HERE to stay! How do you store your stuff?

[MsComptrtchr]

Day two of vaping - I LOVE it! It is SO important to start off with the right equipment. It makes all the difference. I went to a local smoke shop on the Indian res. and was tossed a pack of "Encore" lookalikes. Awful. I strained my neck trying to suck anything out of those things. I felt like I had whiplash! So, instead, I made a trip to the local ecig store - Freedomsmokeusa. They totally hooked me up with what I needed (and nothing more at that.) I vaped like a fiend yesterday (there is a learning curve) and did a LOT of reading on the ECF forums.

Today, I went back to the same store after work and asked them to explain exactly what setup they gave me and to give me another just like it as a backup. I love it - it's all so easy to use and when you get the nicotine level worked out (I had too much yesterday) it's fabulous! I have no desire for an analog.

Here's my setup (so proud that I know this, lol):

- 2 eGo-C Upgrade passthrough batteries
- 2 clearomizers (Kangar Evods - all metal - no worries) - one for day nicotine juice and one for evening lower nic. juice
- a lanyard
- lots of little juices in varying nicotine levels (started at 24, got some 16s and 12 for evening). I smoked methols so I got a variety of minty flavors and some fruity ones (still not sure about these).

I paid around $110 for everything including 50 ml of juices in total. I'm sure I paid more buying local, but then again, I got it immediately (on a SUNDAY) and was given a lot of personalized assistance. Now that I know what I like, I can order online. Although, I like the idea of supporting local business.

I'm sure I will want more after reading this forum, but this is great for now.

One question that I have yet to see an answer for - how do you store your stuff? Are there upright holders out there? I saw one post where a guy made his own Corian holder and someone else mentioned a toothbrush holder. Any other ideas or products out there? Other than a lanyard, how do women carry theirs in a purse. I'm afraid it will leak or spill if I don't keep it upright. Also, I am a teacher, so I need to keep it hidden and locked away. Eventually, I will leave it at home (I normally don't smoke until evening anyway.)

I am so pleased to not be smoky today! My neighbor smokes and it was SO offensive this evening.

Yay me!

You are so lucky to have fsusa as your local shop. That was the only place I would buy juice from until I started DIY.

That's how I store my stuff... Lol

 

[MsComptrtchr]

Awesome setup - definately need to find something similar (in red, heh heh.) What is holding the actual ecigs upright? That's the kind of thing I need at my bedside table.

And yes, I am so happy to have found fsusa. I feel like I hit the ecig jackpot on that one. Heck, NOTHING ever originates in TUCSON, lol.

Here is what I use for daily vape items. I made this from a decorative plate and crystal napkin rings, wanted something that looked very cool and decorative For longer term storage I use boxes and plastic containers. bnrk

 

[MsComptrtchr]

Is this an untapped market (holders) or are people just THAT much into the DIY aspect of it all?

 

[bnrkwest]

Not sure. There are some ready make out there, maybe someone can post some links. bnrk

Hi there and Welcome to ECF mate, congrats on giving up the stinkys.

Some of my stuff I store in a metal riesens tin, some in plastic storage cases like liquids which I keep in the fridge. I made my own PV holder but found a nice polished metal holder for toothbrushes at Walmart, I just had to make a few grommets for it to not scratch my PV's.

 

[BigCypress]

I make mine out of wood inspired by zippersnapper.

I'd be happy to make some for people for a nominal fee. I'd even stain em!

I've got to get a nice setup like some shown here. Currently don't have too much equipment, but the juice samplers are starting to pile up. I'm using an old humidor right now and it seems like I'll run out of room like I did when I was puffing on Cigars.

 

[josvac]

Here's my desk stand. All the small stuff is in a Plano container.

I am fairly new to the game, so I don't have enough stocked up Mods or juices. I run 4 of them at a time and I store them in an Altoids tin when I am out and about.

I just picked up a 6ft tall 3 ft wide 2.5 foot deep solid oak cabinet with glass doors....i now call it my vape station. yardsales are great

when i'm on the go I carry around 2 "e-cig" soft cases. one Inferno case and one lavatube case. (both came with kits I bought.) I cycle through 5 different tanks a day...kinda a pain but soooooo worth it!

I need to make some sort of mod holder, it is getting too much knocking mods over, into other mods usually!

But, I use a compartment tool box type thing for all the consumables and odds and ends:

 

[naterod]

All I have is a tackle box. I now only have a Vamo. I started with a spinner but sold it to a buddy at work. Just got my first rebuild able, the IGO L. Later this week I plan on getting a Provari Mini. I'm on the notify me list for the diver. I usually run with my pro tank, IGO and my HH .357. I plan on getting several siam mods Atty holders for my individual set ups. A mod holder does seem like quite the necessity, its just getting the right sizes for mods.

 

[InTheShade]

Oh no, something else to obsess over, stands!

Nice collection of drip tips there Lizod

Don't have a picture available at the moment, but try this:
Go to a Dollar Store and find the isle with all the matching plastic ware / containers for food storage. I found a 3-piece set with matching colored trim and they are stackable. One of them fits / holds a package of much smaller plastic containers for smaller parts and thingies, and a deep one holds all my juices, empty bottles, etc. It is like a modular storage system.
Looks nice, and the price was even BETTER, afaic......all for 4 bucks (plus sales tax......lol)

Ooooops, forgot to mention, I have one of those office supply lazy-susan type 'carousel' things for the office (from Staples or any office supply store) with 4 deep compartments and 6 or 8 small compartments (originally designed to hold pencils, pens, letter opener, staple remover, paper clips, etc., in black, that I am using for my desktop holder. Works like a charm.....I'm looking for one in a clear plastic or lucite.

[dbug]

I just started so everything is in the ziploc bags for now inside my lunch bag away from my kids... LOL
