Pics or it didn't happen!
Ideas on how to organise flavour stash

Eish, me and pics are not comfortable bedfellows. My cell phone dates back to the Triassic era. Still, it can take basic pics. Everything is being washed atm. Once it's all dry and together, I can WhatsApp you a pic if you like.
I have a combination system, I kept all my boxes I received from valleyvapour and marked each to a certain type of flavour.
So I have a box for creams, fruits, cereals, nuts, beverages, flavour enhancers etc. I had to do this because keeping everything in one big box, was getting difficult since my number range would go into the hundreds. So this way the numbers go upto like 30 per box. Works for me.

I've used and modified several systems since I started doing DIY 3.5 years ago. My first concentrates were all bought in about 70 little 8ml glass vials with screw caps (with some extra dropper caps that fit them). So I bought a few Plexiglas lipstick stands with individual right size compartments in three ladder tiers to keep them sorted in alphabetical order while storing them in the freezer. But 8ml soon became a way too small quantity for my DIY, so I had to adapt for various bottle sizes for a time until I settled on my go to concentrates. Now I buy or naturally extract them myself in 4oz and 8oz bottles that simply stand in the door shelves of my freezer, and all my VG, PG and mixed DIY in up to 1 liter bottles take up most of the rest of the freezer (I just got a new larger freezer). Works for me since I seldom put anything else but ice cube trays and frozen fruits/veggies in the freezer to make fruit/veggie smoothies or frozen blasts with.
wow dude you extract your own flavours this is interesting., very interesting indeed. Do you have a boerewors flavour?
Got my stuff in tea boxes (the ones you find at hotels) in alphabetical order. The 3rd box has the "extras" for all the additives (sweetener, vape wizard, smooth, koolada, etc) and pre-mixed concentrates (FA), etc.
Works very well and when i'm done, I simply close the lids and stack them/

Saw this elsewhere, looks pretty cool!
Finally, DIYING is simple, quick and organized. I strongly recommend making yourself a one. It is a wooden 52.8 cm X 69 cm with 161 cells ( Size that fits my lower kitchen cabinet and is subject to everyone's available space ) 8 rows X 16 columns = 128 cells of a unified size 3.6 cm X 3.6 cm for up to 60ml bottles of most vendors.. plus .. 3 rows X 11 columns = 33 cells 5.2 cm X 5.5 cm for up to 250ml bottles OR 4 10ml bottles as your need may be. Net height is 5 cm , internal separators are 0.6 cm thick and external borders are 1.2 cm wide to allow room for labeling. A sheet showing each cell content is quite beneficial to instantly know that VBIC for instance is in cell 6F, sort flavors the order you prefer, by flavor, brand or alphabetically..etc. If you have more than 161 bottles which is the case for me , you may keep the extra repeated bottles out till needed or you may make yourself a bigger one especially if you are using more than 161 flavors. You can't imagine how efficient this box is till you enjoy trying it yourself.

I work at a tea & coffee company - we give them to customers. They can't be bought I'm afraid...
Sorry!

It is only a matter of time until Rudi gets those sliding 8-foot high warehouse metal shelves on runners. From his PC database, he will know at a glance that Inawera Gold Ducat is in Aisle C, Rack 7, Shelf A2, cell F6. He will just need to send the appie with the frontloader to fetch it.

I think you're onto something!
I actually have 2 of those shelves (dinkum) but they're for my t shirt stocks....
Mmmm, maybe I only need one shelve for the t shirts and I can use the other one as suggested!!
Ja!!!!

I wanted to do the numbering as well so I decided on a binary number system
I have been using your system since I read the original post months ago. It is brilliant. I am sitting at nearly 120 bottles and without it I would be LOST.
I travel so much definitely gonna ask the hotels for this

When I started this is what I slapped together so I could see what I was doing.
You will notice that there are only Clyrolinx concentrates here. My first order was balls to the wall and I ordered one of each that they had at that time. Mostly 5ml bottles.
Then things got a bit more serious and other manufacturers came into the fold....check lower right corner.
As time went by more and more were added.....you know how it goes..... I also decantered the stupid bottles into plastic dripper bottles to make mixing by weight a much cleaner experience.
Finally the other day I decided to sort things out again. bought some brandering, cut it up and stacked it all together. No nails or screws, no paint, just cut and stack and it works quite nicely.
Now the old rack has become my steeping rack.

My three desk drawers just weren’t room enough for my concentrates. This is the latest attempt to access my concentrates faster. It takes 150 concentrates, 30 per level ... and it’s too small already, but at least it’s quite compact and everything is easily visible.View attachment 76382

This looks so tidy and neat like I prefer, but I like to keep all my concentrates and nicotine in black containers in my cupboard.
Wow, that is great. Good job my friend.@Petrus it does have a door, it's just not in the picture. It's only open when I remove concentrates
Where did you get this bud?
Neat, where did you get that from?
