Recently Decided to Organize My Flavor Bottles.

[Sonar505]

Recently thanks to quite a few DIY recipe posters I discovered FA flavors. So placed an order for 33 FA flavor samples from eliquid mart then after trying them and finding more recipes I wanted to try. Placed and received a 2nd order of 35 bottles. For me It became a pain in the ... to try and find the individual flavor. Pick up read no!,Pick up read No!, etc, or worse take all out the box and play dominoes with them while on the table. I decided there had to be a better way and set out to make one.


I don't know if you are anything like me but this is what my DIY shelf looked like before.

And this is what it looks like now!

I made It to accommodate the FA flavors I have now and allow for future growth. I was also able to put them in Alphabetical order and read the flavor name for easy location. (Added benefit Lorann's 1 dram bottles also fit)

Over the past few years I had also accumulated quite a few wizard lab samples (which are even better at mimicking dominoes). And since I plan to continue to use them either individually or in combination with FA. I decided to make one for them.

Here is how it looks like now when I mix a eliquid recipe. I have the wide mouth jars for my NIC,VG, PG, and Premixed Base. (easier to get the last little bit and no tipping).

And here is a pic of the final results.



​

Both racks are hinged (makes them more stable when opened) and have a latch to keep closed when put away.


Thanks for reading. Hope you like.

That is quite a nice spread you have there. I don't dare let my wife see this setup as she will get after me to clean up my mess

Now I have e-juice envy

Thanks Sonar , I now feel ill prepared , must order more eliquid or DIY , or both

This is some good motivation for me to build something similar this weekend. Thank you.

Very nice! I need to make something like that. That can go right on to my list of things to do when I have some spare time. (With kids and work... I should have that done by 2016 )

That is some impressive work - ping jockey!

My dad, and both grandfathers were carpenters. The only nail I was ever able to hit consistently was the one on my left thumb.

I glanced around at some of your other (earlier) creative posts. I like what you did to retire your multimeter.

I suggest you consider adding these creations and accomplishments of yours to you signature - as blogs. Not so much for the ego swelling effect that blogs can have on us, but primarily because these are things many folks would benefit from reading and seeing in the future. The average lifespan of a thread on this forum is about 48 hours and is seen by about that many viewers... Then, lost forever...

Just my 2¢...

Sonar505 those wood cabinets are the bomb. I love the idea. Do you think you could throw up some dimensions, did you buy wood the correct size or did you need to rip them to size, what size dowels. Really anything to help us out. They are exactly what I have been wanting but all of my ideas have been way more complicated hence why I still keep everything in cardboard boxes. TIA

Disorganized Organization, Organized!!!!

I love organization- it leads to productivity.

Well bowled good sir

Ok. Im jealous! ! I hate having to pick up a hundred different bottles to find the one I'm looking for. Ive got my flavorings in those plastic shoe box looking containers. I MUST figure out how to build something like this. Thank you for posting pics

 

[Boletus]

Very nice indeed. The fact that they could be locked would be a big plus for anyone with kids. Did you use thin wooden dowels for the bars that hold the bottles on the shelves, or painted metal rods?

I'd be very keen to see the plans you used (if any). That just looks awesome.
I have pour out all of my flavorings onto the table and arrange them each time

I need to make something that is portable. I like to take my show on the road lol

 

[DebiK]

Love.this!

 

[rowdyplace]

I would like to hear other's approach to this common "opportunity".

Come on, let's Show and Tell!

 

[Stacy1]

I'd be interested in buying a few of these and they don't even have to be that fancy. I'm making juice today and I spend more time trying to find the flavors I need than I spend mixing!

I have juice and organization envy!
And I gotta learn DIY....
Very nice Sonar

 

[Spazmelda]

Love those! I wish I had the skills and tools to make something like that.

 

[chopdoc]

Very nice job on your racks!

 

[MoxieFireheart]

I totally want...and wish I had the tools/space to do it myself!

Fantastic job!
