If you are anything like me you will find that over time your collection of vaping stuff will seem to magically grow by leaps and bounds. Especially if you start to DIY your own juice. And your patience with sorting through jumbled mess in a shoe box will quickly wear thin. With this in mind I came up with a no frills design that anyone can make cheaply (under $10) and very quickly but will allow you to expand as needed.   Here Is what we are making. One for Juice bottles and One for Atomizers.       First step is deciding where you are going to place it. Whether in a cabinet, cubbie hole, a desk or table top then measure and write down height,width, and length. Now we drive to Home Depot for the 2 types of wood needed. I already had the materials at home left over from other projects so I just made both. You can do the same or just one or the other.   First the juice bottle one.   You need a 2"x2"x8 foot board (although they actually measure 1 1/2" wide not sure why?) Cost is around $2   Now you decide if you want Home Depot to cut your wood to size which they will they just won't guarantee precision cuts.   Based off of the measurements you took before, If your shelves are going to be less than 36" long then you need 3 of each size if more than 36" then you need 4 of each   2" 4" 6" 8" If more than 4 shelves high than go up on each piece by 2"   This will form your bases.   Next look for this cart somewhere in the lumber section.        Look at the 1 1/2" size pieces (poplar is the cheapest) and grab the amount for the number of shelves you plan to make in either the precut  sizes or have them cut down to the size needed by Home Depot.     For my 2 units I used (1) 2x2x8 and (4) 1/4x1 1/2x48  hobby boards. The bottle space was 34" long so I needed 3 bases up to 8" high and 4 shelf's 34" long. I used (3) of the remaining 14" hobby boards on the atomizer shelf and cut (2) 6" high bases leaving me with a 10" piece of 2x2x8.   Once back home find a flat place to work and grab any type of glue and start assembling the bases. Starting with the largest 2x2 piece lay it on it's side add glue to one side of next smaller size and stack it on top like so.   While glue is still wet adjust the pieces so cut edge and sides line up as even as possible. Continue on until all bases are glued. Allow glue to dry for a few minutes.   Place bases with cut edge down where you planned for with 3rd one in the middle or 3rd & 4th evenly spaced for longer shelf's. Then place hobby boards on other cut edge like so         For the atomizer one there is an extra step. Grab a pencil, ruler, and some atomizers. Lay them like so.   This will help you get a feel for how many will fit on your shelf and what spacing is needed between them. Then make 3/4 of an inch mark on both edges of shelf and using another shelf as straight edge draw a line down the center. Now transfer your spacing marks to that line.   Now grab a drill and a bit that is slightly larger than your 510 connector on the bottom of the Atomizer (I used 9/32) and drill at your marks you can either drill all the way through or stop right before test with an atomizer to make sure base lays flat against shelf.   Do the same for other shelves.   Once you are done with that I recommend you glue shelves to bases.   And were done! As I said at first no frills but very useful.   Now you get to decide what else you could use this shelf for or maybe sand and stain or paint them. After finding more attys (I swear they are reproducing by themselves) I added a couple of more shelves And here is one way that I decided to finish it.         As for me after looking at the first picture I really need to get my bottle labels under control and now I know exactly where to place them on the bottle for optimum viewing.   Thanks for reading. As always all comments, critiques, and or questions are much appreciated.

You've been very busy! I like the various grains in the wood you used.   

Those are awesome!

Sent from a galaxy far far away

Beautiful!!!! 

It has been awhile since I last posted. So I thought I would share with you what I have been up to since then.
There have been quite a few in that time so please bear with me. I will try and give descriptions when I can.
Some you may have seen before but the majority I have never posted Here.
First are some of the original mods I made. Some are in my personal collection and some I have sold.





 
The next ones have all been sold off. They are a mix of Squonkers (Single and Dual Battery) Mechanicals, Unregulated, and Regulated.
Plus Non Squonkers in (Single and Dual Battery) Mechanicals, Unregulated, and Regulated.




Here is the latest batch of Mechanical Squonkers I just Sold off.

pics to show size difference between mechanicals and unregulated with mosfet to protect switch.

 
Here are some individual shots to give you an idea of what they look like inside. also some one offs in which I experiment with different techniques.
 















 
Thanks for viewing . If there are any of these that you would like to see closeups on please feel free to ask.
As always all Comments, Questions and or Critiques are very much appeciated.

Thanks for the nice comments very much appreciated. 
@mattythornton as for the level of my vape collection. Mrs. long gone and have been vaping since 2011. So watch out it tends to sneak up on you. You may one day find out it has turned into a hobby.

