Twelve 30 ml bottles per row will fit the tiered racks. The nice thing about them is that you can read the labels. The rack I linked to is different than mine because it uses 2 screw for each row. The ones that I have has a triangular side plate which could be removed allowing it to lay flat while holding the bottles at an angle. I bought mine on Amazon. I’ll look for ones made like mine.
The smaller ones are tiered also but labels are not as easy to read.
I haven’t found anything that will work with 60 ml because they are too tall. I have a flavor fridge. I put my 60 ml and larger bottles in the door so that works for me.
Do have a rough idea of how many 10ml or 15ml bottles would fit per row? I don’t have that many 30ml or 60ml bottles. They could always sit in front or off to the side (or wherever they fit in the drawer). LOL
My main concern is organizing them by brand, then flavor. Like you pointed out, I’m going to need to see their labels to do that.
I have 17 ten ml bottles in one row. More would fit if I staggered them but I like to read the labels and find what I’m looking for. It kind of drives me nuts having to search for what I want so that works for me. I sort by maker and then alphabetize.
Drats, I was looking at those stands. Was hoping for 15ml as well.
And your idea about removing the sides on the other one to lay in a drawer is great. I have bottles laying in drawers at an angle but I made the supports out of folded cardboard. Your idea is more expensive but far less time consuming.
Well I just saw this now so Idk. Your post says it was written 4 hrs ago and my computer says it’s 9:20 pm now. You can use subtraction or you can use google to find international time zones. Looks like a 2 hr difference. Does that satisfy your curiosity?
In case it helps you:
In a cardboard box, I make some dividers, also with cardboard, glued with a glue machine … With a white marker, I write on the cap … I have several of those boxes … some better ones, but they are taller and take up more space …
I think you may have something there with the cardboard dividers. God knows I’ve got plenty of cardboard around from Amazon boxes. I could make my own version of that plastic grid thing I first linked to that was too tall.
My bottles look different from yours. Mine have clear pointy caps like the three bottles that are three rows from the right toward the bottom. I’ve been putting 1" masking tape on the caps. I write the brand abbreviation on the pointy part and the flavor on the wider section, if that makes sense.
Since my bottles are still all in a box, I don’t know if the labeling I’ve done will be visible lined up like you have yours. I hope so, because I think something that displays them at an angle would take up more space.
I get amber glass from various suppliers (never get them as an option when ordering nic online - they can have a £6 mark up). They cope well with freezing but will shatter when heat is focused on one point. I learnt that when trying to melt kanthal into glass for a custom blend.
Most people use amber glass bottles (some use clear) when storing their Nic in the freezer. Topping with Argon is also a preference for some to drive out any oxygen from the bottles to prevent oxidation of their Nic. Whichever glass bottles you use, I suggest you choose ones that are topped with polycone caps for better sealing.
If you do a search on here for Nic storage I’m sure you’ll find more on this topic if you’re interested. There may even be links to where people get their bottles. I ended up getting mine on Amazon. That’s also where I got my Argon, Bloxygen. Argon is discussed in those topics, too.
EDIT: I would recommend against storing base in the freezer. Leave PG and VG in their original containers and store in a cool, dark area. If you bought gallon-sized bottles and need something for working with, you don’t need glass, amber plastic is fine.
Absolutely fine @ladycrooks. I have two medical freezers PACKED with glass.
TWO THINGS to keep in mind. The quality of your TOPS/SEALS is going to be something to keep an eye on. Possible ziplock bagging up the glass bottles JUST IN CASE, never a bad idea either.
I’m pretty sure we talked about this, but just in case we didn’t. Leave an AIR GAP in all your NIC bottles to allow for expansion/contraction.
I had been using Amazon bottles and caps for years, most were from GBO. Recently I stated having issues with the tops cracking/breaking, and I switched brands, and never looked back. For reference, this was for bottles of NIC in -30F freezers, so we may not be taking apples/apples.
I had (past tense), a large supply of amber glass bottles from Amazon (GBO) ranging from 30ml up to 500ml. The caps appeared to be getting thinner and thinner as I made continued purchases, and I didn’t give it much thought. When breaking down my last gallons of NIC, I had some caps split and break, and I knew I had to change suppliers. Found a much more “scientific” brand, on Amazon for an increased price, but a far superior product.
I could make my own version of that plastic grid thing I first linked to that was too tall.
