Great use for a milk frother?

[kailey]

I came across this great video the other day and loved his use of a milk frother in DIY mixing:

Lordy's Ultimate DIY eLiquid mixing guide - Beginner to advanced

I now can't wait to get a milk frother so I can try it. 

Anyone else tried it?

Great idea

You can press the steeping link on the vid to get to the bit with the milk frother faster.

Haven't tried it, but seems like a low cost thing to try and I can see how and why it would work

Yep, it is a comprehensive video so it is probably best to fast forward to about 31:50 for the milk frother bit.

It does seem very logical. Looking forward to testing out the theory.

The milk frother is basically doing the same as an ultrasonic cleaner.

You can get really expensive ultrasonic mixing tools which are used in labs which I was looking into for steeping juices as I knew it would be better than an ultrasonic cleaner after watching some product demonstration videos of powdered carbon been mixed with water.
At 1st, it simply floated on top, then the mixer was inserted and turned on which the final result was totally black water.

I might get one of them milk frothers and use it with a hammer drill which should have a much better and more instantaneous result.

Frothing works! I had a one day old mix which I split into two, frothed half of it, left the other half to steep normally, and waited three days. The frothed mix was nicely blended and quite vapable while the unfrothed mix was still raw and unpleasant. I can't see any reason not to use a frother for testing new mixes or just knocking up 10ml of something.

pyr0 and andy01424, thanks for finding them. A milk frother looks cheap enough to experiment with.

chrisss, thanks for sharing your experience. It's an ingenious idea.

@chillervapes not sure if a drill and I would get on. I think I can just about handle a frother but not sure about anything more for my 10ml of juice. I wonder what the commercial juice makers use or whether they just let time do its magic.

to be honest its basically agitating the liquid to blend it,thats all ultra sonic does is agitate water molecules ie vibrate,yes you could probably chop one in half do same thing!

would imagine depends on turn over i would guess there blended[ mixed] or you would need a large ultrasonic bath to put them in but with resale on a 10ml it would cover cost pretty quick so may well be that way also,plus i think flavour vg/pg ratio is done premix ,nic added later to strength required,

I've already tried steeping on a fast spin on my washing machine and also in the dryer lol.

I think I might have posted about my wacky steeping ideas... ill see if I can find them.

Radiator Steeping...

My idea for this is, the heat thins the liquids and also forces the molecules to move faster which makes them mix without any movement.
From doing this over winter, I have to say, it works quite impressively.

Wand steeping and explanation and that video... this is the way forward!
