Flavoring Collection...

[adeline]

Okay, so I was unpacking my Wizard Labs order tonight and realized.. I have a real need for some kind of DIY flavor storage. And not cute little boxes. I'm talking about a standing tool chest or something.

Anyway, everything now is organized into different categories: sweet and savory, berries and cherries, citrus/apples/pears, "other fruit," TA and SM, TFA tobacco, FA tobacco, beverages, candy, mint and menthol, extractions, DO NOT MIX WITH THIS, and a couple "Misc."

Here are my flavorings...

I might have a flavoring problem. I like to think of it as a lack of storage problem.

And the flavorings don't live there. I just wanted to see how ridiculous it all looked not stuffed in a box.

You're as ridiculous as I am! I have a 2'x2' table with holes bored in 2"x6" boards glued to the top. The holes are for 30ml bottles, 10 ml bottles and WL sample bottles. It looks like a field of small bottles, BUT I know where each flavoring is and it drives me nutz when something is in the wrong place!!!

I wish I had your problem. All of the flavorings I have fit into the small cardboard box I got them in. I'm just starting out though. Not sure how my wife would react to having more vape stuff in the house.

Would she rather have cartons of cigarettes?

I started out with a small box of flavor sample packs from TFA, and PG/VG/Nic from RTS. It all fit in one box.

Now I have gallons of PG and VG, enough nic to last me through a nuclear winter (1mg vaper), and what I can only imagine is nearly 1,000ml of flavorings.



And I got this all organized and pretty, but I really want to mix some of the new stuff!!!

She vapes too, she just has OCD when it comes to a "clean" house. Everything in its place, and a place for everything. Not that I mind. It just means I have more time to mix, and play.

i use some square Tupperware's that are just tall enough to hold bottles 6ml,10ml,30ml and store them with my unflavored nic in a mini fridge. keeps everything pretty organized,preserved and most of all keeps my room from smelling like hell, i noticed pretty fast that once you had a good 50 or more bottles of flavoring around the smell starts to mix and smell pretty bad lol.

I started exactly the same way.. and agonized over the flavor choices!

Now, I'm just a flavor junkie looking for a fix. Right at this moment, I'm having a panic attack looking for a fruit flavoring called Mangosteen.. a fruit I never heard of until a few weeks ago. Is there a 12 step program for a hopeless flavor junkie anywhere?

I don't have NEARLY enough tupperware to store this stuff. Nor enough space in my fridge. Been contemplating getting a mini-fridge though. My dad confiscated my mini-fridge that I used in college and put it in his man cave. Haha. I wonder if that thing is still running (over a decade later)...

Yeah I kept seeing recipes with flavors I didn't have. So I started (somewhat slowly) accumulating flavorings. Let's see, I started DIY in Oct 2011 .. so almost a year and a half of collecting (subtract Jan - Apr 2012.. I was naughty).

There are still a couple flavors I need to pick up.. Sigh..

Never heard of a mangosteen! Looks like you peel it open like an avocado... What does it taste like??

 

[Maile]

I went the mini fridge route.. Mine has a freezer so I can store nic and I keep all my flavors in the door

Think I need more nic... So much room
The main part of fridge I store drinks I don't want to share with the kids

 

[glassmanoak]

I have NO clue what a Mangosteen tastes like. I was just fascinated that it is such a popular fruit in the Phillipines aand I have never even heard of it.

 

[jcal]

mine is almost there I just received another 14 10mil bottles from the NF co-op and already made a few single flavor 5mil test bottles . So your not alone. btw I use compartmentalized large plastic boxes it works well.

Alright, so when we see people complaining about our vendors being out of stock of TFA and such, you know who to PM.
Chances are it's Adeline's fault. I'm thinking a 12 step program is in order..... On a serious note though, I bet it's nice to always have whatever flavor you need to try out those new recipies, no such thing as "writers block" with that kind of inventory.

i'm figuring out what to do with my flavors too. just recently started diy. I want good safe storage and want them to be versatile. my idea is to get a square two inch thick piece of foam, maybe 18" x 18". with a sharp knife I can cut a X pattern every couple inches in the foam. each X will hold bottles of various size. the bottles would be safe, protected from uv rays and versatile. the foam I have in mind is the blackish gray porous kind. im also going to come up with a stackable flip top container for each piece. keeping my premade vendor liquids and such on a kitchen shelf is fine but....when i'm mixing I want the flavors in front of me. I should be able to get to Lowes in next couple days and will give an update should anyone care.