Here is what I made to control my collection of Atties, Driptips, and spare parts. I Thought I had already posted my how to build the base for this but apparently not so will remedy that soon. This is one way of finishing it off.

Every Since I started Vaping and making mods I would keep reminding myself that there had to be a better way of handling my growing collection of Batteries. I tried lining them up in a cigar box all nice and neat only to knock them back into a jumbled mess the first time I reached for one. Or go to swap out the battery in a mod and forget which hand I had the charged one in ( I killed way to many brain cells when I was Younger ). So while planing this I knew I wanted it to incorporate my existing charger (works great) keep my batteries organized, and be able to test various sizes of batteries. Then I remembered "THE DRAWER" You know the one (I can't be the only one) It's where you throw all the AAA,AA,C,etc. rechargeable and non batteries that you have ever owned and have no idea which are good or bad. So I had to find a meter that would read down to 1.2 volts (AAA) (most will not show below 2.5 volts). And So this is what I came up with and was finally able to get organized and reigning in "THE DRAWER" was a nice added benefit.        And in case you;were curious what the 2 bolts next to the display were for It's for testiing 9 volt batteries.(My younger brother will no longer let me test them my preferred method which was to goad him into sticking the leads on his tongue ).    Thank you for viewing as always all questions,critiques, and or comments are much appreciated.

Recently thanks to generous recipe posters I discovered how easy FlavourArt flavors are to work with. So placed an order for 33 FA flavor samples from eliquid mart then after trying them and finding more recipes I wanted to try. Placed and received a 2nd order of 35 bottles. For me It became a pain in the *** to try and find the individual flavor. Pick up read no!,Pick up read No!, etc, or worse take all out the box and play dominoes with them while on the table. I decided there had to be a better way and set out to make one. I don't know if you are anything like me but this is what my DIY shelf looked like before. And this is what it looks like now! I made It to accommodate the FA flavors I have now and allow for future growth. I was also able to put them in Alphabetical order and read the flavor name for easy location. (Added benefit Lorann's 1 dram bottles also fit) Over the past few years I had also accumulated quite a few wizard lab samples (which are even better at mimicking dominoes). And since I plan to continue to use them either individually or in combination with FA. I decided to make one for them. Here is how it looks like now when I mix a eliquid recipe. I have the wide mouth jars for my NIC,VG, PG, and Premixed Base. (easier to get the last little bit and no tipping). And here is a pic of the final results. Both racks are hinged (makes them more stable when opened) and have a latch to keep closed when put away. Thanks for reading. Hope you like.

As promised. Here is a tutorial for building a VV wood mod. Using a OKR-T 6 amp switching regulator, Voltage display and dual 18650 batteries. This one is highlighting the differences from the other tutorial I posted before. So If you have not read it (What the heck is wrong with you ) here is a link to that post to reference back to.

?do=embed' frameborder='0' data-embedContent>

Here is what we are building









Parts List





Mad Vapes

510 Connector

18650 Batteries 2 at least

Voltage Display - Only if you want to mount a outside display on the mod. It can be monitored with a screw on display or multimeter. But it is much easier with it already on there.

Horn Switch


Vapoligy

(2) Pairs Battery Spring Plates - Battery Spring Plate


Radio shack

PCB- Printed Circuit Board They have a few get the one that has a mix of 2,3,none, and continous connections between holes they sell
for aroung $2.50. Or if able to make your own.

Small magnets If needed


Digikey - Once again a big thank you to bstedh on the ECF forum for a great post and diagram. Here is a link if anyone wants to read
Easy OKR-T VV mod

OkR-T Switching Regulator comes in 3,6, and 10 amp sizes. I ordered a 6 amp for this one and a 3 amp for another mod. Very happy with both. Batteries last a lot longer than linear regulators.
Power Supplies - Board Mount | DC DC Converters | DigiKey

A 200 ohm Trimmer/Pot
3352T-1-201LF Bourns Inc. | 3352T-201LF-ND | DigiKey

A 200 ohm resistor - there is a discussion on the thread over what size resistor need to set upper voltage but went with recommended.
MRS25000C2000FRP00 Vishay BC Components | PPC200ZCT-ND | DigiKey


Home Depot

1/4"x 1 1/2" x 24" Hobby Board - I went with the alder on this one.

3/4" screen - once again you can use any scrap piece you already have.

