TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO funny :)

to answer your question,,,,,,YES!

I'm looking at a box full of: old cartos, extra batteries, drip tips, etc etc,,,,,,,sitting next to five different juice flavors and 2 charging batteries (connected to the wall)

I can't help you with everything,,,,,

but the one "organizational" tool that's helped me the most is LABELING my cartos,,,,,nothing fancy,,,,,,,I print out the name of the juice onto plain paper,cut to size, and then tape it to the carto. The cartos, I keep in carto boxes (you can usually get these from free to 50cents where you buy cartos).

At least I know which is menthol and which is Juicy peach :) And the little boxes are easy to stash in purse or pocket and go :)

I haven't gone the route of mods.. am quite content with my cig-a-likes... though there will be more batteries in the near future. I hit one of our second hand stores a couple times a month and found a couple of pretty tooth brush holders that work great for battery stands. Ya never know what's going to light the bulb in my brain wandering around those stores.

LAUGHING...I am new and this is exactly what is going on...I feel like I am a slave to figuring this all out and questioning what I am doing. I found a big tackle box with all my stuff in it. I have in on a table in my basement. I DIY..or try to anyways and the whole downstairs smells sticky sweet with all the soaked tissues, q-tips etc... haha. I am thrilled not to be a slave to stinky's but now I am a slave to this entire new hobby. I hope as time passes this will not be such MESS but for now it is. Good stuff!

I'm over 50 - my inner neat freak left with my estrogen so I really don't mind the extra clutter. Have you gotten to the point where your vape supplies also include stickers, small scissors, vinegar, multi color sharpies and various and sundry little pointy things to clean batteries?
Is that what happened? My inner neat freak left some time ago as well :D

My DIY stuff has taken over part of the kitchen, I finally got a large box with different sized drawers in it for drip tips, drip shields, cartos, atties, tanks, adapters, q tips, tools, etc. Big stuff like bricks of cartos and big bottles of VG and PG moved to cabinet storage.

I use two chargers mainly, an Xtar 6 bay for anything up to a 18650 and a larger 2 bay for 26650 sized batteries. I tuck the charger for my Twists into one of the drawers, but the big ones stay on the counter. Unfortunately my meter has taken over a corner of the dining room table.

It's a good thing I live alone.

Oh yeah! I've got a small strainer from when I used to boil cartomizers to clean (good thing I had 2 in the kitchen), a tiny wisker to blend my diy concoctions, a manicure set with different size tweezers from when I used to try to fix vvn's and sundry clearos, toothpicks, plastic toothpicks with fish bone looking ends, cotton balls, cotton gauze, cotton yarn, several empty Starbucks glass bottles to shake diy juice when the wisker didn't work that great. The whole thing reminds of me when people used to have liquor bars in their house for parties. Don't know if I would buy a Winnebago for my vaping supplies, but a little e-cig bar would be nice in some corner of the room.

One of the favorite things I had seen for using was in a thread a few months ago and the person had gotten a train case. The nice thing with them is you can get different sizes, or one that locks if you have children around and they have them in so many different looks and designs.

You need this!!

E-Cigarette Accessories & Storage

I really want one! My cigar box isn't cutting it anymore. :)

I have that!!!! I love it :wub::wub::wub::wub::wub: I was going to post a link when I got to the end of this thread. ;). It holds a LOT of stuff and the caddy is perfect for my coffee table or desk. 30ml bottles fit easily in the bottom drawer of the station. I have no doubt that 60ml bottles would fit in that bottom drawer.

That is definitely a perfect solution! Now, I have to start saving for one LOL. It's a good thing I'm at the point of maintenance and not buying-buying-buying vape gear. I like both the box with drawers and the caddy.

Hi all,
Just got home from a wedding where I had to be gone most day. I'm proud to say I did not spill any juice on myself. My purse did not smell like the juice I took with me. Nor did I stealth vape during the ceremony even though it crossed my mind! lol Not really. During the reception I did wonder if there might be a wedding cake juice out there someplace.
I love that train case. And I had already realized that I should probably quadruple what I have now when thinking about storage. Or heck I could just give in and set it all up on my kitchen counter. I was thinking if it were out in the open and handy that one of those revolving spice racks might be very cool to store the different juice bottles on. Just a thought. I must think of a way to give it some ambiance. A work of art! Oh I like this. It really is fun!

Hi all,
Okay I'm still thinking of myself as a complete newbie but I seem to be picking stuff up faster than I ever thought I would. Orders coming, traveled to a brick and mortar just to see what stuff looked like in person. Ohhh... was that smell a burnt carto or my credit card melting? So do most new users end up with juice drops all over the place, q tips, tissues, little piles of equipment, tubes, cartomizers and atomizers half filled with something but you're not sure what. Chargers hanging out of every wall socket. You guys have any suggestions to help with how to corral all this stuff? Good storage ideas would be great. Where do you keep it all? Should I plan on adding on a room to my house or perhaps a laboratory? lol Would love some suggestions to help me get it under control. Thanks

I don't know about everyone else, but, yeah, same with me...I have kits stored away I don't use anymore. Maybe someday I'll give them away or something. I ordered some little stackable drawers from Wal-Mart to keep my stuff in.

Opal!! No I haven't but now I want to! Stickers? do you use Them to figure out what juice is in what cart/clearo or whatever? I already have a bottle of what I'm just going to call "the strange brew" where I just dump drops and dabs of whatever I can't figure out. I tried a sharpie but I had so much juice on stuff it wouldn't write on anything! lol

I went out and bought rolls of different colored electrical tape to distinguish my juices. put a little piece of color 'x' on a bottle and a little piece of 'x' on a t2. put a little piece of color 'y' on a bottle and a piece of 'y' on a t2, etc.....

You know that is awesome but if you didn't want to drill a hole in a desk I wonder if you couldn't make something to hold a bunch of them by drilling holes in a heavy wooden butcher board. Different sizes to accomadate all the different types of stuff. Easy to do. A few different drill bits, a little sand paper and you would have a portable filling station! Easy to label if you left a bit of space. So far I'm only familiar with cartos, clearos and those little plastic atty's that come with the ego-c. Intend to try them all eventually. It's my thought that they could all have a place or a use before it's over. Not to mention especially for me at least being so new I keep comparing them over and over to each other. As I said strange science going on for me. lol Thanks again everyone. Seems like every comment or suggestion is kicking off new ideas for me. You guys are great.
