Do you shake up your trimix before you draw it into the syringe? Does it matter one way or the other?

I do not shake my Trimix, but not a pre-meditated decision. I don't think shaking the vial would be discouraged.

I shake the crap outta the vial to mix all three components well.

Yes I shake it up. Does it matter? I have no idea.

My Trimix vial last for six months or more. I shake it to look for anything that is not clear and to check how much is left.
Last time I injected. At first, I drew air because I am due for a refill soon.

I would have thought not to shake because that could trap air bubbles?

i always keep my vials frozen until i need to use. i warm it up in the hand and then shake and shake. might be a mental thing but the one time i didnt shake i remember it didnt last as long and from that point on, i shake and shake.