20 to 22 gauge wire


Tools Needed Same as before See Previous Tut

?do=embed' frameborder='0' data-embedContent>


Cuts needed

Hobby Board

(4) 4 1/4" pieces look for interesting patterns and label front and back. Others label left and right.

(2) 2" pieces label top and bottom

(1) 1 1/2" Label Angle piece

3/4" screen

(1) 1 1/2" piece label support

(1) 1 1/4" piece label U

(2) 3" pieces label U


Once again feel free to substitute what you already have available for what is listed here.


First steps:










































Hopefully I covered everything you need to make your own. But if you have any questions or see any safety concerns please fill free to post. Any and all Comments and or critiques are greatly appreciated.

Also if you do make one please post a picture for me.

With this regulator and these batteries It seems I can vape for 2 + days with lots and lots of vapor between charges.

And Once again thank you to Christopher and jeffb for there assistance to me.

Enjoy and Happy Vaping!

Even though I am brand new here I wanted to get started on the right foot. So I made this hopefully easy to follow Tutorial to help out anyone who likes the look of wood mods but like me can't afford them right now. This was made in an apartment with hand tools, so you don't need a fancy workshop or special tools to make it. So If you think of a easier way to do something or want to substitute a part you already have that will work for You go right ahead. Also I tried to make this as comprehensive as possible , but if you have any questions or comments please feel free to Post.

P.S. I will also be posting a followup Tutorial for a VV Dual 18650 wood mod next which will be referenced back to this tutorial for the basic box build and to highlight the differences. So please be sure to check out that one also.

This one is a simple one battery mod but it works great and I find myself alternately using it all day and very light weight so easy to carry around when out and about.

Here is what is getting built




















Here is the part list of what is needed to build it you may already have these items if not I will tell you where I obtained them. If you are anything like me once you build your first mod you want to keep on modding everything. So I recommend that you get a few of these parts so that when mod fever comes over you. Everything you need is right there. Once again feel free to substitute for any parts that you
may already have available.

Madvapes -

510 sealed battery connector - $1.49 Either silver or brass. They can be a pain to solder so Madvapes offers prewired ones for $2.99 its up to you.

Horn Switch - $.89 they come in many colors and have been very sturdy for me with a nice clicky feel when pushed
$2.99 New chrome switch picked up a couple so far like the way they look but no clicky when pushed

LED - $.49 to $1.59 Come in 3mm or 5mm with many colors to choose from pick the one you like (they come with resistor needed added to package so no need to buy separately)

If you don't already have batteries and a charger you might want to pick some up. The way this mod is built you can use 16340 or 18350 or any battery that will fit a 19mm x 38mm (Spring fully depressed) holder. You can pick IMR or protected your choice I recommend at least 2 (1 charging while other being used)

If you have never been to this site look around some they have a lot of great stuff especially for DIY


Vapoligy - They have a 5% off code Outcast Vaping. Plus they offer a lifetime 10% off for current and former military (any Military or Veteran get 10% off FOREVER! All they have to do is create an account then email me a scan or anything that proves military service of any kind in any branch to jim@vapoligy.com and I will code them to a special “Military personal” account wich gives the military discount on all prices, then on top of that they can still use a coupon code for even better savings.

http://www.vapoligy.com/index.php?l=product_list&c=27

Battery spring plates .99 a pair I found these and like how sturdy & easy to work with these are. But you can use any type of connectors or holders you want. Just adjust the sizes accordingly.
Another site worth looking around for other stuff he even carries kanthal, nichrome, and wick for when you get a Rebuildable atomizer.



(3) 6 inch red wires and (3) 6 inch black wires - solid or stranded 20 to 22 gauge

Small rare earth magnets - A few months ago I went on amazon and bought (50) 1/8 x 1/16 magnets but can't remember where I bought them at but I believe radio shack carries 1/4" ones which should work you need at least 4


Home depot

Hobby board red oak $1.49 for a 1 1/2" x 1/4" x 2 foot I love the grain on these. They also come in other widths and lengths if you decide to make more mods.






3/4" wood screen $2.29 for 8 foot length. If you already have a piece of wood 3/4" wide use that. If not get this and cut it in half in the store for easier carrying.





