So far, loving the new (2 sizes) IRIS USA Stackable Storage Bin Totes for the flavors. I had been using some much smaller, flip top lid containers, but once stacked, they turned into a leaning disaster. More details, as opposed to JUST links, and “Buy it, buy it NOW” statements.
The 5 quarts are great for smaller 30ml bottles, while the 12 quarts are perfect for 120ml bottles, and even bigger when laid on their sides. I had briefly considered even BIGGER ones, so even my BIG bottles could be stood upright, but it would waste too much space.
Now I use these for storage and overflow, not for my working bottles which are all racked up for quick, easy use. Strong, stackable, and sturdy once stacked which is why I switched to them. Juice proof, so if you happened to have a leaker, it’s not leaking out of the container.
SD, are the bottoms on the inside completely flat? Meaning, is there ribbing(similar to the lids) that would cause bottles to not want to sit nicely? I’m looking at their sturdy looking shelving units also.
@whthek, GREAT question. The “insides” are almost completely flat, with minor indents for the handle groove, and push outs (feet if you will, for stacking), and you can just LOAD them up !!!
Thanks! I asked because I’d be using these more for drawing from(per mixing session), rather than any type of long term storage(which I presume is how your using them). It’s a PITA to pluck a bottle out of a bin, and have the rest of them collapse/tip over on each other. Yes, I try to keep my flavors alphabetized…
Well you’ll have to decide if it’s the right “plucking” bin for you or not. I liked the fact that not only were they flat (inside and out), but stackable. I do keep the lids on, and the two clasps clasped. Don’t know if that is a negative or not for you @whthek. Thin but sturdy, AND, stacked, they are very firm, no tipping, even 8 higher or more, I checked.
Atm I’m thinking a 6pack of 12qt., and a 10pack of 5qt. bins, with(maybe) this rack…https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09BG9D42H/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=AHRC72ILVKNNA&th=1
As I get settled into my new place, and organize my vape lab, I’ll have a better picture of what would work best. Lids off would probably work best for my purposes, and keep the whole rack dark with some type of covering.
TBH, haven’t gotten out much, yet. Been completely consumed with finding/buying a home, and now, working on said home! I will say that I believe there are many more people who vape, but keep it ‘close to the vest’, SD. Because of the stigma the media has attached to it.
