Hey everybody. I'm fairly new around here. Been vaping quite a bit for the past 3-4 weeks or so. And thanks to this forum I went from knowing absolutely nothing to knowing quite a bit. Already I've found myself accumulating a lot of stuff. I have multiple PV's, cartomizers, atomizers, drip tips, a tank, a couple handfuls of different liquids, etc...

I was wondering how some of you more experienced people organize and store all of your equipment and supplies. Right now I'm using a small wooden box to try and keep things together, but It's quickly filling up and becoming unorganized. So I'm looking for solutions. I've heard about some people using a small tackle box or makeup box to keep things organized, but I'm looking for other creative options. Maybe you guys could post pictures of your setup.

I have a relatively small box I suppose which could look like a very small tool box. The underneath compartment is sizable enough but it has a top layer which you can remove and this has different compartments. It's pretty and girly and it suits my needs...and I call it my 'apothecary box'. It also cost me less than £5. That said, I have a second box for my DIY gear. There's not a lot in it - goggles (safety conscious!), gloves, a bottle of PG, a bottle of VG, a bottle of nicotine, some empty bottles and a couple of syringe barrels and that box was a gift and contained a load of smellies for Christmas.

It doesn't need to be fancy or expensive... although I've seen some people with plastic drawers full of stuff! It looks AMAZING!

I'm a simple guy with simple needs, so my method probably won't apply.

I have a rack which holds six batteries.

I have a rack which hold 30 cartos (I refill them by a bulk process).

I have a small plastic box for empty cartos and another for the condoms.

Those four items take up little room and sit on my desk all the time.

My rack for holding cartos during refilling, the syringe and needles for refilling, the syringe for washing cartos, and the thingy for taking out the mouthpiece are in a small basket on a shelf of my desk.

All my juices and flavorings are in a case made for holding large index cards. I keep that in my refrigerator.

I have a couple of pencil boxes of dead things (cartos, batteries, PTs, etc.) in a drawer with my other electronics stuff (anything I do with that stuff in the future will be an electronics project).

My only other vaping things are alcohol for washing cartos, a gallon of PG, bottles of VG, etc. and are stored with similar items in the bathroom or closet.

I use a shoe box, with smaller boxes inside,
it's really a mess tho,

There's a line of plastic boxes called "Really Useful" which I like. They're clear so you can see what's inside, and they stack nicely. The smallest ones (0.14L) are perfect for cartos, condoms, etc. Office Max currently has those on sale 2/$1.

Handful of small tool boxes. Think that one was around $8 @ Lowes I believe. Got another one waiting for my DIY supplies but thinking it's going to need to be bigger.

Just ordered on one these from Harbor Freight:

Figure it could be good for holding enough stuff for medium length trips. Easily fit everything I'd need. Hell if it doesn't work for PVs they are extremely useful.

I may try customizing it for the job, but if I'm going that far I'm going to make one for the purpose.

Maybe it's because I spent a good amount of time building models, but that's where my head went when thinking about "where am I going to store all this stuff?".

For example, modellers have bottles for the paints, about the same size as eliquid bottles. That's gotta be stored somewhere. I'm looking at stuff like this:

Model Expo - REVOLVING TOOL CAROUSEL WITH 79 HOLDERS

Model Expo - EIGHT PLIER HOLDER WOOD BLOCK

Model Expo - MODELING WORK STATION

Model Expo - PINE WOOD TOOL STAND, 4.5 INCH DIA X 2.5 INCH

Model Expo - 2 PIECE STORAGE SET WITH ADJUSTABLE COMPARTMENTS

I think there are a lot of options in just that one site alone.

I really like that first one. Could hold a lot of stuff.

For the clear plastic storage containers, seems that dollar store(s) or harbor freight have the best prices.
