Storing and organizing your DIY supplies?

I’ll say one thing, if the water level ever gets that high (Over 3ft to the bottom of the lower row) it’s very likely I won’t be around to worry about it…God forbid!

Well, I guess it’s your turn this time…lol

I better not flood. Jk. We’re in Seattle it really doesn’t rain like ppl think it does here.

I did however uncover the mixes with DW today. Oh and I haven’t tried them. They will probably be muted as all heck too.

Maybe not, were they 8%, or 5%. I am thinking we need to stick to 5% max DW. Steeping it at least a couple of weeks is helping a lot…I found all my bottles now too…

I think I ended up mixing some wrong and some too high. I remember us talking about one being 28% and the added pg basic makes it null n void.

After looking at them. It looks like one is only at a % that can really help. Oh well.

Do you have any ejuice go bad? This morning I made of list of all my ejuices that are medium or dark Amber in color, so… If any more become that color, I know it’s because they went bad. Today, I’m searching for info about this subject. How to preserve ejuice. I know it’s best to store it in the dark. Wonder if it’s good to refrigerate it or if it’s okay to add something to it to preserve it. The flavors I have that (I think) went bad are all from Mt Baker Vapor, and I bought them in March 2015.

I have a lot of juices that are the same in color. Depending on what’s used in the mix determines the color after steeping. It’s not bad… It’s well steeped. I suggest you try them for flavor… if its not muted then it’s not bad. I’ve heard some people vaping juice after a year.

I found a 30ml bottle of juice that had fallen behind my dresser 2 months ago. It was from my very first batch. It is very dark brown in color. Nearly black in color. It’s delicious. Don’t give up on them yet.

This thread was the first time I heard of using a magnetic mixing hotplate. Of course upon further research I found out just how expensive they are. @Chris21 gave us these great pics of his DIY version and since i’m not that savvy I searched for further instructions and found this, http://www.instructables.com/id/Magnetic-Stirrer-Hotplate-1/
Hope it helps those like myself who have no idea where to start to build one of these babies.
I’m ordering a scale tomorrow so I can mix by weight and the hotplate mixer will be my next goal. Thanks to everyone who shares!!

Seems quite a few people are using Etekcity® 0.001oz/0.01g Precision Digital Pocket Jewelry Balance Scale 500g type of scales they run about 12 dollars on ebay (I think that is where I purchased mine). Works very nice. 5 or 6 years ago I was going to make a stir plate for when I home brewed beer, main parts were the cooling fan from an old computer and the earth magnets from the inside of a old hard drive.

nice ipv! I love mine.

I was getting ready to mix up some juice so I thought I would take a couple pics of my set-up to share with ya. As ya can see I do most of my mixing on my coffee table in the living room.

The stands for the flavor bottles I built last weekend out of wood so I could get a little more organized. I drilled a bunch of holes for the 30 ml bottles and then made some inserts so the smaller bottles will fit in the larger holes without falling over. The bottles are placed in the same order as they are listed in “My flavor stash” so it’s easy to find the right flavor. I made 4 stands and each one holds 35 (10 or 30 ml) bottles.

The wood in front is where I put the concentrates for the recipe that I am currently making. The flavors that are sitting in there right now are for my Grilled Bananas with Ice Cream and Caramel recipe. After I add a flavor in the beaker I move it to the empty slot to the left. I usually get distracted while mixing so this way I can keep track of where I’m at and not forget to add one or even worse, add one more than once, which I think I have done a couple of times … lol.


When I’m done mixing everything goes into a tote and placed back in a closet.

Haha this would be great if those boxes weren’t bank. I’d spend more on that than my DIY supplies thus far!.. So you haven’t had any problems with anything leaking or dripping?.. I’m quite nervous about coming back to my stash and having everything sitting in liquid! Probably just paranoid these bottles seem pretty spill proof

Containers look really nice, I’ve never seen them before. Do they keep everything in place too or can the bottles fall over?
I’ve got a couple smaller containers but I have a ton of bigger bottles, 30 90 120ml. I may need to just order new bottles for my DIY trials.

They can fall over if they aren’t filled up (though you could make a cardboard cutout to prevent that)… It was some boxes I found in my local supermarket (in Denmark though), they’re awesome - they seal completely (there is a black rubber thing sealing it when you close it)…

I think they make bigger ones as well, but I haven’t had a need for them for my bigger bottles (yet)…

I am really tight on space because we moved down here not to long ago and are renting a temporary apartment. So I had to put some thought in where I can store/mix my stuff. I really only had a corner in our bedroom where I could do my work and the spawns wouldn’t be able to get at my things. I had to think about building up and not out…

I’m a big fan of those big wooden wine boxes and thankfully we have endless supply of them at work.

And I had some yard stakes from when we had our moving sale, so I cut off the excess length (pictured) and turned them in to shelves for flavorings…

We had a cool small computer/office desk a friend gave us, so I put that in the corner and 1 wine box on top of the desk and made shelves, spaced according to the bottles I use more frequent

Then I put the second box on top of the first and secured it with 2 binder clips

and so on…

As sexy as it looked, I decided to make a curtain for it, so I can cover it all up and remove any light that may or may not have an effect on them. Took me forever to find something I could live with…from cardboard to beach towels it was an eye sore when it was closed.

I was working an event one night and some dumb ass burned the corner of a 70"x70" black table linen. So I cut that bitch up and made it a few layers and now I can roll it up to the top when I’m in business or roll it closed when I’m not…

I had my lights off in this pic

I have a few more made and ready for the next stack

This concludes picture book story time :slight_smile:
