Review of an Affordable Vortex Paint Mixer on Amazon

[MustContainMinis]

Recently I bought myself an INTLLAB Lab Vortex Mixer from Amazon. My intention is to use it for mixing paint and it works really well! You can read my review at...

I also have a video review of the product on the way.

Good review.

I have one of the nail polish shakers on its way back to Amazon as it lasted about 2 days before failed.

I will invest in the Intllab one 👍

Thanks for the feedback. How did the vortex mixer work out for you?

Has it improved your painting ?

The Intilab one works perfectly, only minor downside is that you have to hold the paint bottle in the shaker whereas with the nail polish shaker you just stepped it in and let it shake.
With larger paint bottles such as Foundry or GW, you have to find the right angle and pressure to apply to get the mixer to vibrate.
So, a couple of irritations but it has been used a lot over the last 3 months and never let me down.

It will not improve your painting but it does improve your paint by mixing it well and that helps to give a better finish.

cheaper but similar to the norlab M-1 I picked up several years ago now.

Secondhand as new ex lab equipment, well worth it overall even with having to hold bottles against it.

much prefer to cheap nail varnish things.

Has it improved your painting ?

It has not been improving my painting, but it has been improving my experience. It also makes a huge difference when you use Army Painter Paints. I could never get those ones mixed well by hand.
