Slumming, In which our noob exponds on frugal methods

I'm cheap. I'm fine with that.
Here's some things I'm using that are cheap and work nicely.

1.) Empty food color bottles are good for special mixes. Here in the States you get them in a four-pack of red, blue, green and yellow for about 3 bucks. The caps on each bottle corresponds to the dye color, so just rinse them out really well and assign a color to use consistently for each of your favorite mixes to eliminate the need for labels and tape and whatnot.

2.) Tobacco flavored juice + VG + plain old 86-ish proof bourbon = Delicious.
I was gonna liquidate some of my mutual funds to stock up on Lorann or Bickfords, but I found that bourbon is fab. I already budget in for a half a gallon a month, pretty sure I won't miss the ounce or so I'll use up as flavoring.

3.) My pharmacist gave me a "Hmmm are you a ...... addict?" look when I asked for a syringe. So I rummaged around and found that cake decorating tips are sufficiently sizable, durable and conical to use for squeezing juice out of carts. I just put the decorating tip pointed into a bottle, tossed in a cart, and wrapped my finger in plastic wrap and pressed down, repeated witha few more carts. Then I flavored the resulting liquid with my bourbon/VG recipe, and tucked it away for on-the-go refilling.

4.) Speaking of on-the-go, a travel toothbrush holder holds 2 e-cigs, several carts, and a couple of homebrew bottles of juice. It fits nicely into a purse, and I suppose guys could tuck it into a pocket since their species sometimes feels that they not allowed to use purses.

While waiting for proper bottles to put my mixed eliquid into I have been using old pill bottles (ones with child proof caps). They aren't good for transporting but do the job well of holding eliquid!

I had a old tool box for all my e-stuff.
I use a tooth brush travel holder for my syringe.
Empty Visine eye drop bottles.
I used to work road construction so I have a bunch of small oil sample bottles that seal tight.
Small metal strainers to dip attys in hot water.
A bunch of Sweet Breath bottles..10 cents a piece.
Yes, I have the food dye bottles too. lol.
Dental tools for fluffing and tucking the cores.

I've been using old pill bottles since my first ecig... to toss a few carts in, drain atomizers, hold droppers and other misc... all kinds of things. One sitting here right now has a masking tape label, "Cola Done"

Our Dollar Tree has packages with 8 very tiny (either square or round) storage containers for $1. They work great for holding atomizers (I mark one to hold the 'dead' ones and one to hold the 'working' ones.) I also use them to separate cartridges by the flavors I've used them with, so I don't mix flavors.

They also have the hard cases made for eyeglasses, and the foam that came in the 901 kit (to hold the e-cig) is easy to cut down to fit inside. The foam already has the cut-outs for holding the e-cig & extra battery, plus enough room in the foam is left to cut out spots to hold a few extras, like an atomizer or tiny bottle of liquid.