Tools needed
Hopefully you have most of these already which will save you money. If not most can be picked up at Home depot




Drill and various bits
Soldering Iron
Solder and flux or solder embedded with flux
Hand Saw
Mitre Box
Some type of Clamp I picked up mine at Big Lots Years ago and can't remember how much. Home Depot sells them for aroung $10 bucks. or you can use tape or string or whatever clamp parts together until glue dries
Some type of Wood Glue make sure its stain-able (Liquid Nails from Home depot has been working for me)
Super Glue
Hot glue gun
Wire strippers
Various grits of sandpaper
Sanding block
Small can of Wood Stain Pick the color you like best at Home depot near the paint section. I use MinWax brand with success
Small can of fast drying polyurethane same as above
(Both can be found at walmart also.)



Alright now that is out of the way lets get to it shall we.

First off using mitre box cut red oak hobby board you need

(4) 2 1/2" pieces look at them find some interesting patterns and mark those for your front and back other 2 left and right
(2) 2" pieces again mark them top and bottom
(1) 1 3/4" piece marked as angle panel

from screen wood you need
(1) 2" piece
(1) 3/4" piece

Helpful Tips - Always use the same tool for all your measurements
Measure,mark and cut. Do not mark all your cuts at the beginning and then try and cut them 1 after another some pieces will be longer than the others.
Run sandpaper lightly over cut edges to remove excess before you measure.
always cut on same place of the mark whether you go left/right or directly on the mark.

If you have access to power tools like a table saw or sanders use them it will make this much easier.

Had some others that I've sold or given away but this is what I right now but always planning more. This is an overview of my juice and equipment shelves Here is the closeups I much prefer glass for holding my ready to vape or not as the case may be. Various bits and pieces that tend to accumulate. I keep my PG/VG in 2 each blue jars, My Nic in Amber jars, and Premixed in a Amber jar. These are 9 oz. short wide mouth glass jars Seem to work better for me easier to siphon out liquid and less chance of tipping over. Here are some of my flavors for DIY Can you tell I like Wizard Labs. Some more flavors including VZ super concentrated and lorann's plus other brands. Also syringes, pipettes, and plastic boxs for everything else. A couple of projects that I so far have not had time to do are make a stand for PV's. and a small wood cabinet to hold all vaping supplies. Hopefully soon. What do you folks think? Kinda OCD right. Thanks for looking all comments and or critiques are appreciated.

Even though I am brand new here I wanted to get started on the right foot. So I made this hopefully easy to follow Tutorial to help out anyone who likes the look of wood mods but like me can't afford them right now. This was made in an apartment with hand tools, so you don't need a fancy workshop or special tools to make it. So If you think of a easier way to do something or want to substitute a part you already have that will work for You go right ahead. Also I tried to make this as comprehensive as possible , but if you have any questions or comments please feel free to Post.

P.S. I will also be posting a followup Tutorial for a VV Dual 18650 wood mod next which will be referenced back to this tutorial for the basic box build and to highlight the differences. So please be sure to check out that one also.

This one is a simple one battery mod but it works great and I find myself alternately using it all day and very light weight so easy to carry around when out and about.

Here is what is getting built




















Here is the part list of what is needed to build it you may already have these items if not I will tell you where I obtained them. If you are anything like me once you build your first mod you want to keep on modding everything. So I recommend that you get a few of these parts so that when mod fever comes over you. Everything you need is right there. Once again feel free to substitute for any parts that you
may already have available.

Madvapes -

510 sealed battery connector - $1.49 Either silver or brass. They can be a pain to solder so Madvapes offers prewired ones for $2.99 its up to you.

Horn Switch - $.89 they come in many colors and have been very sturdy for me with a nice clicky feel when pushed
$2.99 New chrome switch picked up a couple so far like the way they look but no clicky when pushed

LED - $.49 to $1.59 Come in 3mm or 5mm with many colors to choose from pick the one you like (they come with resistor needed added to package so no need to buy separately)

If you don't already have batteries and a charger you might want to pick some up. The way this mod is built you can use 16340 or 18350 or any battery that will fit a 19mm x 38mm (Spring fully depressed) holder. You can pick IMR or protected your choice I recommend at least 2 (1 charging while other being used)

If you have never been to this site look around some they have a lot of great stuff especially for DIY


Vapoligy - They have a 5% off code Outcast Vaping. Plus they offer a lifetime 10% off for current and former military (any Military or Veteran get 10% off FOREVER! All they have to do is create an account then email me a scan or anything that proves military service of any kind in any branch to jim@vapoligy.com and I will code them to a special “Military personal” account wich gives the military discount on all prices, then on top of that they can still use a coupon code for even better savings.

Battery spring plates .99 a pair I found these and like how sturdy & easy to work with these are. But you can use any type of connectors or holders you want. Just adjust the sizes accordingly.
