there's debate on this. Some say some flavours will crystalize in 2-5C environments; I keep my flavours in a wine fridge at 10C. No harm so far. Only benefits.

So at Ikea today, I found these fantastic bins, with the slightly unfortunate name, Tillsluta. They're inexpensive, they have nice near vertical sides, have clear tops and most importantly, are air tight when the lid is sealed down. (and also food safe). Bonus: they're made in Italy, not China.

The bins are designed to keep dry goods foodstuffs bone dry. So they should more than be capable of keeping your vape liquids' various aromas contained.

The smaller ones stack nicely on the taller ones. The lids have silicone (very soft) outer ring on them that do require a bit of effort to fully press down on the bins but when you do press them down, you're secured that they are air tight. Best of all, they look all sciencey... as if you had a mixing lab or something! :D

Keep the smell of that AP out of your fridge by containing it in this bin! :D

hey man, do you happen to have a bunch of 30 ml bottles? if you wouldn't mind. I would really really appreciate it if you could see if the 33, 30ml bottles will fit in that bin sitting on top.

There's a lot of different sizes of these bins at IKEA; I know in the medium hight ones, 30ml bottles (even with stoppers) fit fine, but my 120ml TPA bottles don't, I have to lay them sideways. There's even taller bins too; visit the link above and I think Ikea gives dimensions for all of the bin sizes. The lid does sit slightly recessed, dropping down maybe 3-4mm. If they give a height with the lid in place, I'd suggest taking away 1cm to know the internal depth.

they look like nice containers, but not being able to see all the labels is a problem. i don't want to have to hunt through 100 bottles to find 1 flavor.

Someone posted that they have an excel spreadsheet for their flavors and then label the top of their bottles with the corresponding number so they can easily see it from the top.

Let's face it - the veggie crispers are where good intentions go to die anyway. Better to fill them up with tasty tasty juices.
