How important is shaking?

[anon4]

As in shaking base and concs before use? I find myself forgetting to do this, haven't noticed anything major but was wondering if some of my experiments were off because I didn't shake the concentrates? Or is that all bull?

Good question that.
Well liquid solutions made up of different ingredients are known to separate sometimes.
So it kind of makes sense to me to give concentrates a good shake up before use.
Medicines usually give advise to shake on the bottle I think.

I doubt it . . . . more likely insufficient steeping, ratios not quite right - or the flavours not to your tastes.

I've never remembered to shake bottles of flavouring generally, apart from Ecto Cooler and Afro as they do have the habit of separating - though it probably wouldn't hurt to get into the habit.

I generally shake juice a couple of times a week. Used to do it daily but IMO it doesn't make any difference.

Well I did say experiments... Just read something whilst crawling the internet about shaking your concs. So unless it's visibly bad probs alright but good etiquette if I remember right? Yes I have ecto cooler it's a bugger lol

Must admit, I know I forget to shake... concentrates nicotine, the lot! and I barely remember to shake my mixes or breathe them once mixed and steeping but it all turns out ok

Yeah give the bottles a shake before you use them, can't do any harm.  A lot of medicines have to be shaken because they contain a precipitate that separates and sinks to the bottom of the solution.

Yes I also shake my bottle of juice I'm using before I fill my atty.
Just a habit I have

I shake every bottle i pick up, not just vape related bottles - a habit that has had bad repercussions in the past

I was in  a lab once, talking to another guy and picked up a bottle and through habit started shaking it.  By the time that i realised that i didn't really want a million little bubbles in the liquid it was too late.  Only took 10 hours for it to settle again!

My dad told me that any more than three shakes was called something else
