Tired of dried and clumpy paints? The LabGenius Mini-Vortex Mixer shaker for miniatures is fun AF and busts most acrylic paint clogs!
We’ve tried out other mixers before and have been a little let down by the results. During our search for a better product, Rob was introduced to this mixer through another trusted company’s social media page, Schooner Labs. Based on their glowing recommendation, we knew we had to give it a try.
The Vortex paint mixer shaker for miniatures paint did not disappoint! This had been a workhorse for Rob and is just an amazing painting accessory you should have!
LabGenius Mini-Vortex Mixer:
It’s the most expensive mixer we’ve tried, but it’s also the most durable of any we have tested- lasting for nearly four years so far at this point! You get what you pay for, and this is just awesome!

How it Works
Right out of the box, Rob picks up the mixer with both hands; this thing has some serious heft to it, more than you would think. The entire grey bottom layer is a metal plate. The top blue rubber piece may attract hairs and dust, but other than that, this product is super simple to use and maintain.
Moving on to the mixing, it’s activating just by applying pressure to the middle of the rubber top. It accomplishes a mix by forcing the liquid in the container into a vortex motion, hence the name Vortex mixer. Rob even used some mixing aids from Army Painter, just small metal balls that agitate and help mix better.
The mixer worked through paint thick and thin for every brand Rob used. The price tag may be higher here, but quality and assurance will always be a big deal!
