I Have now scores of little bottles (empty and full), extra attys, e-cigs, batteries, and all sort of other related junk that I would like to keep organized and not allover my work desk.

I tried looking for plastic organizers, but those that would work are usually not tall enough for some of the bottles with the cap.

What have you guys done to organize your vaping supplies? Ideally it would be something that doesn't look terrible, it's easy to get to and that can separate different items of the same kind.

I have 4 of these...

this would work well too...as you see I'm partial to keeping my stuff from moving...Aint pluck foam grand...
plenty tall and the foam you can cut to custom hold your juice bottles/mods/modding tools...and the loops on the lid will hold juice bottles...don't have an ego or any tube mods to see if they fit...

1 used to hold tools and when I started vaping well... it got conscripted...

I started out with one of these Plano boxes from Walmart:

Plano 3500 Size Tackle Box

It served nicely while I was buying mostly 5- and 10-ml bottles, but the boxes weren't tall enough for 30ml bottles on their sides. So, I upgraded to it's bigger brother, which I haven't seen locally but is available from Amazon:

Plano 3650 Size Tackle Box

In the 3650, I keep three 3500-sized Prolatch boxes in the top for pieces-parts and there's still room for more stuff if needed. Most of the four boxes in the lower section are full of e-liquids (30ml bottles fit nicely on their sides) and other pieces parts.

Getting to the point where I'm not constantly trying new flavors, the 3650 will be all that's needed for some time to come. Right now it's holding close to 700ml of e-liquids in various combinations of 5, 10, 20 and 30ml bottles plus a few 15ml hobby bottles with needle tips, and there's room for more.

Had I been lucky enough to get the gear I really needed and find the e-liquids I really liked the first time around, probably wouldn't have needed quite so much room, but it's nice to know there is space to take advantage of the next great e-liquid or cartomizer sale. :)

You can get the cryo trays (and tons of cart/carto storage options) at USA scientific and they are fairly cheap.

PP tip boxes have slightly smaller slots, best for carts, the others will be better for carto's.
50-place BestBox Jr., natural

This is a tip box I use for 50 carts (shown full of filled ones).

Here is what they look like full:

The cryo vial (shipping and freezer) boxes will fit condo'd carto's and tanks. They dont quite fit the cone atty's, but you can put them in upside down.

tip boxes fit carts, some will fit carto's with sleves. There is a huge selection here:
Polypropylene Laboratory Sample Storage Boxes from USA Scientific


Tube racks make great organizers just watch the diameter of the ones that you get, because they come in alot of hole sizes (wow, that sounded very adult video store lingo).
Microcentrifuge Tubes Racks from USA Scientific

Here is the one that is on sale for 3.95
81-place BestBox, neon red, inventory clearance
--ugh, sold out, but they usually have some on sale. and they hardly ever charge shipping.


Other than that, I got these "Parts organizers" that I use for juice. I dont like laying juice on the side, so these work great for me. They have trays that can be moved around for different configs. The smallest work great on 1-3ml bottles and the larger trays will hold 2x50ml bottles upright. They stand on end, but lay flat for easy access. IMG_20110606_174727.jpg

Since i mostly only vape at my computer desk, as i spend a lot of time there in the evening, and since my desk isn't very large (a small corner unit) I bought a plastic three drawer storage container from walmart. There are so many different sizes, you can choose whatever size you need. Mine sits right beside my computer monitor, and i use the three drawers for batts, carts, empty juice bottles, etc. It all fits in there neatly.

What I like most about it vs caddies you have to open from the top is that the drawers just pull right open and getting stuff out of it is extremely quick.

WhatAClumsyGirl posted this pic on her post, hope it is ok to bogart it as a visual...the three drawered container there is exactly what i have, looks same size too.

I'm fairly new, so I don't have THAT much stuff, but I use this from Hobby Lobby:

Craft Center Storage Cabinet

It's small enough to fit on my desk, and it comes with dividers. I don't have any bottles larger than 10 mL, and each drawer is deep enough to hold a bottle of juice with it's dedicated carto on the other side of the divider. It's also stackable, so I might just get another one when this on fills up, which will be very soon if I continue buying buying juice like a drunken sailor on shore leave buys drinks...
