Yeah, does it help to refrigerate your liquid? I have a mini-fridge in my dorm room that would work fine, it just never occurred to me... Huh...

I've seen a few people refrigerate their juice, so I figured as long as I had this mini-fridge sitting around doing nothing, I may as well use it. I keep it on the warmest setting.

Oh, too much fun to see.

My space looks like a hybrid of Wireguy and ShayDwight's... I'm a jewelry artist and I live in a tiny studio apt, so my dining table is my computer desk and my toolshed/workspace and my vaping equipment central. It's a delicate ecosystem that only looks like chaos to an outsider. ;)

Finally I bought a $10 Masterlock cashbox (deep coin compartments!) for a lockable storage space for my main equipment and nic liquids, and a big sturdy toolbox on eBay for my DIY stuff. Even that can barely hold back the tide.

You guys are all so organized! Well most of you.:D

My desk looks like, not a war zone, but a disaster zone.8-o And, no, I will not post a photo of it.

For those with large collections, have you considered a tackle box or tool box (each with the same multi-tier concept)?

[TIP: Confirm that the dimensions of the box and storage compartments will fit the batteries, atomizers, cartridges, juice bottles, etc. that you’re going to put into them.]

Haven't owned a scope in years, I was only part owner of the last one and I haven't really needed one enough to spend the big bucks. Seems like everything these days is just board replacement. I wouldn't mind having one just for the heck of it, hmm, Ebay maybe.

The only Fluke I have is a network tester. My multimeter's are my Dads IBM meter and believe it or not a Radio Shack meter. My Dads is older than me, I wouldn't doubt that it was 60 or 70 years old. The Radio Shack is one they only sold for a short time.

RS screwed up and sold a good one. It is German made and will log to a computer. I'm planning on doing some PV battery comparison test with if I ever find the interface cable. I know it's here, its just hiding among all the other cables.

Nice Wireguy, looks like my workbench minus the Fluke and Agilent 5000 O'Scope. I have a new respect for you.

Troubleshooting to component level was long gone a long time ago..lol. Although, I have have had to replace components in the field when I didn't have a good board, but did have a bad board with a good component, so the art isn't entirely useless.

Looks like everyone needs one of these...got thiis one from TJMaxx, but they make em bigger. On the box they call it "electronics charging station". YOU can use the part under the top try for the elect strip so its hidden or for storage;)

Heres my nitestand stash, the rest is MUCH like pianoguys, but I keep mine in the fridge and in a backpack bc I travel for work ...what u see here is my daily "what im using today" stash :)

BTW-the blue plastic things are batt holders, ones from a headache RX holder, the other ones from a teeth whitening kit-its awesome tho, holds 2 18650s and a cr123 or 18350! the other one holds a variety as well. the meds called "maxi mlt" i believe so if anyone knows anyone who uses it, ask them for the plastic thing it comes in!

99% of equipment is board swap. Troubleshoot to a board and swap it out. See what happens and repeat. i do some work on 60's and early 70's tech for the Dept. of Defense.

Here's the deal. I know I'm getting off topic. The govt. spends between 15 and 40k on a power supply that I could make for them for only a few hundred bucks. I just don't get it. i did my job and got out years ago. I'm sure it's still happening. So frustrating...

I know what you mean. I was an electronic tech in the army, and I remember having to special order two battery boxes, and they charged the army $485 per box, yet you can find a similiar item, that would worked, for about $3 at radio shack. Talk about wasteful spending.
