Handy dandy little mixer

[bobby00]

I fund this and bought it, it fits in a 10ml bottle and mixes it up a treat better than any shaking.
also got other attachments for big batches its great 2 double A batteries and you can rock the Casbah

I would put a picture up but don't know how lol

I don't use milk frothers etc... but here is a cautionary tale for those that do:

"When I bought my first wave of DIY supplies, about 7 months ago, you bet a milk frother was one of the things I considered essential.
I liked knowing my mixes were fully emulsified.

However, I noticed a lot of people raving about the flavor of some very subtle recipes that were just way too muted for my tastes. I assumed my olfactory sense was still healing, and I just needed bigger flavors.

Then I mixed up two test batches of a juice that I considered "too light". One I whipped up with a milk frother, the other one I mixed, capped & shook the living daylights out of.

I let them both steep the same amount of time, and then I filled two clean tanks with each version when they were ready. The difference was night and day!
The frothed version was nice, but I had to hit it several times increasing the wattage each time to really taste it. The shaken version was just balls-out incredible, and had a spectrum of notes that I never even knew existed at even the lowest watts.

If you don't believe me, try it for yourself.

Milk frothers aerate your flavors too much, which, in turn, causes all of the subtler top notes to escape much more quickly before they ever have a chance to homogenize into the mix.

I didn't want it to be true, but, it is.

Nothing beats mixing, capping, shaking, then putting it away somewhere cool and dark and giving time a chance to work its magic on those flavors.
It *sucks* having to wait a little longer, but, in the end it's worth it."

  There you go bobby00

Call me a stick in the mud bobby00 ( I've been called far worse! ) . . . . . but in over 6 years of making my own eliquid, whilst I don't pretend to know everything by any means - but I've never ever felt the need to try magnetic stirrers, frothers, or ultra sonic cleaners for steeping.

If you or others feel that they work for you, then fair enough, each to their own.

Mix, shake, forget . . . . and let time do the rest has always served me well enough for my home mixing needs.

I'm afraid I had the same experience as kreed in this, bobby00, I also wanted it to work (because I like gadgets!) and was disappointed when I found it didn't.

Mind you, if you mix unflavoured liquid to make up one shots, or are mixing powders like Stevia, menthol crystals, vanillin etc it could come in handy!

Then again, some people swear by these things, so down to individual taste.

[kreed]

ahhh...... sorry if my post wasn't clear.

That's not MY experience/story ...... it's someone else's....... but it gets the point across hopefully

Well I've already bought it and if as you say it mutes flavour I shall use for making the wife's caramel coffee she loves the froth lol
Just thought it might be useful for some and you don't have to mix the life out of these things? A little quick spin for the shake n vapes or whisk and vape should I say?
