Vortex STIRRER TURBO - No More Shaking Your Paint!! | Review

[@jimgreen1999]

I have this mixer. I love it. Works great. Holds every size and shape. A large bottle like Createx requires you to hold it while being shaken, just about anything else is secure.

[@MOS6510Models]

ah brilliant..

[@joechunter1]

I bought one a couple of weeks ago. Works awesome and I highly recommend it! I use Tamiya, Vellejo and Citadel paint. No more hand shaking..

[@unmodelistamas]

That's shakes well the Vallejo paint 👀?

[@MOS6510Models]

Right on

[@wordenb1830]

Looks like a fun gadget but a bit beyond my budget. I like to keep my rim and lid clean so always stir my paint in jars whilst shaking paint in bottles by hand is a good workout for us older modellers!

[@MOS6510Models]

Great point!

[@douglyle6106]

I love mine. The suction cups hold very well on a smooth surface. I've been able to revive some of my old paints by breaking up the pigment that has settled with a stirrer. After a few minutes, good as new. It's well worth the price.

[@MOS6510Models]

Good to know! Ive now found a place for it on my bench but it wont stick sadly..

[@martinoconnor4314]

An old Black& Decker jigsaw with a squeezy clamp fixed in the blade jaws and two bottle tops superglued on to the clamp jaws works superbly and cost less than a tenner all in.

[@MOS6510Models]

look for my very old video where i made one :)

[@martinoconnor4314]

@@MOS6510Models Lol, same thing but I use mine exclusively for Vallejo dropper bottles. I superglued a pop bottle cap on one jaw of the clamp and a rubber tap washer with the hole enlarged to fit the cap of the dropper bottles, it holds them perfectly and you don't even need to squeeze the clamp super tight.

[@davideldridge4479]

Yep, 2 tools in one! Rather spend money on kits than what I think is just a gimmick, my opinion.

[@martinoconnor4314]

@@davideldridge4479 Yeah, too many "must have" items on the market for modelling, have you seen the seam line scrapers? what ever was I thinking by using the back of a scalpel blade!

[@r2667639]

ive used the jigsaw mod however i dont just use dropper bottles so ordered similar from tyrells, not cheap as others have said however gonna save these 70 year old arms from shaking off, only difference ive not seen used is i intend adding a stainless ball in each bottle as well to make sure the heavy gets stirred in

[@SamsVlogstrainsmore]

Looks like a interesting piece of equipment Mos!

[@Gremlins_Modelling_Mayhem]

Hi MOS, Nice little tool. I use a nail varnish shaker to mix up my paint both dropper bottles and Outlaw, containers are held in place by a stretchable band.

[@MOS6510Models]

like this one i had? lol kzbin.infopIpo5Kqtfk0

[@Gremlins_Modelling_Mayhem]

@@MOS6510Models yeah, something very similar

[@NickAndrewsFaulkner]

I’ve had a vortex stirrer for about a year, different design to yours, you simply push down on the top and off it goes with you holding it in place. Even a really grungy paint seems to be properly stirred after about 30 seconds, the only failure was a Hataka Red Line Orange which remained resolutely separated! They are not cheap, but I am happy with the purchase.

[@MOS6510Models]

yeah i think ythey have a place especially if you have a lot of paint to stir

[@ianmcgillivray4935]

What is the brand/model of your mixer?

[@NickAndrewsFaulkner]

@@ianmcgillivray4935 Four E's Scientific, Mini Vortex Mixer. I haven't got the box anymore so that's what's on the mixer itself. Hope that helps.

[@derekfellows2848]

Hello Mos, try a couple of blobs Blue tac on either side of the glass bottles.

[@MOS6510Models]

What an awesome suggestion!! Will do that!! Thank you. Email me for a free door hanger and stickers

[@Slycockney]

Mos, I have to get one of these. Thanks for the video

[@MOS6510Models]

anytime matey

[@ModelMinutes]

this could be great for all those enamel tins which i spend ages having to stir

[@julianmhall]

Matt some of the really manky ones you've had to add water to - especially in Starter Sets which have sat in shops for a while - so they'd be usable would be a good test :)

[@MOS6510Models]

i didnt have any sadly to test but it will work a treat

[@grahamcoxon1071]

How noisy is it Mos?

[@MOS6510Models]

yeah noisy but its the vibration that causes it

[@emmabird9745]

Hi Mos. As a self confessed Airfix fan boy, you missed perhaps the obvious. What about the Humbrol tubs in the Airfix gift sets and the Humbrol enamels?

[@MOS6510Models]

hmm... thats a good shout

[@charliegrech4477]

I’ve got this stirrer mos it’s great

[@MOS6510Models]

great do you like it?

[@charliegrech4477]

@@MOS6510Models yep love it just wish it had a rubber strap to secure the bottles as my old had but I like the variable speed switch I think it’s great

[@MOS6510Models]

@@charliegrech4477 i think more speed = less time to mix.. if you set it at a speed that holds the pot securely, it may take a little longer but no dramas.. I think the labels on the paints can be slippery, i just spun a bottle without the label and it didnt spin out

[@captaincaveman6989]

How to paint the walls of your model room?

[@MOS6510Models]

@@captaincaveman6989 what do you mean?

[@vish0775]

was there any import fees or royal mail charges.

[@MOS6510Models]

no matey.. ive never had that with plazajapan as they take the vat at source and is in the bill

[@baldrickhornby9646]

I have one coming from Amazon cost me £89 🤔🤔

[@travisjohnson622]

This is what ive always wanted. You just strap your paint in and leave it.

[@xRepoUKx]

But how am I going to exercise my wrist now? ...

[@alexmoore2831]

Rather loud and i would worry about the movement. I bought a Four E one a year ago and it weighs a ton, no movement and 10 seconds it s mixed

[@MOS6510Models]

how much were they matey?

[@andrewjones1649]

I'd like one, but I think fifty-five quid is a wee bit 'out there' atm. Well, for me anyway.

[@MOS6510Models]

agree.. the postage is extreme but hopefully we will see them in the uk

[@celticwest]

My missis says you need to keep your finger on the end so it doesn't slip out!

[@MOS6510Models]

thats great advice!! will try it :)

[@amrogers3]

Problem is that you have to hold it or else it will move all over the place. Waste of money

[@MOS6510Models]

even with other shakers i hold onto them just in case

[@amrogers3]

@@MOS6510Models kinda defeats the purpose of this shaker imo. Also, I believe the max RPM of this device is underpowered at 2400. Probably better going with a 4E vortex at 5600 RPM, esp since it is cheaper and you have to hold this thing anyway
