    Somewhere between here and there
    Here is my vape cabinet. I have DIY stuff on shelf 2, 3 and 4 although you can't see it. I have not transferred everything to it yet and I have a ton of dropins, mods and RTAs and RDAs, and coil making gear in my china cabinet and tv cabinet and kitchen island to put in here and more coming. Plus the DIY stuff on my kitchen island that I just got and more coming including another gallon of vg. By no means is this a finished product but I was in a hurry and I just put things in there right before the Christmas rush. Since I have 15 ml, mainly 30 ml, and a lot of 4 oz bottles of flavors, none of your storage solutions will work for me. Mom gave me an Amazon gift card for helping her at Christmas so I'm thinking of buying one more cabinet. One for gear and one for DIY. I will probably look for plastic bins or shoe boxes to organize my flavors and the bins will help if any decide to leak. Being in the basement will help the flavors as it stays cool down there. I'm still in mulling it over mode. Please don't laugh at me, I do enough of it for myself and I think I'm a little crazy. :lol: However, I stocked for life for the next 40 to 50 years. When it's all said and done, the amount of money I spent on stocking equals about a year's worth of smoking. But I have to get a handle on these flavors. It's not fun the way it is now.

    I know you have more to put in it but honestly it doesn't seem like too much to me. I'm afraid to put all of my stuff in one place. I've got a good size stack on case full of tanks that aren't in boxes plus six boxes of stuff in the basement and the 10-12 mods and tanks currently in use. I am curious as to what the coils are on the top shelf on the left side?

    I was thinking the same...doesn't look like all that much. Better get shopping.:)

    I was puzzled by this, as I grow Bergamot, and it has no fruit. Apparently, there is bergamot the plant (monarda or bee balm), and a bergamot orange, which is what is used to flavor the tea. Learned something new!
    Me, too: I knew bee balm was monarda but never came across its bergamot moniker before.

    Those are both Vandy Vape mesh coils for the jackaroo tanks as well as Aspire Atlantis coils. The shelf is deep so there are a lot of them. I have tons more of the Aspire ones in other places that will go in here. If eightvape ever ships my order that they seem to have forgotten about, I'll have 100 more boxes coming for only $1. They were a penny for a box of 5 coils! I also have dropins for the vaporesso EUC and GT but just a few boxes of each that are not in the cabinet. I love my Aspire Atlantis tanks. And thank you! You make me feel better about my hoard. I thought it was reasonable as well. I also have extra chargers on the bottom that take up a lot of space and a gallon of vg on the bottom shelf. I'm leaning toward getting another cabinet. I love to be organized and right now I'm not. I'll take a final picture when it's all setup.

    I'm a lightweight compared to others in the stocking thread believe it or not. What's funny to me is I threw away or gave away all my 2012-2015 gear and I had one mod and one tank and I only bought DIY and dropins for the last 5+ years. Look at me now. :ohmy:

    If that's a small stockpile then I'm in big trouble!

    Six small bottles per drawer. Not bad for a 50 year old thingie. I have one more in the attic if/when I need it. Geez, I hope not! Need to make a black cover for the face.

    I've been using rta's so long that I don't know much at all about drop in coils except the zenith ones. I saw that sale but didn't know what if anything I had would fit those coils or if I'd even like them. I did grab a few boxes of the vaporesso gtccell coils and bought 15 of the ijoy exo rba's once I found out how many tanks they would work in. I think they were ten cents a piece when I got them. I've tried one in a Cerberus and it works great.

    I bought 3 of the ijoy exos but eightvape hasn't fulfilled my order yet. :glare: They were a penny each.

    I know the Aspire Atlantis tanks are old technology but I love them. They are consistent and great for me as I'm a DTL cloud chucker. Dropping in a coil fits as I'm very busy all the time. I have multiples now. They have never bothered me. But I bought a geekvape zeus x dual coil tank and I like it, but it has given me a cough. I just need to fiddle with it and maybe lower the wattage.

    I have two of the zeus x but just didn't take to it very much. I've set them back for storage in my stash. I still prefer the original zeus rta single coil and stocked up on those as much as I could. I contacted geekvape support and have 13 top caps on the way for spares.

    I have multiples of the single coil zeus as well just haven't tried them yet. It seems like there is another geekvape rta I bought but I can't remember what it is. Maybe it's the dual coil that isn't an x? I dunno. I really love geekvape gear and most of my stuff is geekvape.

    I have an entire box plus more of just geekvape stuff. I bought a lot but got some free also by doing reviews. I ran the zeus dual for a while but have never been a big fan of dual coil tanks. I think I only bought one of those. About the only dual tank I used for very long was I think a crius. I do however like the dual coil tengu rda and bought a couple extras of those.

    Nothing wrong with some of the old technology at IMO. I love my Aspire coils and well as the much newer Z-coils.

    I’m thinking about getting those. Will they hold 30 ml bottles? I’ve heard both yes and no. I’m mulling it all over. When I go to the thrift store I always look for a cabinet. Nothing yet. My flavor stash has grown quickly. I’m going to spend some time on my vaping gear and DIY this weekend to figure all this out. I’m trying not to clutter my upstairs with stuff as I like it very simple and uncluttered.
    https://www.amazon.com/Weiyi-Organi...ts+and+2+Toe+Separators&qid=1578424514&sr=8-1

    Each case on Amazon that you view will list the size of the individual cells as well as over all size.

    Every bottle has an individual compartment, size is 1.58*1.38*3.75 inches. The 3.75 in is from the inner top of cell to bottom of each cell.
    Original ones I found last year and the year before measured almost 4"(3.9ish).

    If you could measure the bottles you want to store in them it will help to pinpoint which direction you may want to go.

    :)

    I pulled out Pops’ NETs to try.... Not at all what I expected, especially as someone who doesn’t like tobacco flavors.... it’s just....Lovely!!! Can’t describe it, but really,really good. Almost like tasting the aroma of pipe tobacco. I had to put it down for a bit, vaped too much too quickly and gave myself a woozy nic brain. But, oh so worth it!! Thank you, @PapawBrett :wub:
