Wow. Some really nice setups here peeps. I am just getting started so my setup is just a small set of drawers. Knowing how crazy I get with everything I do I am planning ahead. I have ordered a couple nail polish racks and I am going to organize by flavor number. All of my bottles are labled with the flavor number used on the web site here.
For example:
TFA Dragonfruit here is
http://e-liquid-recipes.com/flavor/8535.
So my bottle has 8535 on it. (guess these numbers change so this doesnāt work)
It would be really nice if the calculator here had inventory control. That way when you mixed a recipe it removed the quantity from your flavor stash

Thatās planned 
I call it batch control, because it will record what you mixed and will allow you to put notes along with your mix of a recipeā¦ Donāt know exactly when this will be realized though, but hopefully in the not too distant future

Nice. I canāt wait. Like I said, I am planning ahead. And I can see keeping track of inventory becoming a real pain. Quick question - do the flavor numbers stay constant on the website here? I am hoping they do. Otherwise I need to rethink my numbering system.

You might want to re-think it At some point I will re-organize the flavorings, to help prevent all those duplicates, and actually make some things function much betterā¦ May I suggest just creating your own ID? I do the same, and keep an Excel sheet with my inventory - it so much easier to find what you need in a hurry! See the first reply:

I did see that. I will have to organize like you then. Care to share your spreadsheet? All I have is a tablet. I can edit them. But I have no idea how to create one from scratch.

Do you ever have anything leak in there?
How does this stirr the juice? I defiently like the heat plate idea.
I improved on this idea. I stuck the chopsticks into a block of flower-arranging foam. Not they donāt move and my bottles dry nicely! I also added toothpicks for the caps and tips.

In continuing with my DIY flavorings Lego style wine boxes, I was lucky enough to receive a nice size box with an operational wooden lid! I canāt tell you how nice that is and I donāt know if itās just my luck or itās common place but in the past 25 years I have had only 1 box that had the original lid.
So anyways I have all my juices stacked up in chests of varying sizes, some with 10 bottles all the way up to some with 100+. My point being itās horrible when I want to find a specific juice and itās akin to playing the game of memory, which really sucks when I donāt have oneā¦
So I took the wine box and filled it with my more frequently used or advs as it were and since it came with the lid/door, it helps with any light too
The box as is
Lid partially open
Lid off and before shelving
I didnāt have anymore stakes left for the shelving in this one, so I temporarily cut cardboard shelves, bent a wire hanger in the shape of the shelves, took some smooth leather like gaffer/duct tape and VoilĆ ! Iāll spare you the step by step pictures of all that 
So now I have a fast and organized place to keep whatever and will be stacked in the ālabā
Just need to remove the shipping labels but it sure beats playing memory

Sorry lordvapor were did you send that message?
I sent you a private message on here 25 days ago. I will just paste it hereā¦
I looked into getting a hot plate megnetic stirrer. There is a decent one on ebay hereā¦ Hot Plate Magnetic Stirrer for $144.49
While researching stirrers I remembered back in my hobby days these were really handyā¦Badger Hobby Paint Mixer
People here seem to use milk frothers a lot. But I like my paint mixer because it has a smaller blade and will fit into my flasks.
I combine all my ingredients into a 150ml flask, submerse the flask in hot water, and mix with this little mixer. It works great! And itās uber cheap.
A lot of people use the paint mixer as well. I think it just depends on what they happened to get. LoL. Iād probably go with a paint mixer if I had to do it over or my frother goes belly up. I had to modify it so that it would fit down in the bottles. I twisted a couple of pieces of 24ga wire and made a little whisk thing out of it. Works well, but Iād rather something a little more sturdy. The wire has a tendency to bend.

Couldnāt you just use a drill? Or dremel toolā¦ Just a thoughtā¦ I paint so shaking cans has given me enough practice. I just shake the hell out of it and throw it in to steep. I donāt fill my 120s so that helps my situation, 60 ml leaves enough room to shake, and isnāt too much liquid to mix. If I was making more I could see the reason for a mixer. Need little marbles balls we can drop in the bottles to help agitate haha
I have this small Dremel tool and adapted this air brush paint mixer for frothing my juices in a few seconds.I also have a full size dremel and itās much too powerful for mixing eliquid. It broke my glass bottle.
This whisk fits down to my 15ml bottlesā¦
I fabricated several types of whisks for different size bottles. They all will froth a mix, even with a large volume mixā¦

If I mix in the bottle I just shake the hell out of it until I see lots of bubbles. With the paint mixer my liquid becomes very frothy and a solid flask of bubbles. It is just a tad too weak for mixing a 250ml flask of liquid. But if I work it around it does ok. In the 50ml and 150ml flasks it works great. I kinda wish it would fit into my 50ml dripper bottles but I do fine just shaking. Plus I get a bit of a workout which keeps me just shy of morbidly out of shape
