Ladies....How Do You Stash Your Stuff?

[NubeeResearcher]

Not happenin.....can't have my babies all locked up in drawers it just doesn't feel right I need to be able to just see everything at once, guess the sterilite 3-drawer is going back. Might have to take the plunge on a train case online that I can't see in person, unless I get to KMART and can find something....

I'm so disappointed I think I may be stuck with my cardboard box forever....I like that I can see everything in it, I just need a bigger one HEHE

Michaels and Walmart have some lovely keepsake cardboard boxes that are nice enough to leave out ...?

Thanks, I think there may be a Michael's in Staten Island, I'll check it out when I go there for the Kmart, lol. Meanwhile, at least trying the Sterilite I realized I could sell a bunch of stuff, put up one major post in the classies tonight http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/classifieds-swaps/238992-vapage-premium-v-mod-system-box-w-vapage-v-mod-la-carte-w-o-chassis-plus-extras-4-your-tube-mod-s.html Bump it up for me if ya don't mind!!!!

Are you referring to the bump? Sorry if I broke any "rules"...didn't know there were any. Can you point me to the link?

Nubee, Just a reminder, Liquid needs to be kept in a cool (not a refrigerator) dark place for the long run. I keep my 5 daily refill bottles in a open top wooden letter box but it is in my bookshelf that faces away from any sunlight. The rest is in my cardboard suitcase also on my shelf.

Speaking of Sterlite things, I keep all the presently using stuff in a Sterlite Tote tub box with lid ... it's the same size as a loaf of bread (which I also store in other Sterlite Totes) and so easy to use. It sits under my tv stand.

Sorry about the carto confusion earlier. I don't know how your cartos are made, but some cartos let us cut off the fluffy tube part, take out the atomizer, and reuse the atomizer as a regular atty until it too dies. (I hate wasting cartos just because the filler fluff got too old and wouldn't juice up any more).

I want to ask you ladies something about e-liquids!

I filled up a couple of cartos with my favorite mix of flavors.

I know it is definitely NOT MY IMAGINATION that it TASTED SO MUCH BETTER after sitting in the carto for about 24 hours.

It tasted so good, I could barely put it down!

(FYI It was Halo's Prime and Viking Vapors Mocha, Chocolate, and Turtle).

So, do you ladies usually let you e-juice breathe or anything?

Please fill me in on what's good!

 

[classwife]

liquids generally taste better after about a week after they were made. The carto you filled simply had enough time to get the liquid soaked good into it. Most people rush a newly filled carto and complain that it tastes burnt...well...yea...the liquid didn't wick through everything.

Ah ha!

However, I do usually let them sit for 5 to 10 minutes, and I sit them strait up so that the juice does wick down into the "BLACK HOLE".
LOL!

I wondered if it breathing (like a bottle of wine) was advantageous for the e-juices, because I gotta say that WOW is a good description of the flavor!
It wasn't even in the stainless dual-coil that I use on my pass-through! This was in a regular 510 carto on a 510 Manual switch battery.

A friend asked me just the other day about letting the e-juice breathe, should he leave the top off for a while.
Anybody got the 411 on this, please let me know!

I wouldn't recommend leaving the lid off. There's a potential for either spillage or for unknowns to enter the bottle.

 

[classwife]

anything left open is prone to bacteria...I just cringe when I see people posting to let liquid steep with the lid off....

Unlikely. If it has nic in it, nic alone will kill any living thing in it, plus PG kills bacteria.

 

[NubeeResearcher]

Thanks Classwife, sorry for breaking the rules.

Edit: I just broke a nail moving my cardboard box....LOL....perfect timing.

 

[Mary Kay]

The Nic will evaporate or dilute or something. I forget what...but it's not anything good...lol!

Hello classwife!

I read an article that said that the PG is used in hospitals & restrooms to kill bacteria and viruses via dispersion through the air.
So, I am thinking that you don't need to be cringing; you probably look cuter when you're not cringing anyway!

You say that you have seen posts that people wrote about letting the liquid steep with the lid off?
I'll have to do some more research on this topic.

I probably won't leave the lid off, but it would help explain why that e-liquid tasted so great!
Thanks!

Hello CES!

Thanks for your concern;however, my bottles are packed tightly into a roll-top desk drawer (close to the computer & my pass-through e-cig ).


As for unknowns, there are no unknowns in this house!:

 

[CES]

I can spill anything, anywhere. I keep all bottles tightly capped (and even that doesn't help sometimes )

I feel your pain!

So many experiences with the same problem!
