Y u separate VG?

[davetherayon]

Sorry for the txtspk, but it's a badly formed meme. Anyway, when mixing with high-VG recipes, they always settle out into a nicely coloured layer, and stubborn gloop of pale presumably VG at the bottom. Shaking them as often as remembered (every other day or so) doesn't get rid of the layer of VG every time, for the first few weeks anyway. How does the chemistry work? Will the VG surrender to the forces of the Rest of Juice and assimilate into the newly formed Vape Nation of 30ML Bottle? Is it time to vape when the VG finally lays down arms and merges with the Nation of Otheringredients?

TBH, that's not something I have ever encountered Dave. I do always dilute my VG with approx 10% vodka, so that may make a difference?

[spanky]

I make 100% VG juices, but the flavourings are almost always PG. I just shake the shit out of it. It doesn't separate afterwards.

I make up an unflavoured 200ml bottle, and I know what Dave means, its evil trying to mix vg into the nicotine suspended in pg and additional pg --- I've an arm like Popeye from making a bottle up today!

[Perpetua]

I only use high VG . . . don't dilute and I never get that Dave!

Summat wrong with your shaking technique maybe? 

[Pepperty]

aye, maybe you haven't got the wrist action down to a fine art - like the rest of us davetherayon ???

[davetherayon]

Clearly I need to practice my wrist action. Off to some *cough* art model sites for a bit.

when you get to my age - the cramp sets in....................chronically swiftly. I struggled to do a decent shake of my bottle today <<<no that wasn't a euphemism honestly!>>

I use a dremel type drill to mix mine with, using a split cotton bud end as a paddle/propellor. Really gets it mixed and foamy in seconds. Also a great starter for steeping commercial liquids.

[Pepperty]

that's rather genius sydsut

[sydsut]

Actually I nicked the idea from a youtube vid but the guy used a standard power drill, dremel was my contribution as 18,000 rpm.

Timed to perfection. Yesterday I ordered one of those £10 Dremel clones from Maplin.

I'll let the glass stirring rods know they can retire.

Me too... now I know what I can use it for! 

[davetherayon]

That's very ingenious! I was one of the afficionados of using a wobbly water tank (TM) aka sonic cleanser before putting new mixes into the hot water tank cupboard till a few months ago. Read somewhere 'it doesn't make any diff' so quit that... maybe it's time to get WWT (TM) out of retirement?

Absolutely BRILLIANT idea, deserves a suitable title sydsut the inventor maybe
