How do you store your tanks?

I like the wood look better.

I just checked it out, I like that little build stand too for $8. For someone like me, it might be worth throwing eight dollars at :woman_shrugging:t3:

I found this wood tank and drip tip container that holds a max of 12 22mm tanks. It has the holes for the connectors to sit in. Thereā€™s a compartment underneath that you can put drip tips in and replacement glass.

My Thoughts exactly on the pin, swab , allen holesā€¦
@Coop3 Ive been using Magnetic strips that mount with 2 to 3 screws. but you can only use metal. scissors, flush cut, coil jig etcā€¦ Love the pins idea! so necessary.
i cant live w/out my pocket screw driver, mini fiskers, paper towels ( ripped into 1 inch strips) and my ā€œinflatable bedā€ pump. <ā€“AWESOME for a quick rinse and dry off of tanks coils ā€¦Anything!
but your wooden set up looks asethetically pleasing! nice

Thanks Damon, on the same side as Allens I also have a 2.5 and 3mm jig, straight & phillips screw drivers plus a pair of hemostats which are always coming in handy. Center has a pair of tweezers. I used to use paper towels but now use a rolled up klenex cut in half to wipe out drip tips and trim as needed. Rotate a couple wash cloths folded into 1/4s for just about every thing else that needs a wipe or clean up. I regularly use 12 RTAā€™s for my regular e-juices and then pods for out of house activities so each tool gets a lot of use as almost everything has a RTA coil.
Speaking of coils, I mass produce them and store them in my wifeā€™s old makeup sample jars based of shape and diameter just to make it easier to change them out when needed. When I make them I use a coil master case of tools but that is only once or twice a year. Last but not least if you remember back around 2010 or so the first vape devices came out in preloaded cigarette style pens. Each one had a silicone cap covering the tips. I now use those silicone caps to cover my preferred style drip tips for most of the tanks after cutting them down a little. Okay way too much info so Iā€™ll stop now.

I just organized most of my Coilturdā€™s an RDA for Vaping stuff. I get these little tackle box things. They come in a zipper case thing that looks similar to a cooler. Ozark trail is the brand I believe. Iā€™ll just post a photo:

They come with 4 little plastic cases inside. I also have medium sized ones and much larger ones like this:

Those bigger ones hold a bunch of my mods.

Anyways, hereā€™s my RDA for Vaping caps (in a small Ozark case), and a few decks etc:

The zipper pockets come in handy too. Iā€™m pretty happy with all of them.

I recently just found that Kleenex is much more absorbent in that sense. Like ill wipe a drip tip out and it looks like I didnā€™t even wipe it out w/ a paper towel.
I had to laugh at the cloths in Ā¼ā€™s. itā€™s so funny I think a lot of us are alike I literally have washcloths(actually being a mechanic I have white Home Depot rags clean of course) folded into Ā¼ā€™s and then clipped to my ladder style rack that I keep my juices on for a quick wipe LOL. One of my main issues is all my stuff is too spaced out but I did organize the juices to a degree with a recommendation from Ladycrookzā€¦ The nail polish holders although they donā€™t hold the big chubby gorilla bottles very well thatā€™s what a torch is for and a heat gun can just melt it and expand it ā€œif it Donā€™t Fit make itā€!

i had to re reply! totally NOT TMI. i felt like you were explaining how i do EVERYTHING! i organize my organizationā€¦hahah! i wanna get into Rtaā€¦like one i dont have to drip every 4 mins. i m too OCD for removing caps cause i d have to clean them too. any recommendations on rtas or rdtas or whatever they are. But rtas are the ones inside the tank? And rdtas are the ones with the deck up top that the cotton falls down into the juice if Iā€™m not mistaken. I had a Kanger sub box it was a squonk I think it was my third device and I liked the squonk part of it but I didnā€™t get it yet. Plus it was a Kanger so yeah moving on:-)

Hey DaMon (for short, no -)
Comment mentioned management of your large gorilla bottles. Iā€™m going to assume they are 120 ml bottles just because that is what I mix up for my main daily e-juices. I use (12) different flavored e-juices and have a RTA for 11 of them plus 1 Geek Vape Aegis squonker for a menthol. Each E-juice goes into a brown glass 120 ml bottle for steeping of one month even though some donā€™t need it. Once I need to start using them I switch each juice to 1 60ml dark glass, 1 30ml dark glass and 1 30ml plastic bottle for filling tanks. Wash each after empty for next use. The idea here is to keep the unused juice as air free as possible and kept out of light for flavor retention. Glass bottles go in a small refrigerator with my flavors, PG and VG. Nicotine in freezer. Attached picture shows my small 12x8 case holding the bottles. Plastic ones I use stay in bottom of a desk drawer in a old 4x8" plastic card holder with cover removed.

RTAā€™s I use are single coil because I donā€™t go above 21 watts anymore. Tried high wattage big cloud stuff and found it was just not for me. The brand names of the rtaā€™s are Silverplay, Geek Vape Ammit, Innokin Ares, Oxva Arbiter. The top air flow ones are the best for keeping juice from leaking out of air holes but that usually only occurs if I wicked wrong or cotton getting old. Most complicated but a great vape for me is the Silverplay.
Iā€™ve tried and own many others but have ended up using the above as my main RTAā€™s at home. when outside I tend to use pod devices at this point with higher nicotine %'s.
Best advise I can give is itā€™s always going to be a guessing game as to what you will like best until you try some. So many out there that it is hard to make a choice nowadays. Unfortunately you end up spending a small fortune getting to your favorites.

Man youā€™re like my hero . love how you break it down. And youā€™re so organized and concise with everything. I just started looking into the brown Amber Boston bottles (from Cape Cod, hour away ) so it sparked my interest.

I have been using The dark gray 120 ml chubby gorilla. Thatā€™s what my premix base was coming in.

But Iā€™m no longer buying that company. (Options super limited right from the start of this apocalypse in MA).

My credit card kept getting hacked, I couldnā€™t figure out why. 6X in 1Ā½yrs ā€¦ Stopped ordering from them wouldnā€™t you know itā€¦ No more hack. Its a well known company too I donā€™t want to put them on blast tho. Iā€™m almost positive itā€™s not their fault somebody they dealt with whatever.

Iā€™ve been making smaller amounts like 30 mils lately cuz Iā€™m one to say "okay I will make 120 ml recipe of something Iā€™ve never tried to do before":man_facepalming:t3:ā€¦

Now Iā€™m:

-starting smaller-simpler

-SFT

-getting fresh supplies from Bull City Vapors! Didnā€™t realize that the stuff I had was old from previously mentioned company not old but older aged and not in a good steeping type of way LOLā€¦

IIā€™m getting much better accuracy.

Made 5 juices last week that all hit the mark (two or even my own recipe I came up with.) Iā€™m so delighted!

Ever since ordering from Bull City Vapors, Bavarian Cream became this amazing wonderful tool from TFAā€¦ Bull City rocks :love_you_gesture:t2: :ox::cityscape::triumph::dash:

I love those little clear plexiglass stands they just look nice. My mother does sign work so I have a bunch of plexiglass scraps I bought a hole saw itā€™s not easy to cut all those holes! I give the people props that have the machines to do it for them haha. Looks good I like those little boxes they have something similar at the dollar store
