E-Stuff Needs Own Room

[Trayce]

I only just started a month ago but with the batts and chargers and PCC and cartos and clearos and condoms and pipettes and droppers and DIY flavors and e-juices and bottles for mixing and food cartridge for cleaning, and syringe for injecting, etc... It's like I need to add another room just for this stuff! I keep looking at my medicine cabinet thinking things like, "How often do I really use bandages?" and "When's the last time I had a fever?" thinking all this stuff can go in a sack somewhere! But even my medicine cabinet isn't big enough. And I haven't even gotten to the big guns yet! I'm only still on KR808s!!

I saw someone suggested a tackle box or tool box for e-stuff... how about a room converted into a lab with a nice sink and counter space, good lighting, lots of outlets and open shelving so you can admire all your stuff and keep an eye on all your DIY brews in progress. Counter tops can be laminate. Have to save money somewhere.

I think someone has a case of the vapers... Hehe I can totally understand! I am one of those types of people that are 100% into something or not interested in it at all. So far, my hobbies include HAM radio (though I can't afford to go nearly as nuts with it as I want to - new business owner not e-cig related), Mead making (room dedicated to that), leatherworker (shop dedicated to that and my business), and now e-cigs (huge case of the "I wants" will turn into a huge collection over the course of the next year). All in all, I need to be a millionaire to ever think about reaching my fantasy Nerdtopia, but what can I say. If you don't have your head in the stars, however are you going to fly above the clouds?

LOL, I'm not quite at the "needing it's own room" stage, but I did ask my husband tonight if he could pick me up a tackle box tomorrow - he looked at me like I had 3 heads!! It is not often (or ever) I've said the words "tackle box"!! But we have a beautiful antique secretary/desk that was his parents in the living room that I have completely taken over with all my supplies - I think it's time it went back to its original use so I'll start with a tackle box and see where we go (grow) from there!

Problem solved

Actually I got this to celebrate two years without a cigarette

Only, the cat is really PO'ed because I moved his doggie

Plano tackle boxes are my friends.

Good luck going from a desk to a tackle box!! And where do you plan to put your tackle box? In the desk?

@tj99959 That is exactly what I was picturing, but then I realized I'd need a sink!

How many do you have and where do they get stored?

I have two large ones that come with tabbed-locking drawers. Each one has four divided pull-out drawers and a large flip top compartment for storage of chargers, batteries, mods, etc. Each one has a nice handle for carrying and transporting. I have a plain desk/ table on which they sit next to my computer in a spare bedroom. They're not really expensive. I think I paid something like $14 each through Amazon. Surprisingly they hold lots of vaping gear.

I will take a pic of my setup when I get home

Lol! I don't need a room but I have a large 2 drawer plastic container I keep everything in. It's even big enough to keep my 60ml bottles of juice. It's funny because I thought it was huge when I purchased it & now it's full. I even purchased one of those plastic tool thingies with compartments for all of my tanks, cartos, & other small items. It's full too! I don't know if that means that I need a bigger storage container or if I need to stop buying!

Hey, those do sound pretty handy. Maybe I could put all my stuff from the medicine cabinet in one so my vape stuff fits in the cabinet.

Good luck with stopping buying! Sounds like you're ready for container #3!

And don't forget room for the computer (need to keep up with ECF in the lulls), refrig & microwave for snacks and beverages during those long DIY sessions, big screen TV & Lounge Chair for relaxing in, and...

Mead -- nectar of the Gods and a righteous hobby to have! Not a SCA member, by chance?

 

[RVMOSS]

Love your present to yourself for being off the Stinky's. Way to Go! Any cool vaping shops in SLC?

Surprisingly no, but I have made some leather armor and pouches and stuff for several SCA members here in Georgia and in Tennessee.

Oh ya! In fact Electronicstix.com has three B&M's plus there are about a half dozen other B&M's in the aria.

I'm always telling new vapers to purchase diligently and gradually, but it's really, "Do as I say and not as I do." Three years ago, it was my way to get off the analogs. Then it gradually became a hobby. After the hobby it's now almost an obsession. I've got enough stuff to last through a zombie apocalypse, but there is always that one elusive device, that one scarce RBA.
