After 4 months of vaping, I now have a collection of batteries, atomizers, cartridges, and juice.
I got a tupperware box and thought that it would fix the kluster.
It didn't. Now I have a boxfull of stuff that I have to dig through...

So I'm back to having several batteries, etc. laying around on the counter.

What do y'all do to keep things organized?

I made a joke a few days ago when I first started posting about needing a tackle box....it was just a joke. In the last week alone, I have collected nine batteries, ten atomizers, twelve juices....that tackle box is looking like a necessity. I have no idea how to keep this stuff organized AND, to make it more difficult, I want all of my supplies within arms reach in case I want a different flavor. At this rate, I think I will need a makeup train case, at least, to accommodate everything I will probably accumulate. :vapor:

I keep a minimalist collection in a smaller tupperware and put all my older stuff away in a cupboard. My wife gets at me too. Dont forget the juice is very poisonous if you have dogs or kids so make sure they cant get to it - I once found one of my half filled 5ml bottles partially chewed by the dog and I was shocked, hopefully what happened is he got a taste of the liquid and left it alone, but he could have swallowed that. Now I am extra careful.

One thing I no longer try to do is keep all of my "stuff" in one area. In the living, tv, and family rooms, I have pipe rack-humidor combos. The 6-pipe "rack" parts hold the batteries and/or assembled e-cigs vertically (no leaking if not empty) and the humidors contain a few of my main "go-to" vapes, carts, cartos, etc. An added bonus is that the seal of the humidor helps protect the potentially dangerous liquids out of the way of any curious, hungry, teething pets. Where I do most of my vaping and mixing (desk in the den) I have found that a medium-sized roll-top stationary/letter box works pretty well for me. Using an inexpensive stair-step riser type cupboard spice rack in the main section makes bottles and flavorants easy to find and the little stationary cubbies for envelopes, stamps, pens, etc. organizes the "paraphernalia." Again, the roll-top helps protect these items from curious animals as well as hiding them out of sight from you-know-who. I also have two 10x chargers to hold the additional batteries and attys in a nice, neat rows (which appeals to her obsessive sense of order).

May sound like a lot of cost, but humidor/pipe racks can be found at garage sales really cheap (seems a lot of people are quitting), and the spice rack and roll-top stationary box is available through mail order (or other places) at little cost. The most expensive items are the 10x chargers (about 25 dollars US each) but they do organize well in addition to keeping the batteries charged at all times (and keeps you-know-who off my back ;). oh, I also found a copper silent butler at a flea market that I keep in the dining room and it holds some batts, attys, carts, and small e-liquid bottles. Martha Stewart may not approve of my choices, but my wife loves the silent butler and feels the rest fits well into the decor - whatever that is :)..

Wouldn't work for everyone, but I didn't have the organization skills for a tackle box- ended up looking like my fishing tackle box in a few weeks... the one that makes it generally easier to buy a new lure than try to untangle one from the rest of the junk jammed in there.

I have a small plano organizer box and a small tool box I got from walmart! I use the plano clear organizer for everyday stuff that I use pretty often and the tool box for back up supplies! The clear plano was about $4 and the small tool box was $3 on clearance in the tool section! Also found a nice large wooden Nicaraguan cigar box from a flea market I use for my DIY supplies!

Made a trip to Walmart and looked at tool boxes, tackle boxes and craft boxes. I found the 14 inch craft box to be a perfect fit. The bottom area below the shelves is what I measured. It is taller in the craft box and will hold my upright 30ml bottles. There is a removable tray instead of the stacking trays like the tackle box. It cost around $14. Also it can be locked with a padlock, if needed. Works well for me, but have one problem, it is filling up very quickly!

I've got a Plano box for my juices and another for hardware and cleaning supplies. I also work from home quite frequently so have installed some extra shelving on my desk to keep all my DIY supplies and large bottles of PG/VG/etc. This keeps everything in one area which is dedicated to me anyway.

Well...

Hehe. My vaping supplies took over one of my counters in my art room. I have various containers on the counter (as well as using a couple drawers). I have a shelf unit for some rarely used items. A LOVELY tool unit (holds nails and screws and things) from Lowes that a friend bought me. It holds my attys battys cartos etc, all in seperate pull outs. A small drawer unit from walmart for chargers and mods. Some cigar boxes for my diy flavors. A couple of wide-mouth glass jars for empty bottles. A couple of tackleboxes for juices. Along with a few other oddball containers.
I feel fairly organized, but it gets messy real quick- so I think I need to reassess the situation.
