Strange science going on... yikes!

[Sonso]

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

Funny post. this sounds like all of us when we are new I finally got a craft box and a smaller one with compartments to fit inside it and a shoe box and some of the kitchen counter I think everyone stores it in different places but adding on a room might be a good idea too! lol

A motor home with a generator parked in the yard would be a good start to hold your vaping supplies. As an added bonus it's portable.

Of course that's because you can't dig down in FL. Here in Michigan a preppers underground lair is the way to go.

LOL'D!! Yes this was me when I first started vaping also. I now have a place/case for pretty much everything, so it's all tucked away nicely. I recently started doing DIY liquids and the same problem again but on a larger scale with bottles, pipettes, syringes all over the place. I am going to find myself a big plastic box, maybe similar to a tool box to store all my liquids safely in one place, and also a plastic tray (maybe an unused cat litter tray) to work on when mixing liquids.

My wife was gracious enough to "give" me a cabinet drawer in the kitchen. I keep my everyday supplies, APV's and meter in the drawer and also have a cabinet in the hallway for everything else.

I found a lovely box at Bealls outlett - with an insert to make it *two story* that holds a lot of my stuff. Juice.. batteries.. back up delivery devices - though. yes, there are chargers hanging out everywhere. That probably won't change.

Oh man this is making me laugh! I'm getting the feeling that my days of being a bit of a neat freak are over. That motor home suggestion! I instantly thought of Breaking Bad! I love this. I may have to consider renting a storage unit, climate controlled of course! The other thing I having an issue with is if you're going out of the house for the day do you need to rent a u haul just to be safe? I had my maiden voyage yesterday and I gotta tell ya it was a mess by the time I got home!

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?

 

[Sonso]

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

 

[metro3pilot]

LOL I know that feeling

 

[opal]

yep.. that's what the stickers are for.. juice ID. I've gone WAY overboard with flavors and have over 35 vessels (carts.. clearos..nanos) with various juices in them - of different nicotine levels and have discovered that my memory also went awol with my estrogen so not only do I need stickers - I need write on stickers!
It really doesn't help that I'm sampling juice from different vendors (3 different butterscotches .. lots of different coffee flavors etc) and color coding just doesn't fly.
I also have the freak juice bottle.. the mix of whatever from when I emptied a couple things to test other flavors (before all my backup and extra gear arrived)
odd thing is that I was a light smoker.. half a pack a day was a lot for me and then it was the ultra lights.. but vaping.. ALL DAY! so I have a bucket load of no nic juices .. just cuz!

 

[Sonso]

Opal... I don't have any estrogen left either! We differ though because I was a hardcore chain smoker of 49 years! This vaping is a blast though. Wow... did you see what I just said? I used the words "WAS a chain smoker". I am still in state of elated shock over that! I figure when my sense of smell returns I will start a thread to find out how to get the tobacco smoke smells out of my house. But not yet! I'm far to busy shopping for new juices to go there. I will think of vaping as duel purpose, a nicotine replacement air freshener.

When I go out I try to keep things minimalistic, a small smoking case from wolf productions, not designed for e-cigs but works well and is slimline, with two 901 fully built up DSE 901-T's. If going on a long trip I take a larger case with the same kit but with charger and extra liquid, and maybe my Riva 901 battery for hotel room.

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

 

[classwife]

Hehe...y'all are just starting...

 

[mre777]

I use the little label stickys from the office supply section and I DIY juice so I took a few of my standard size bottles to the sporting goods store with me and found a nice big tackle box with loads of compartments to keep everything organized.
I also have a little tool box for my rebuildable supplies and tools that sits under my couch.
And a big tin I got from I don't know where for miscellaneous empty bottles and parts.
And little hobby organizers for batteries
Another tin for stuff I dont use anymore but don't want to throughout
A few of the eGo zipper cases for traveling supplies.
A nice wood box for juice that needs to steep.
Currently looking for a rack to hold tanks and 510 stuff that doesn't like to stand up on its own
Everything has a place but still stuff is laying around, its all about containers and Michaels and Hobby lobby are your friend (also tackleboxs)

 

[Br0kenRabbit]

Ahhhhh a tackle box for DIY supplies is a perfect idea.. Time to raid the garage

 

[Sonso]

A tackle box! What a great idea. Wow thanks guys for all the great suggestions. I have to go out of town today for a wedding. I will not take too much stuff. I am a minimalist at heart. Just going to have to calm down a bit and get control! (not) lol

 

[mooreted]

Boy, I really need to re-organize. I can barely see my desk. There are little bits of PV parts and juice bottles everywhere.

ahhhh.. another WANT! but my box is so pretty... has flowers and butterflys on it.. muted rose color with metalic gold scrolly things on it.. hinged.. leather handle (in that muted pink color) brass hardware closure - I have to motivate and take a pic.

This is one of those times when I almost wish I had gotten a cell phone with a camera.. my phone is just a phone! yeah!
