Trying to find the best way to organize my coils and coil heads and thought I'd ask for some suggestions
How do you organize your coils and coil heads?

I use these:
Plano 23750 Stowaway Utility Box - Walmart.com
My Walmart sells them in the sporting goods dept for $3.84
The same box in the craft dept they charge $6.50....
They are good for tanks and RDAs also.

How about those small parts organizers? the clear plastic boxes with all the little compartments. You can find them at most hardware stores or Harbor Freight.
The way i do it is i only use one style of atomizer, an rda so all there is to organizes is a spool of wire, a bag of cotton and some rebuilding tools I keep in the box my Note 4 came in.
Harbor Freight has a bunch of choices depending on how much space you have, and your decor of course. Parts Racks, Storage Bins & Organizers

Its easy for me..all my premade coils stay in their boxes stacked on my shelf..
These coils in a box of 5 and sealed until needed
Different resistance is also easy as well as the different coils for different tanks..
Now for wrapping my own coils I have wire in the desired resistance on small spools..also stored on the shelf.. I find I don't need to replace my own coils very often as they last 6 months or more sometimes .. a simple flavor change means pulling the old cotton out of the coil out, then dry firing my coils and installing new cotton with a new flavor..
Because my coils I wrap last so long I don't need to store any, I just wrap new ones when needed
These coils in the pic are about 4mos old..getting new cotton for a flavor change..

Got eight different boxes of coils. Even a box of coils I make get categorized and marked and into boxes.
When I make pairs of coils i thread some 36 or around there gauge through them both and give it a twist at the end. So a loop of wire joining them. I then use masking tape and stick it to the bottom of one of the tails of a coil.
The ones down the bottom are tied together with 36 guage. The Ravaged staggered clapton up top i had a length of fishtail braid leftover to tie them together. Here is a tip make sure you wind the wire the same way for all the wraps when staggering else you get that ugly mess. Vapes well just looks like my sister.
I can then throw them into divider boxes like the ones in the above posts. But I also know what they are made of and I often give the resistance a quick measure and write that down too.

When I need new coils I make new ones and throw the old ones away. Simple
I have one of these Pill Organizers in my Build Box.
Mine has Slightly Bigger compartments. And each holds about a Dozen Coils or so. I think I got it at Walgreens for like 3 Bucks.

You keep the little springs when your pens run out of ink? LOLThis is two years worth, I keep them in a little plastic zipper bag.

Im a build as you go kind of guy. All my building gear is in a tool box, drill on the shelf beside it. I do need a portable bench clamp to start twisting up some braided coils if there are any donors near by! 
Isn't it nice to not fuss over making coils and still get an awesome vape? GG FTWThis is two years worth, I keep them in a little plastic zipper bag.

Basically store seals same as my coils. Screws in another container the same. My hundreds of spare glass are in a much bigger container all marked for easy reference.
I went to five below and bought a couple packs of the small screw top containers from the beauty section. They are easy to throw in my bag and keep up with.
Chels, when I started learning here at ECF, I decided to only use 1 ready-made coil. At that time, I choose the ProTank, because I could also rebuild them and they can be used in multiple tanks. I didn't want 8 different types of coils to keep track of, and parts for all of them. I do make my own coils for my Kayfuns, etc. I use the same partitioned boxes above, they work very well. I get in the mood and make a bunch of coils, string them on long straight pins, and put them in medicine bottles, then into the boxes. Get in another mood and build a bunch at one time. I do make sure to label everything! Size of wire, type of wick, ohm, etc.
People who have seen my vape stock say WTH it looks like a Vape Shop. And bear in mind this is only what is out in plain sight..............
