I''ve got a wee teeny tiny touch of the OCD here, and as I notice that my collection of batteries, tanks, tools, bottles, coils and what have you is starting to overtake a shelf.. I'm starting to desire some kind of tool box or craft storage box to pack everything into all tidy and nice like.

Does anyone else use such a thing and if so, what kind do you use to hold your goodies?

I got this off Amazon for 20 dollars. You could probably get better ones but it works fine for me and they have all manners of sizes and layouts.

For organizing my smaller bottles of flavorings (sample size to 30mL) and other DIY materials...I use a sectioned, plastic cases, with clear lids. They're made by Stack-On Products, co. and they're very sturdy! Shapes are rectangular (about 13" x 17" x 3 3/4" tall) and longer ones that aren't as wide that are about 18" x 5.5" x 3.5" tall. Some have movable dividers so you can customize the size of the sections. Others have bins in them that are also movable within the case. They're usually black and school bus yellow...sold at Harbor Freight Tools, Tractor Supply, etc. for anywhere from $9.99-about $14.99. When found on sale they're about $5.99-$11.99 each. I love mine!

(They could also definitely be used for storing/organizing small tools, rebuilding materials, a good number of tanks in your rotation, etc., too though. Not just for a mixing kit!)

Larger 4oz. and or 16oz. bottles of flavorings that I use to refill the smaller bottles and vials...are just stored in used Priority Mail boxes that vape mail has come in, and are kept in a dark closet.

For storage of tanks, small tools, coils, batteries, etc....it's hard to beat one of those metal and plastic storage drawer/bin type of things. They're not flat cases, like the divided/sectioned ones I mentioned above. These stand upright, and they're stackable. You can find them with 15 drawers, 30 drawers, 48 drawers, 60 drawers, etc. They're basically a metal outside frame/case with the bank of plastic, pull-out drawers. Room on the front of each drawer to put a label on it to indicate drawer contents.

I've got WAY too many new tanks, boxes and bricks of coils, etc. in my "stash" to use one of them for those. But for organizing a smaller quantity of those things that are in use frequently...they're ideal.

Welcome, Chipmunk!

Figure out what you need today..........then triple or quadruple that! Then be ready to go through the process in 6-12 months! :) :drool: :D

My gradual build up of storage space has led to:

I made my own vape stand:

I found this drawer insert that works nicely:

Then recently added this shelf for everything else that didn't fit elsewhere:

I've got another drawer filled with my DIY supplies, but too boring to post a pic. As you can tell, I like having all my vape supplies organized and within reach. :D

Ack. This is the bane of my existence. We're just two low-key people and a dog in a small one bedroom apartment (actually, for where we live, it's sorta big), but I realize that if we move, we really need, like, 5 bedrooms: one bedroom, one office (I work at home, and my "office" is now in the bedroom), one shop room for my husband (we now have one tiny utility room outside that has been repurposed for his electronics stuff and tools, and it's overflowing), one guest room ... and one vape room. Not for vaping, but for just keeping and organizing all the dang vape stuff and a building / mixing space. That would be heaven.

I currently have four drawers and two shelves, plus a VERY cluttered desk space that refuses to stay uncluttered for more than half a day, plus some boxes piled on the floor. I have most of my flavors separated into plastic containers in two drawers and the shelves, coil, cotton, mods, tanks, parts in two drawers and all over my desk. Juice in about six boxes stashed around, nic in freezer except for what I'm using, pg/vg in boxes on the floor. Flavors I haven't sorted / found room for yet in boxes on the floor. It's not ideal.

Storage sort of evolves - Storage Ideas | E-Cigarette Forum

I just took a new batch of vape-mess-in-progress pictures FTFOI
Maybe there are some ideas there for you

Oh altoids cases.. those would be good for small parts and coils and such.. Noted! I think I have a pile of those (I never want to throw them out IDK why..)
