If you mix your own vape juice, either from scratch or simply ‘doctoring’ up your premade favorite flavors and brands, the Nitecore NFF01 just might be the best tool for the job. The NFF01 has a simple function, and the idea behind it is certainly sourced by laboratories all over the world, but to say that the Nitecore NFF01 is a “magnetic mixer of liquids” just doesn’t cover it. This tabletop tool possesses outstanding craftsmanship, and such precision I would not be surprised to see the device repurposed for use in many laboratory settings. For now, I’ll stick to its primary function of helping DIY E-Liquid mixers get excellent results from their endeavors.
While it’s true that there are tens of thousands of DIY e-liquid makers in the vape community, and that the Nitecore NFF01 Magnetic Liquid Mixer will benefit these mixers terrifically, I believe that there is another audience that Nitecore should be approaching, and it is the primary reason I wanted to do this review. The ‘other’ audience is people like myself; people that have found amazing premade vape juice that can blend together to make even a better product when combined.
In my mind, a review of a product like the NFF01 should not consist of just a bunch of specs and features, but of some real-world testing. Specs and Features can be found anywhere by just searching Google. But to find specific ways in which the NFF01 earns back its modest price tag quickly is far more important than just knowing a bunch of specifications. That said, at the end of this exploration into the Nitecore NFF01 I’ve listed all the specs and features anyway.
First, here’s video that does a very good job of showing off the NFF01. Watch this short piece and then continue reading about how I choose to use the new NFF01.
The Nitecore NFF01 liquid mixer (in our world it’s an e-liquid mixer) is a top-notch professional tool. It easy to set up and use. The idea is simple. Yet, after so many years of creating DIY eliquids by thousands of people, no other company has created a liquid mixer and placed it into the hands of DIY E-Liquid Creators… until now.
The NFF01 is, at its core, a plate where one would place a container with the e-juice being mixed. You would then place one of the small metal “capsules” in the liquid and the magnets inside the plate causes the capsule to spin.
Professionals in the lab, including professional eliquid brands and chemists the world over, have been using machines like this for decades. But now, this tool is available to anyone, so professional results rests in all our hands.
I’m not going to try and be something I’m not, and the truth is I haven’t mixed a bottle of eliquid in more than 2 years. With 60mL bottles now the norm, with HighVG and low nicotine all the rage, and with the price of vape juice coming down, I’ve seen no reason to mix my own. However, for those that do, God bless you! The money saved is no small thing.
Anyway, I found two awesome ways to put my Nitecore NFF01 to work for me, and now that I have, I would miss it if it were gone, and I would be everything I could to replace it as fast as possible.
Every bottle of e-liquid you and I buy can always get better with a little, or a lot, of “steeping”. Steeping in the vape industry means “aging” and “time for the ingredients to marry”. Too often even the finest vape juice companies do not have the time, or the storage facilities, to mix, bottle, and ‘age’ their product. Vape juice is always better with a little aging at home. But what if you can capture the peak flavors almost immediately, without having to run through the steps of Steeping Eliquid?
The idea of speeding up the steep process is to take steps to open the bottle, shake it, leave the cap off a while to allow a fresh exchange of air, and so on. With the Nitecore NFF01, it’s much faster, much more precise, and it brings out the best in the eliquid with little effort.
Here’s How I Put My NFF01 to Work for Steeping
The NFF01 comes with 3 individual stirring capsules. This metal capsules sit at the bottom of a glass, or a bottle, and when placed on magnetic deck of the NFF01, the capsules spin from 70 to 1200 revolutions a minute. This creates an intense exchange of oxygen (air really) with the vape juice molecules, and within minutes the NFF01 has saturated the premade e-liquid with more air than 3 weeks of sitting in a cool, dark, closet with the cap left off.
The vortex the vape juice creates while the capsule is spinning does more to marry, or blend, the ingredients than a month of manual shaking of the bottle. It is this merging of the ingredients that intensifies the flavors, distributing the nicotine into each atom of the VG/PG/Flavoring ingredients. The result is a vast improvement in both flavor and vapor production. All these ingredients, after being spun around inside the bottle, are as close to becoming a single ingredient, and it’s all done within 15 minutes.
Since picking up my Nitecore NFF01 I’ve improved even the best vape juice to come my way. Plus, the office staff is always hitting me up to use the NFF01 whenever they open a new bottle of juice. Trust me, it is the BEST way to Steep your e-liquid.
In Conclusion
Using the NFF01 is straightforward; When the machine is on press the top button at the left of the screen. This allows access to the RPM settings. Adjust the RPM with the rotating button and press it to lock in the selected setting.
You can program the mixer to run at certain times every day for up to 14 days. For DIY this is important, for my uses, it never takes more than an hour at most to accomplish my goals of steeping, blending, or tweaking.
The Nitecore NFF01 is a great tool for DIY vape juice creators, but there are other Vapers out there in the community that the NFF01 can serve very well indeed. The NFF01 is very well made, it will last a very long time, and it is affordable, flexible, and will add huge amounts of pleasure to anyone’s vaping experience. I love it.
As I said in the beginning, below are the official specs and features. Look them over, then think about all the ways you can improve your eliquids with a simple tool like the Nitecore NFF01.
