How do you keep it all organized?

[house mouse]

I have an organization problem with my flavorings. They are currently housed in multiple zip lock bags and I have to do some serious pawing through them to find what I'm looking for. I also forget what I have and almost re-ordered a flavor that I have on hand because I couldn't find it in the bags. (I did look again before I placed the order and found the errant bottle so I didn't duplicate it.)


So how do you guys organize it all?

I have one of those 3 drawer plastic things from Walmart for my flavors. I made cardboard dividers in each drawer. One drawer for fruits, one drawer for caramels, butterscotch, vanillas, cream, etc..., one drawer for drink flavors(mtn. dew, champagne, hypno, cola, root beer, coffee flavors. My sweetners are kept in a box in another drawer.

Thats sound like a good idea.... I too have my 50+ falvors in random plastic bags... hahaha but I keep an excel spread sheet of what I have, and how much of each I used, so I can see what I need to order at a glance of the computer screen. (but when I go to make some juice, takes me awhile to find the flavor I need, lol)

I still end up reordering stuff I already have. I neglected to mention my overflow "area". LOL

Well this is embarrassing to admit but I use a 4 drawer dresser. The top two smaller drawers are divided up for PVs and supplies. The 3rd drawer is filled with flavorings all by supplier and then in alphabetical order. The 4th drawer has containers with all my bottles, mixing and safety equipment, labels and nicotine. I have a chair I can scoot up to the dresser and use the top to make my mixes. I put a stainless tray on the top for cleanliness and to confine potential spills. It works out great and looks nice. It also provides a cool, dark place for my flavorings and nicotine.

Black and Decker style flat part organizer cases and a bit of sterilite for the larger containers/components

I am making this for someone else for a different purpose.
Then I realized that I needed one as well

Haven't all that much yet. But I keep everything in old shoe boxes and new boxes. Just like I do with most of my other stuff.

Got a spreadsheet in google docs, with everything I own and also want. With a few remarks about taste, percentage to use and anything else useful to remember/know.

Sweet! That's kinda what I've been on-line huntin' fer, a tiered rack. But I also need room for 30ml bottles.

 

[Lizzebed]

Could try a nailpolish rack. If it fits OPI, Orly or china glaze, it will 30ml bottles. Just compared sizes, and those bottles have about the same diameter as the 30 ml bottles I have.

I picked up two of those craft organizer boxes that has removable dividers. I keep all my supplies organized in the boxes, in the refrigerator to make sure they stay as fresh as possible for as long as possible.

Huge tackle box.

If you keep them organized by company (FA on top tier, etc.) it will be easier to find them and also to see if you have that flavor already while shopping.

I also note when I'm cooking what flavors I might be running low on and keep an ongoing shopping list.

At least that's how I cope.

I never knew such a thing existed!

I use Plano tackle boxes with movable dividers that I purchased at Walmart for about 5 bucks each.

Thanx to Lizzebed, I'm seriously thinking about buying sumpin' like this:

 

[yo vapo]

Yeah, I use a large Plano box too, but like yours in the first pic all the bottles are lying down. OK, they're sorta standing up when the box is stored on its back edge, but still... That nail polish rack there above sure does look squared away.
Minigoat's tiered rack appeals to me too; I could slap one of those together for next to nothing.

The problem with organizers is finding one that looks good in the kitchen or bathroom and fits in. My wife is always after me to get my stuff off the kitchen countertop. I keep some vaping stuff in the kitchen because it's convenient and there's good access to hot water and a sink.

In my basement workshop, I have a multi-drawer cabinet that's about 18 inches high and a foot wide with 3 inch wide clear plastic drawers in rows of 4. The only problem with that in the house is that it's grey metal and looks like it belongs on a workbench.

I'll have to look around at Walmart for something that has small drawers and looks nice in the house!

That's exactly why I want a tier unit with a front 'rail' and a back 'wall'. I want the ability to see the labels without moving bottles around.

Still looking for one that's under $25 with $hipping...
