Have you ever....

No I have the foil below the juice.
I disagree, based on my experiments, the nicotine is not negatively affected. At least not in the short term. ie 4-5 hours
I would also advise against this.. if it is anything like having it sit in the sun for 4 - 5 hours, big NO, that ruins it... I believe in the slow, tried and tested way, get fresh oxygen into the containers every day for the first week. thereafter let it sit, for as long as the flavors require..... This varies, some only really started shining after 4 weeks, lol, others are ready to go right away... I have also hear people advising not to let it sit without the caps on... rather close the bottles.. only open when you introduce new oxygen and shake.... 
so far that has been working pretty damn good for me... better you try it yourself and make your own conclusions... hehe... my way only means that a while before it is finished I have to start mixing juice again, hehe... hence i'm making big ones now, a couple of 100ml mixes keep me going for a while, only dripping, so not a very long time but still... and the RY4 Double is still the winner, tried something different last night, will let you know if it's good in about 2 weeks, hopefully, hehe..
ah, another thing to mention, making big amounts also makes a quicker job of everything, mixing each bottle into a 20 or 30 mil bottle is time consuming, making a big batch means you work with larger volumes, quicker to make, and then just pour into your smaller bottles, hehe

I guess you could, it does taste much better. And looks awesome.
I would use the brown bottles if I had them. I reckon the heat here is key.

Whatever works for you, I believe in coming to my own conclusions rather than just relying on things others say.
No,cant say i have....but i have tried an unused foot spa as a mixer before,didn't do too bad a job actually,plus i got to use it for my feet once done ;P
may even have a video somewhere
may even have a video somewhere
hence,
Yes, true, to each his own... This is what I have found to work.. to each his own, but in the sun, eish, that one I don't know so lekker about, hehe... enjoy the mixing, it's lekker

Check out my experiment http://www.ecigssa.co.za/juice-mixing.t7649/
hehe, nice, that works, lol.... will remember for next time, lol... but after fire fighting training my arms are well worked in, so a couple of shakes on a couple of bottles does not even bother me a tiny bit, hehe...
Gave that a shot.colours darkened slightly but nothing major
A blob of prestik on the centre of a pc fan laying flat worked rather well until it flung the bottle across the house
I've seen some folks here popping bottles inside PC boxes, so I reckon that would work.
As long as it's not too hot, because that kills nic.
Haha. I made a little spinning contraption with a PC fan and a potentiometer. Worked for a while then the pot burnt out and I lost the speed control. I gave up on that one after that. Working on building a magnetic stirrer. Will post details when I have it working legit.
I quickly heat my bottles up to about 50 degrees for 5 minutes or so straight after blending to help the pg and vg mix better would that degrade the Nic?
I got as far as sourcing a beaker and started looking for a stirring rod and i got distracted.magnetic stirrer is ideal for mixing batches where i only ever really mixed commercial juices,so wasnt really worth the effort
Would be interesting to see your version once completed
Highly doubtful, heat does degrade nicotine, but over long periods (hours)
Here's a video of the first crude working prototype:
Aplogies for the shaky video, bad sound and messy workbench!
@Melinda, sorry for the thread jack
unless of course you go and boil it
Oh no, I never apply direct heat. I just fill up a ceramic bowl with hot water and let them sit in there, occasionally removing them for a quick shake until they cool to room temperature when they go back into the 'steeping cupboard'. My wife says that whole room smells like a bakery ha ha.
