. The fuller the bottle is, the more difficult / more time it requires to mix everything up properly. Make sure all those tiny bubbles are distributed evenly and you don’t have any sides with clearer liquid… or you might get some hot spots and instant nicotine high.
Otherwise, that 30s should be good and the weeks or months that it’s steeping will do the rest.
Shake again after a steep / before vaping.
I don’t shake before each use, although some would recommend this. It introduces air bubbles throughout the liquid which can increase deterioration of your nicotine. Only if it’s been sitting still for a long while.

Oooorah @Plunderdrum.
Every time I try and speed things (don’t have a mag) with a wisker/frother it just over aereates my mix, and mutes it. Even with 500ml’s I just shake it, and let it sit.

We kind of have an advantage to shaking things! If you can play an upbeat blues shuffle for 5-10 minutes, you’ve got shakin-stamina! Haha!

Very true. Any time I take a break from drumming, I never stop training. Gotta stay in shake shape.

I didn’t start out using the hand mixers and literally notice no muting since starting to use them. As a matter of fact I’ve had to go lower with many of percentages. I don’t think that has anything to do with the mixers either. I think we all pretty much end at the same place regardless of how we got there.
