Okay,

Here it is. My semi-redneck "Man"-ified. That is if you like camo :)

I am notorious for overusing cardboard boxes, but Hey, it's functional and efficient So after looking around online and in person for vaping organizers, especially ones that weren't all flowery and feminine, I stumbled upon two invaluable items at Wally World( Wal-Mart)

Camouflage "Duck" Tape and Hard Foam inserts. The possibilities are endless and you aren't limited to cardboard boxes.

The insert in the elongated box was a bit longer than the box but once I cut off the additional length (do it with the plastic still on) I was able to make sturdy perfect fit holes for my glass flavoring bottles.

Just piloted the hole with an old burnt-out CE4 then expanded it with a drill bit. Voila! Perfect fit!

"Duck" duct tape- $3.50
Foam Insert- $2.80

Foam comes in all sizes and if you want to paint it or spray on something to add strength, that's easy enough to do.

I just salvaged some old metal cans with tops for my other little holders. Works really well and opens up the option of a basic large carrier with these individual item-holders.

Redneck,ehhh, maybe. They work though :D

If only it would all fit in such little boxes.

Wow... Looks like my supply - lol. I just ordered and received yesterday:

Amazon.com: Akro-Mils 10144 44 D 20-Inch by 16-Inch by 6-1/2-Inch Hardware and Craft Cabinet, Black: Home Improvement

and

Akro-Mils 10124 24 Drawer Plastic Parts Storage Hardware and Craft Cabinet, 20-Inch x 16-Inch x 6.5-Inch, Black - Amazon.com

So I can get some organizing done. I have been collecting stuff since Dec. 2007, and I have way too much stuff to find when I need it - hopefully this will help....

I like this one. If you have lots of stuff you will need more than one, but it suits my needs. I tend to find things I like and stick with them. Harbor Freight parts storage case ... $7.99 a pop ... 20 bins. It closes like a briefcase and has a translucent cover that allows you to see what's inside.

OK, that is pretty neat... Can you give me a general location as to where I could find that foam in Wally World? It looks like it would be a great help in the cheesy plastic drawers I use for my stuff.

The green stuff is just beyond sewing/knitting supplies ( where I get the yarn and embroidery thread for my rebuildable wicks) and you can get it in "stock white" just before greeting cards. Try to leave the shrink wrap on when you cut it to size, as it is less prone to deconstruct in the process.
Also when piloting the holes it's best to do it when it's in the box/container: same reason. :)

I have one of those in a deeper version so all my bottles sit upright. I really like it although I'm not really very manly:)

Well, with the ladies in mind, I was thinkin' that that tape can probably be found in feminine designs as well.....worth a little research, for ya ladies :)

I love that foam idea. It keeps all your flavors upright and you don't have to worry about leakage at all. Did you use a drill bit to make your holes or something else?

I found an old burnt out CE4 Clearomizer which worked to pilot the initial hole. Once I reached about halfway a 5/8" drill bit, pushed more than spun, did the rest.

It's important to mention that when doing this some exterior perimeter support is important. I left the polywrap on the styrofoam after cutting to fit the box, then inserted the block in the box and then, only after that, I began boring the bottle holes. I am not sure how styrofoam holds up under downward pressure.
