Just got into the DIY ejuice about a month ago and have quickly gathered about 20 flavor's/bottles of flavors.
I am looking for something to store them in that will allow me to keep them organized such as with a make up organizer.
Most of the make up organizers I have found though are divided into cubes that are little to small (less than 1") which is just barely large enough for a 10/15 ml bottle and the 30 ml needs about 1-1/4 inch of size.

Thanks for any idea's!!

I don't have a specific suggestions, but I just started DIY myself, and am interested in the same thing. I've been looking at different craft organizers at Joann Fabrics.

If you do find something you like there, don't purchase it unless it's on sale or you use one of their weekly 40-50 percent off coupons.

This is $17 right now.

Thanks for the prompt reply and this is what I started out looking for but could not find anything that was suitable...so I went the "Makeup" organizer route and have come close...and actually found one item that someone mentioned he was looking to store his flavor bottles for his DIY ejuices...
Here's one I found but I am unsure of just how large the cubes are....but there are other's that have only the trays with no dividers that would work but I can see the bottles sliding back and forth but I think i can work around that with putting a stop at the last bottle to prevent the row from sliding!

Could use this one and put a stopper to prevent the unfilled trays from sliding!

I have one of these. Each small drawer holds 3 10ml bottles.
40 Bin Organizer with Full Length Drawer
Thinking on getting one or two of these too. 20 Piece Poly Bins and Rails
I had the caboodles make-up case but outgrew it quickly.

Looked at some of these drawers as well but it looks as if most of these will not hold the 30ml bottles...I use a fair amount of 30ml bottles and wanted to be able to have them all in the same place...
Thanks for the links...I had forgotten about Harbor Freight!!

I like that because you can see everything. Even if things sit upright in a bin, you have to pick them up to see what they are. Thank you for the suggestion!

Yes the ability to see and easily remove and replace the bottles is why this is so attractive....
The one I think I'm going to go with has a side container on it that would allow me to keep my current printed inventory list in as well as maybe my favorite recipes in for quick and easy access.
Also I can print labels to put on the front/sides to help me keep up with the flavor category...beverage, fruit, desserts.
Hahahaha..my wife beats me up about being so .... about being organized...but that's just the way I like it!

I use these, work very well. I have a wide 3-drawer Rubbermaid cart on wheels, I can fit 2 of these in a drawer. 2 drawers of flavors, 1 drawer for lists, labels, bottles, all the etc. stuff.

Sweet....have not thought of the cart on wheels...but that would be awesome....thanks for the heads up!!

Thanks for the prompt reply and this is one I have in my vape list as a possible go with.
I think I can come up with something to put into the trays of the less than full ones to prevent the bottles from sliding when/if I have to move the display..which I will be doing often!
Amazon has some that hang. Wrought iron style, & if you scroll & page through there are clear ones that hang. Could hang inside a panty or closet door if you don't want the in view. Search for nail polish rack.

I looked at those but I opted for the free standing type which will allow me to move it around when needed. I generally mix in the kitchen and store in a spare bedroom so mobility is a must!

Thanks for the heads up!!

Maybe you could show us your organized DIY setup, so we can be inspired. :) I might start feeling like my shoe box isn't enough.

Hahahaha....yeah my USPS Flat Rate Shipping Box has about worn out its welcome....

This is the one I looking to order if I don't find something else in the next week or so....Fasttech has an awesome number of displays but of the 25/30 they have none really work for me as they do not have enough holes to hold my 30ml bottles....they have several that have slots to hold 30ml bottles but they are on stands that have 15/20/25 slots as well which would make a lot of empty slots....so I'm still going to look around another week or so before I other this one:

Mine will hang inside a closet. I will pull what I need for a recipe, put in a bowl or something to take to my desk for mixing & then put them back. The closet will smell great!

It looked good but I just like to have my inventory right at hand....for me it's just suits me best.

Hahaha...this wonderful hobby is like all...there are many ways to do it!! I love that there are so many ways and so many who enjoy sharing the who/what/when/where/how!!

Thanks for your input!!

I'm so broke from buying DIY stuff, I made a flavor organizer from the box my last shipment came in.
Inexpensive and functional. ;-)

Hahahaha....what are the odds....I use a USPS "All you can pack" box I picked up to mail some stuff and wound up using it for my "Vape Station".
Never expected to see anyone else being so furgle!! LOVE IT!!!

I like the way you use the top for the divider slats....maybe I'll pick up another one to just use for my flavors!!!

Thanks for sharing!!

Lol. This actually works pretty well. I can grab any bottle without knocking over the rest, which has been a problem in the past, and the slats let me keep them categorized to some degree. I stuff tissue in any gaps when I'm moving it around. Ghetto fabulous all the way. (And more money for wine)
