Picked this little guy up at Big Lots today for 150 clams:

I was hesitant, as it seemed a little janky. The cabinet doors were crooked and various pieces were gapped and loose. Thankfully, as it turns out, the store employees just didn't take their time putting it together. I just finished it, and it's a really high quality piece of furniture for the price! Definitely fit for my purpose!

The shelf is easily adjustable to 3 different heights.

Plenty of convenient storage for all my supplies, plastic and glassware.

Lots of space for doing my thing, and the stainless top is super easy to clean and disinfect.

Pretty small footprint, and actually looks like it belongs in my man-cave! Even the girlfriend is pleased.

Tomorrow I'm going to make some slight modifications to the towel rack on the left so I can even put a roll of vaper towels on it!

If you've got a Big Lots in your area and a place to put it, I can certainly recommend this little fella. Not quite a breeze to put together, but it's nice and sturdy, mobile, and perfect for getting your DIY on!

GET YOU ONE! :D:D:D

Yeah, I saw it sitting there in Big Lots and was like... That's exactly what that thing is for. :D

Considering that I've been mixing on a cluttered wooden desk covered with vaper towels for the past couple of years, I'm kinda beside myself with excitement.

now to improve it

add some sides and back to he inner top shelf
and add sliding rails so you can just pull it out

Hah! You think like me, but that would require more modification than I'm willing to commit to. From the height I'm sitting when I mix, I can see all my labels except for the ones at the very back anyway, and I can just tilt my head down a bit to get a look at those if I need.

Now, if I could figure out a way to run a hose from where my PG/VG is on the bottom shelf into a manual pump unit above... See, here I go. :eek::D

Every time I have bottle standing up on their own like that, all it takes is one to tip over and boom like dominoes a mess is made. Nice little setup tho :)

Nice station there. A few mods for storing/sorting flavors and that critter would be totally styling... Now if one or both of my 20 something kids would move out so I could have a vape lab...

Where did you get your glass syringes? I have been in the market for a couple just for my VG and Nic as most everything I'm mixing by weight with flavors.
I have seen quite a few on amazon but haven't pulled the trigger yet.

Station looks good though:)

Sure, Dixie, you could boil them! Honestly I'd be more worried about the syringes surviving a trip from China. Try to make sure they're borosilicate glass with fused graduations at least. A friend of mine bought some cheap glass syringes and the walls were quite thin compared with the ones I got from NTT (which are marked as made in Japan). It didn't take long for the stainless bits to break off his syringes just from regular use and hot-water rinsing.

Caveat emptor! :)
