I have a request from all you DIY-ers, and some questions. Thank you all in advance for taking the time to read though this lengthy post, and providing ideas, sources, and example pictures.

I wanna see your set up! Id love for everyone to share a few pictures of their "mixing station". -

On top of that, feel free to take close up pics of what you use (If you do this)... Of what you use to hold your nicotine, pg, and vg while mixing, so you dont knock it over on accident. Along with what you use to hold the bottle your mixing in (Again, if you use something to hold it) Either way, Flash your stash! I wanna see your messy (or seriously ocd organized desk or work areas!) BRING ON THE PICTURES!

Which leads me to a couple questions (please place a "#1, #2, #3" at the begging of your answer, and number your answer accoding to which number qustion of mine you are answering.... I have a feeling once people start posing pics and having side discussion, its going to be hard for me to come back and re-track down all the answers lol... this way I can just look for the "#__" at the beginning. THANKS!

1, I get my pg, vg, nicotine etc, in different size containers. Id love to find some 90-120ml containers that are all the same size, that would be easy to uncap, and extract the contents while mixing.. Maybe if someone knows of some empty bottles to buy, and where I can buy them.. Maybe some glass-wear or something... Also, if there is a set of 3-4 containers, it would be cool if they come in their own little stand, or rack that I can sit on the desk, so I cont knock the individual bottles over while mixing.

2. As mentioned above, If anyone has any good ideas for "desk holders" to hold the pg, vg, and nicotine containers, so it wont fall over, get kocked over, and just looks nice (I am trying to set up my mixing station to look really nicely put together and clean, Black everything, or stainless steel would be amazing!

3. Along with the desk stands or holders, I have all my flavors displayed on "Steps" that I made using a TON of decks of playing cards (I am a magician, so I have loads of them) and I stacked like a long row 4 decks high, then the next 3 decks, 2, and 1, and have all the bottles lined up and stepped so I can read the flavor of each bottle and it looks nice... so I am either looking for a sort of stepped display table, or whatever that can sit on the desk, I have seen shot glass displays like that.

4. Again, for more holders, I was thinking maybe a shot glass display, But something that can hang on the wall and have all my flavors displayed, It would need to be able to hold anywhere from a 10ml - 30ml bottle in it, while still being able to read the labels. Also, would like if it had sort of a ledge, lip or "railing" on it so that they don't fall off, soft of like the hanging racks that e-cig stores use to hang and display their e-liquid for sale.

5. Any other "cool" organizational items that you believe any DIY-er should have on their work station, This can also include the syringes, tools for coil building, the materials for coil building, etc, or anything else you can think of! - Post some pic if you use what you are recommending!

That nail polish rack is right up my ally! and for only 20 bux!

The hanging rack was cool too, but did I read that price right 80 bux?!?


If I could find some clear or glass air tight jars on a 3 hole rack, kinda like the holes on the nail polish tube holder would be awesome! So I could have the 3 jars lined up on the rack and they wont move when I am using them for my pg, vg, and nic... And it would match the stepped nail polish holder. I know im saying it a bit confusing, cus I dont know anything I have seen in real life to compare it to. Something that would hold like around 100ml's of each. Hmmm

Loving it so far!

Keep um coming!

I have one of these coming in the mail and I am very excited to me able to put flavor bottles up and out of the way.

http://www.amazon.ca/Nail-Polish-Or...d_sim_k_1?ie=UTF8&refRID=0Y21KB8060966QSN7S6C

Hey me too! I ordered this one:

Amazon.com : Pana Brand *Register under Pana* Nail Polish Wall Rack (Fit Up To 100 Bottles of Nail Polish) (Metal Frame, Unbreakable) (BLACK) : Beauty

I am excited to have mine in alphabetical order. I made a 30 mL tonight of that fab Castle Long clone over on the main eliquid thread because I can't stay out of the 20 mL I made and want to see what it's like actually steeped. That was the only bottle I made, so I got to dig seven flavours out of 3 tupperware containers with about 100 little bottles. I'm over that noise.

Otherwise..my china hutch is dedicated almost entirely to vaping and DIY. I sit at the kitchen table to mix because the light is best there and oh..the hell those tiny syringe markings play on my eyeballs!

I am excited to see what turns up in this thread..will be keeping a close eye on this one.

Hammerfly-

I like the design. I am going to copy a few of your ideas.

You must have spent some time in the Navy. That paint color sure looks like "Haze Grey" to me...

Glance at my blogs and see some of my contraptions...


I did happen to serve time in the Navy on board CVA-42 USS F.D. Roosevelt. The gray was just plain old rattle can gray from Rustoleum though. Feel free to use any of the ideas you can come up with on this.

Here is a link to a thread I started to show off my OCD. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/diy-e-liquid/498055-flavor-storage-box.html

I like it because I can close the lid and keep the smell in it's place. Also, the separate holders work very nicely to prevent spills and to line up the flavors I am using at the time.
I am in love with hammerfly's set up. If it could be marketed, he would be rich beyond his wildest dreams:)

I keep all of my DIY stuff in my desk as seen in the first picture. I made a little holder in a 2x4 for all my flavors I get from Wizard Labs by drilling holes to fit the small 8ml vials and then stained it to make it look fancy :p. I need to make another one to hold the other flavors I get from other sources, it's getting a little to crowded in that cabinet for my liking. My syringes and needles go in that little plastic holder seen in the 3rd picture along with all of my other vape related trinkets/parts. My mixing station is located right underneath my calculus book in the 2nd picture lol.

Followed her all over the Med 65, 66, 67, 68, 69... Smelled yall's smoke for days running "plane guard" aboard USS Conyngham, DDG-17 - a round bottom Destroyer.
Rode midship's highline (Bosun's chair) over to her in 68 and went into port in Fla. after long Med Cruise...
