Idea's and Tricks for PV's/Juice

[Mary Kay]

I am posting here because this is too silly for the guys.
I am getting tired of trying to find the right flavor of juice among all the white topped caps in my box. I think I am going paint the tops and look for fruit stickers at a craft shop. I can paint little fruit pictures but why go to all that bother..lol The non fruit like choco Ry4, Butterscotch and cappachino can be painted a solid color. (vanilla can just stay white!) As it is I have rubber bands on my atty's in different colors, to keep them separate.
For short trips I use a round slim line eyeglass case. It will hold two 901's. Long trips I use a wallet that has a zippered compartment that opens like a cigar pouch (wide at one end). Best thing about this stuff is that I already had it in a junk box!
Any idea's or tricks that you have to share?

good idea for a thread. I have no ideas, but could use them! I have the boxes all over my place with juice, carts, and parts lying everywhere. I need to get a handle on everything.... I need some upstair, some downstairs, in the purse........ where to put it all. And never mind the wallet, it is empty from feeding this darn obsession.

No, my stuff is a big mess! Bottles and carts and chargers everywhere! was all panicked abut running out of stuff, so I ordered juice from about 10 different suppliers and I have about 10 bottles of different flavors arrayed around my laptop right now and probably 20 more in a drawer with a bunch of other paraphernalia. I have EVO parts, NPro parts and Kissbox parts all over the place and chargers dangling out of all the wall outlets.

Haha you too? All my chargers took up every wall-plug in my apt!

I bought a power strip with 6 outlets so I can use 1 wall outlet for all my chargers (not counting the USB one)

When I go out, *just in case* I end up on safari, I have my 801 on an eyeglass holder around my neck (decorated, it makes quite the fashion statement or conversation piece!), and reading glass cases for my 4081 and 901 (each case will hold the unit and 2 prefilled carts). I like the reading glasses cases because they're smaller than regular eyeglass cases so I can fit 2 in about the same amount of space.

At home, I have stackable see-through plastic containers for nicquids, a plastic table top slide drawer unit for various parts, carts, etc., and use a block of floral foam which I poked holes in with a pen to stand the carts up while I fill them.

And still my e-cigs want their own room...

I was at publix (local supermarket) the other day and they had those plastic drawer boxes for silverware. You can choose the sizes and hook them together. I bought a few (1/2 price) and lined them up in my computer desk drawer. All nice and neat and they stay in the dark. Now I have the rest of the house to clean and organize!
I have been filling one cart lightly and plugging it into a dead atty and battery. Now I have a dummy cig to hold and I get a bit of flavor (and juice sometimes..ugh) but of course no vapor.
It's all part of my master plan.. no not the taste of juice, But to help me get off cigs and e-cigs eventually. I need to use some flavoring from the kitchen, McCormick I think to flavor the carts so I don't get nic in the mouth.

I use a small or it may be a medium size tool box for all my e-stuff. I noticed some people use a tackle box.

I have a little craft box, I took out all my pretty colors of snaps and put in all my e-cig goodies, but my bottles don't fit so they're in a kitchen cupboard.

I'm trying not to get toooo into all of it, I don't want to be doing this forever.. so this is all temporary.
When my next packages arrive (from china) I will have a little over 200ml of juice. I'm hoping that it will be the last time I buy juice, I can surely stretch this lot out till I don't need it anymore.
I'm thinking of selling the M401 kit I just got in the mail yesterday, to make a bit of $$ to buy a couple more parts perhaps for my 901. (I did want to buy a Dura C but I'm not sure anymore) I don't want to sink all my money into this new habit.

I'm getting the I-Inhale for Mothers day as well, and that will be a HUGE help, doesn't use atomizers or batteries.

I have a large, plastic make-up case that I use to keep my gear organized at home - when I go out I have a kit:


I use a bracelet case - ya know, the black velveteen jobs with the elastic bands on either side inside the case to keep the bracelet spread out in the case for presentation...

In the case - I managed to squeeze in: 4 kissbox batteries, 3 attys, 3 of the sample bottles of JC, and a hankerchief for wiping up any spills, drips, etc...

When I was carrying around my SD, I kept that in the front pouch of my purse, as that didn't fit....

Google tampon cases - there are some cool-looking metal ones out there, and I bet any one of us could mod that into a fantastic ecig case -

"Google tampon cases - there are some cool-looking metal ones out there, and I bet any one of us could mod that into a fantastic ecig case "<<< then sell them to the guys lol shhhh

I'm with Ann, I cleaned out my tool box...All my extra boxes, chargers etc in the bottom..Second shelf for things I need occasionally..Top shelf for things I grab all the time.... I also got those plastic craft divider cases..One I use for seperating clean/dirty atmoizers...The other I use for my lorann flavors ( two fit in each compartment perfectly so you can see them all at a glance)

Lets see, tips and tricks... I always keep klenex and a bottle of hand sanitizer on my desk to keep the nic off my hands...
...I used a thin line of gorilla glue around the LD/wire On my passthrus to stablize them.
....I had hubby find a wooden dowel (sp) rod that was the exact same circumference as my m401 cartridge...He cut it into one 1-2 inch pieces that I sanded flat on both ends... Now when I top off my carts. I dont have to worry about smashing my filling when pushing it back in with a paperclip..It's lightening fast.
... before that I took a hairpin (not a bobby pin) straightened it out and bent it into the shape of an "L" on one end to perfectly slide the cart back inside..The other end pushes it up..

