Got my DIY birthday present

[savagemann]

So I've been getting into diy juice.
The only thing I really buy anymore is bobas, and I try to savor that when I'm in the mood.
Anyways, I've built up a pretty nice stash of flavorings, but decided I needed more.
About a month ago, I started building up shopping carts with TFA, Wizard Labs and ECX.
Any time I came across a really good recipe on ecf, I made notes of what I would need.
This really started to add up.
But I just had a birthday last week, and decided to treat myself.
I ordered from all 3 places.
Still waiting on EXC, but it should be here tomorrow.
I recieved WL and TFA orders today.
I'm pretty excited.
Anyways, here is a pic the vape mail I got today........
DIY pron.......

Nice! That is a huge stash! That should keep you busy for a while!

Holy crapwow!
that's a lot of flavors!
And all lined up so neat!!!

 

[Chas_L]

Impressive,looks like $300 plus worth of flavorings. Hope that you are able to usehalf or more of it before it goes stale (weak) on you.

Some say it lst for years but others say only 6 months or so. I have 73 flavors myself mostly 8ml TFA from WL but also some LA ,FW ,Totally Wicked etc..15ml up to 4oz..

WOW! Be sure to let us know how your recipes turn out.

Shouldn't be a problem.
I'm whipping up tons of stuff for friends and their friends.

Since I started playing with mechs and sub ohm setups, I find myself going through as much as 10ml a day sometimes.
Usually about 5-6ml on average for myself.

When I find a recipe I like, I'll make several variations of it, slightly changing each flavor percentage, so I sometimes have 6-10 revisions before I settle in on one. From there I will tweak that one a little.
Next thing you know I've made 15 10ml bottles minimum to get a recipe right where I want it.

I really love tinkering.

Haha. Yea, I lined em all up to try and get an idea on how much storage space I was gonna need and to take inventory.
I'm trying to make a spreadsheet of everything I have on hand.
I'm making storage trays to fit everything so lining them up was crutial to the process. Plus, it was kinda fun...
It was funny, my wife saw them all lined up this morning and said it must have taken forever.
It actually only took a few minutes.
I just roughly lined em up and used a sheet of plastic, put it behind each row of bottles and pulled them inline. Easy peasy.

Chas was right, it was about 300bux worth. Good eye Chas.

Just cause I spotted them, Rick (who made my custom PV stand) has some flavor bottle trays on his website. Couple rows down the page...
If you've wanted a cool, specialized storage trays for a particular space and (like me) don't want to make it yourself - you could check with him...

 

[pufZeppelin]

cool, nice stash
thought I had a lot of little bottles sitting around (and I don't mix)

a tip you might not have used--to store bottles simple, cheap, easy -- " Floral Foam " Green STYROFOAM

I use the 1'x3' sheet that is 4" thick...
then use a Socket w/ ext (as handle) to drill (or mill) needed hole (eg:13/16" spark plug socket does 30ml bottles)

it's qwik-n-easy compared to the more permanent wood-working solution...

just a thought

wow....nice. you should post some of your success recipes for us still trying.....but sadly not good at it yet !!!

 

[Berner]

I have 135 bottles of flavors, just ordered some parts cases from Harbor Freight to organize them all. Getting to be a real pain to find what you want when you have to sort through a million bags. Have fun and post some of your recipes...


Vape on!

But I just had a birthday last week, and decided to treat myself.

Just did the same thing myself when the kids came through with a gift card. I treated myself to 20 hangsen flavors.

An embroidery floss/needlecraft organizer would make for nice storage cases for these as well. They are inexpensive, and you can alter the size of the "sections" making some small and others larger. You could also sort them in different boxes according to their varieties as well. They stack easily as well.

Nice flavor assortment

 

[SonHouse]

Wow, you look like me! Very nice assortment!

I'm making storage trays to fit everything so lining them up was crucial to the process. Plus, it was kinda fun...

I made a few trays for my WL vials & CAP bottles. I used a diagonal pattern to make it a bit easier to see the labels (see the tray at the rear of the first attachment). Overall I've been pretty happy with them, but am running out of room and need to make another one.

The bottom tray shown it the second attachment is a mixing tray; it's got jars of PG & VG, space for PG & VG nic (30ml bottles), and holes for CAP & WL flavors. This keeps me from knocking over the ingredients as I mix; it's been tested and seems to work pretty well



Anyhow, nice collection, and good luck with it! Make sure you post back and show us your storage solution(s).

 

[savagemann]

Awesome!
Great ideas from everybody here.
Now I've got a lot to ponder about which direction I'm going to go with my storage solution.
I will contribute some recipes once I get them nailed down.
I have some good stuff going now, but needs steeping time and possible refinements depending in the steep.
:thumbup:

A nice size fishing tackle box also make for good storage.

With all those wonderful flavors you have got to have some great recipes. If you can get out of the lab for a bit could you be so kind as to share some of them with us new diy'ers

My wife found some white floral foam at Joanns works great
