Is this a messy/cluttered hobby/addiction or what?

I just bought another BIG cigar box ~ I love those things! ~ It's 10"L, 7 3/8W and 6"D. I just bought a stash of 36mg/ml unflavored VG, in guess this: 500ml bottle, plus plain mixing VG. That's huge, really good deal from Intellicig UK. Hope they fit in this:

I think it's appropriate for re-cycling to non-tobacco products! I will change the latch with a small key lock. The kids know not to mess with Gramma's Nic, but just to make sure.
Moonbeat, thanks for the link for bottles, I see they also have shrink wrap for bottles, want some of those. The kids, again. Makes me nervous the thought of one of them "snooping" ~ did anybody ever do that as a kid? I looked in my aunt's medicine cabinet once, I had to use a chair, don't remember how old I was. She had something in there that looked like chocolate, so I ate one! It was a laxative! (I didn't know that at the time, I couldn't read!) Holey Moley, I was running for two days.

I love the little 3 ml bottles, and I think I'm going to order some of the 6 ml, that I got from US Plastics. I keep them lying down and so far none have leaked. I made a mistake and ordered the white last time and they can be a pain to mix in so I'm going to make sure I order the clear/natural next time. I like having a lot of flavors to choose from during the day and they fit perfectly in the 6 slot USB card carrier I got from Office Max. Office Depot carries them too, but Staples doesn't for some reason. The pockets hold 2 3 ml bottles (though I have a 10 ml tall bottle in one with a 3 ml beside it and they fit fine) Even with carrying extra batteries for my Adaptever and extra attys and carts I have room to carry 8 different flavors. It works fantastically to facilitate my indecisiveness :). I keep it on the table next to where I sit to watch tv or on my desk when I'm at the computer and I no longer have bottles rolling everywhere when the cats run over the table. It also fits perfectly in my purse and when it's zipped close an assembled e-cig fits down the seam inside (even my Adaptever, though when I get the sleeve to add another battery I'm sure it will stick out the end). I'll get hubby to help me post a pic when he gets home tonight since even though he showed me how I can't remember how to do it.

mbolackGo to ebay and search cigar box, the other night there were 7 or 8 pages of auctions, every size you can imagine. Those big ones are hard to find, the one I showed is a 'double' wide, and 6" deep, so really a lot of room. I paid $15 for that one + shipping, priority mail was $15.65, kind of a lot, but would imagine you'd pay more in an antique store for it.
Love those things, the more labels and tax stamps the better.

I'd love to see that Moonflame! Do you think the "slots" are small enough to hold that new e-Dobit that Moobyghost was reviewing last night? (if you did't see it.... http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...-8pm-est-tongiht-i-have-exclusive-review.html ) I'm the indecisive type myself!;)
 
I'm partial to the 3mls myself, very portable. I did make up a 30ml batch of fruit punch though when I used up most of my juicyliquid 6mg nic. I bought 36 and 24mg nic this time so it'll go further.

Kelly, If you're doing what I think you're doing by cutting higher stregnth, diluting it to lessen the nic mg's are you not also cutting the flavor by the same percentage? I thought the same thing, dilute a 6mg by half to make a 3mg stregnth but realized the flavor would dilute as well. I've noticed some flavors are "kick ..." right out of the bottle and others you have to almost "imagin" the flavor. I've been dropping 1 drip on to the atomizer to speed up the transfer from the previous cart flavor... some odd combo tastes can emerge. What R UR thoughts? Thanks, sd

Sometimes Staples puts them in the camera accessories section (they're my face office supply store, even though they have a strange organizational layout).

I buy mine unflavored and mix my own, I have flavors from Capella's, Lorann's, and Faerie's Finest for the purpose so no loss of flavor. Oh and I don't buy my VG from an e-cig store I get it from health stores, the e-cig stores are charging .10-1.50 more per 30ml.8-o

I haven't gotten a chance to get hubby to help me upload a pic of the bag, but Walrus has a pic of it on his Bottles and Kit thread. And the E-dobits would definitely fit. By looking at the size of them in the video I would think you could easily fit 3 or 4 in one of the slots.

Sunday, Did we welcome you? If not, Welcome to the Women's Room and ECF! :D
I have been off line for a couple of days..except to post here and there. Has any one tried the 2 hole lipstick holders for 10/15ml bottles? I use mine when out side the house. The short fat 10ml..are a tight fit as are the 20ml, but the taller slim 10/15ml fit fine.

Hi womans room :)

I have been re-purposig everything in my house over the last week for e-gig supplies and storage.

My mum got me a set of hat boxes last Christmas, so the largest one is now holding all of the supplies :) (no kids in the house, and only caged pets, will lock everything in a cupboard when hubby is drinking ;) )

and to keep everything safei n my handbag, I have managed to turn a leather glasses case into a pv case, I took out the packing from the box my titan came in, cut it to size, leaving the holes in place, painted it black and stuck it in, I can keep a full cig, spare battery, spare atty, spare cart and 2 5ml bottles of liquid in there, and nothing moves about so nothing can get damaged :D nothing like a bit of DIY!
