table top bottle holders for mixing?

[jwoode]

I'm getting into mixing my own juice and I find that I have a tendency to.. knock things over.
It's not that I'm awkward so much.. it's just that my hands are quite large.
I'm just a real big guy.. 6"5" and 235lbs.. and this is why I favor large mods.

This is problematic with working with small bottles and measuring tools.. and you would laugh at my attempts to rebuild coils.

I saw on a youtube video where this guy was mixing e-juice and he had this round tray with what looked like foam rubber with cut outs to hold bottles. There sat all his bottles firmly planted on the table while he worked with them.. I could really use something like that.

Any ideas on where to get something like that?
If not, then I might make something out of wood.

I saw that video of the foam in the tin lid thingy also....been pondering making that and found these mixing stations here...sold out of all but the big one but a great idea.

Hey.. I'm glad someone else saw that video.. I couldn't find it again when I went back to look for it. Those that you linked look pretty good though.. and it figures they sell out on them.. but just looking at the picture, I do think I could make one like that.

Thanks

Now that's not bad either.. plastidip sounds like something an arts & crafts store would carry.

Cheaper though through automotive, or home supply stores. Ive found small size cans at my local auto paint for 2.79

We use plain ole, cheap styrofoam (around 3" thick)...just cut it into pieces and shove the bottles into it 'as needed'. Whenever a piece is 'full of holes', we toss it and grab another one.

OP, what a great thread -- thanks for starting. I have a few scrap of foam I've been eying but can't think of a good way to make cut-outs short of an exaco knife; drill bits would just shred. I like the plastidip (and we get a choice of colors... )!

(and regardless I'll still use a tray underneath.)

I've thought of making something like this out of a box that was bottle sized. I've seen some test tube racks on Amazon that would work well and pretty cheap.

Got a The Container Store new you? Check out things like lipstick and nail polish trays. Bring along the largest bottle you need to fit so you can check to see what suit your needs, and your bottles.

I do know what video you're talking about. He mentioned in the comments that it was packing foam, cut with a hot wire(Soldering iron with different attachment??)

He mentioned the tins were from a hobby store. I've tried looking for "packing" foam, but can't really find what that guy was using.

I use these for holding 10mL plastic bottles. Also for various filled atty's and anothercouple for my TFA 8mL flavorings.

I just grab a nice heavy socket from my wrench set. They vary sizes to ft all small bottles.

Anybody know/can find a link or post an image? I'd be interested in seeing what he's done.

Here is the video of the mad scientist bottle holder dude....he has it done to a fine art

I use old sample tins, perfect size to hold the flavorings.

Well I've been burning up Google looking at these ideas..

I found this today at FastTech..

$10.22 Acrylic 24 Hole Display Stand for E-Cigarette - each hole size: 24mm at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
also
$15.54 Acrylic 3-Tier 72-Hole Display Stand for E-Cigarette - each hole size: 16mm at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
might order a couple of these to look at.


these things come in many sizes.. I just wonder how stable they are.
I really did like the looks of those foam ones in the video, but I'm not sure how to go about cutting holes with a hot wire.

I'm glad I'm not the only one with knocking over bottle syndrome

 

[LoveVanilla]

Stability wise I would think those should be fine. I use the below for flavors and 15mg vial (i.e. samples). Just mixed/filled with ten vials in this rack with no problems -- worked well. Of course bottles are a different size/dynamic. And cleaning spills might be a pain.

Found it at HD for $6.98 for a 14.5oz can. Some folks use it to dip their tools in for better grip.