I know I shouldnt get too into this either because I too want to eventually quit it all..But, I find fiddling with my stuff all the time keeps my mind off of analogs...Next I'm going to rig up a hook/hanging system for my passthrus....:: far away look:: I need more juice....lol

I had to drive my G'kids 1/2 way home, my daughter meets me. cuts the time down to 2 hours round trip! Anyway my car charger came in handy when a bat failed. Mike thought I was nuts to buy it, but what if my batteries both failed..and I was near a store..and I.. no, no, no!

I got the fruit stickers..they won't stick! I will have to glue or tape them, but they are cute! I tried some little tiny stick on jewels in different colors for the non fruit flavors. It's blinged out but it's hard to tell the difference in jewel color without tilting them. Back to the drawing board!

I have a relatively small northface bag with a lot of compartments. I just store everything in it and carry it with me everywhere even if I don't need half the stuff. I find it better than using purses (which I'm not a purse-type anyway). There are like a dozen little compartments you can put things in. You can keep liquids upright and pens lying horizontal (to avoid the carts from leaking downwards) and can keep them steadily in place.

The northface bags are good because when it's rainy or snowing, water doesn't seep into them. The one I have is almost like a very miniature messenger bag.

Haha you too? All my chargers took up every wall-plug in my apt!

OMG...this is too funny because I can so relate!

Heck, I removed all the glade plugins! I loved them things and now think they are taking valuable space!!

A few weeks ago I found a plastic storage box at Big Lots. I think it is used for storing nuts, bolts & screws. Anyway, it came with little dividers to make the box sections different sizes, so I made a section for each type of e-cigs (901, 801, Dura) for batteries, atomizers and cartridges -and it works out great! It's still small enough to fit in my kitchen cupboard, so I can keep it all in there out of the way, but easy to get to when I need it. I even made a section marked *bad parts* to store them if they are on warranty so I send them back.

For traveling I started out using the hard eyeglass cases (cutting the foam inserts that came in the e-cig box to hold e-cig & parts) but a few months ago I found a little canvas camera bag with 2 compartments at the Dollar Tree that I love to use even more. It's so much easier to unzip to get the e-cig out, and plenty of room to carry even bigger bottles of juice & extra parts, but the case is still only about the size of a pack of cigarettes (just a little thicker when full.) The case also has a loop on it so you can attach it to a belt, and that comes in handy too!

My Younger grandson and I went out to the shop last weekend and used power tools!
We drilled 2 grooves in a piece of wood to hold my PV's. I haven't put any varnish on it yet. It works fine when I don't want them standing upright.
The one with the orange round tip is Mike's he can't get used to a cigarillo tip. I'll be glad when they come out with a round tip in BLACK!

i use little labels and tape to tell my flavors apart.. i like the little 3ml bottles to take on the go.. i can fit more than one in my little vape'ing purse (glorfied wallet) i am in the process of converting one of my diabetic med kits into a vaping supply carrier.. it's funny how i keep needing more room for all this stuff!

 

[dawnlori]

Great ideas gals! I have a tool box from the Dollar Store. This afternoon I was reading all I could about refilling the carts and what everyone had used for wick/stuffing whatever, anyway I was wondering, would cheesecloth work? I heard that some like napkins, papertowel, tea bags. The napkin seems like it would get aweful mushy to me, maybe not. If it tasted like tea that wouldn't work for me. I've never done it yet and I'm sure some of you have so what do ya think? Cheesecloth is cheap enough and I don't think it would have any bad particles to be inhaled.

 

[Malicedoll]

hey dawn! give it a try and let us know if it works.. only way to find out! seems like it might be a good idea.. i don't think it is harmful

Somebody invent a nice P.V. holder for the car! Something to put on the dash that clips the thing in place. Right now I hang it around my neck or sit it in the cupholder. But after getting it looped around the steering wheel..I don't want to do that any more. Resting it in the cupholder means I lose a cupholder!

I also have a plastic storage bin with adjustable slot sizes to hold my carts, attys and batteries. I have a cool Dymo label maker so each slot is labeled.

Each row holds:
carts with slots for clean and dirty
attys with slots for clean and dirty
batteries with slots for charged and dead

It was driving me crazy because everything I have is the same color and I could NOT keep it all straight.

I got glass bottles from Specialty Bottle - Glass & Plastic Bottles Jars Vials Tins Other Containers. I have 30 ml sizes that I transfer my liquid from the plastic bottles. The smallest I could find is 2 drams (around 7.5ml) and they are a little large for carrying around but still better than the plastic ones that leak. Each is labeled with flavor and nic mg content.

I carry everything in a leather change purse/wallet. I can carry my current e-cig, 2 flavors, my USB passthrough and a spare atty, cart and battery. For now it's working pretty well, but I'm always on the lookout for something better.
