It looks like I'm showing off
edit: this is the DIY version of handchecking (for shame)
You my friend, have a problem. But why am I so jealous?
It's a tasty problem, though.
We should take noobs to your house as sort-of a DIY version of the scared-straight program where cops take young miscreants to jails.
"If you keep mixing e-juice, this could happen to you in a few years. Do you want to end up like this?!" It's too late for me now, but if someone had done this for me in the beginning, my life might have been saved. Now I just look at that picture, get the tingly feeling that comes just a little increase in blood flow to the genitals, and try not to drool.
looks like I'm re-purposing my closet! Seriously, this is a cave of caves my friend. Well done.
Nice. Looks like most of your flavors are ~10ml? I'm used to seeing people say I bought 4oz of this and 4oz of that. Kinda surprised me with the size of your station.
That can't all be for personal use, though...
2 pairs of headphones, only 1 desk. The mystery deepens..
If you zoom in a little on the left there's a third pair
Side note, what kind of label maker do you use and do you recommend? Looking into getting one for my bottles but have no experience in that area. You.. You look like you have plenty experience.
I use this Dymo LetraTag. It's cheap and gets the job done.

Quite an old photo, will update when i have my next mixing session, Mixed last night so will probably be tomorrow now.
Still thinking on how to organize flavors. I think I want to have a shelf on the wall for them.
set up is pretty much the same a year later.. just more flavours
A sawzall, magnetic stirrer and a vortex genie? Do you use all three in conjunction? ;)
Dude I have to say I love your set up. All the mentioned were impulse purchases, although being in the UK the heated mag stirrer helps in the colder winter months ( to thin VG), my favourite is the sawzall, vortex doesn't get used much
I pull out the drawer under my desk and throw the scale and some paper towels down. Nothing ground breaking here lol.
I have a tiny book shelf I used to store 360 games in that I have emptied out and keep all my flavor bottles in there, i just pull up a chair and start looking at all the flavors to start getting some ideas. I have it somewhat organized, keeping the fruits and creams in there respective places to keep it easy to find everything.

Thanks for the comments guys. I definitely have some ideas now on how to set my shit up. Currently, it's hard to get motivation to mix when I have all my flavors laying around unorganized. I'm also still mixing by volume, so I definitely need a scale. I've been mixing for over a year and still haven't gotten around to buying a scale.
Relatively new to mixing (<250ml total), so it just takes up a small corner of my desk along with my coil stuff.
I've got an older version of the same Ikea desk, but with risers and a shelf, sitting in the garage waiting to get re-assembled (will need to head over to r/vaporents before tackling that one) in the basement. Once I've got a little more space, and have settled into some standard mixes for myself, I'll be getting a scale, a flavor stand/cabinet, and keep the cigar boxes for steeping/finished juice storage. For now, my 'starter' flavors, active syringes, and steeping testers all fit in a cigar box, away from the evil sunlight.

I keep my cleaned glass bottles in cardboard boxes for each size. 15,30,60,120. I keep all caps, dropper assemblies, etc in a separate container.
One tip I can give is save those silica gel desiccant packs you get with most products and place in everything you want to keep dry.

For my 240+ flavor bottles (10-30ml) I utilize 2 Milwaukee parts organizers that seal tight.

I have them all in alphabetical order along with color coded caps designating brand.
I keep all larger bulk bottles, VG, PG and Nic in a locked filing cabinet near my mixing station which utilizes a ultrasonic, vortex mixer, scale, and a stepped shelf with all my flasks, graduated cylinders, etc. I keep stoppers on all to keep dust/particles out.
