Hey guys, I currently have a man cave that im thinking of updating and having a area just for making my e liquids and coils as well as store the concentrates. Thinking of how to pull it off got me wondering, what is your idea of a perfect workspace and storage system. I currently have a cluttered desk and a few toolboxes full of my flavors and other mixing supplies.

Mine would be (will be someday) have rolling drawers, and a flat top, with a slot for everything including a directional gooseneck light with magnifier.
A small permanent vice, wire dispensers, are a must, lol

That about sums mine up. Flavors in stackable storage boxes that snap together, top piece has a handle, so it's sorta portable, but I don't trust it enough to not hold the bottom when I carry it to the kitchen. Then, I sit at the island or kitchen counter to mix. Coil stuff, in a smaller craft box, like a cheapie tool box.
I don't mind that I don't have a specific station for it all, since I prefer to mix near a sink anyway. I do admire the specific set ups that I see people post, but it's just not practical in my house.
That sounds close to what I want, have a hell of a time trying to organise all my bottles so would be nice to have draws for specific flavor types. Probably a few cupboards for my steeping e liquids and a little cubby hole for my gloves. Most importantly a kitchen roll dispenser for the inevitable vg spill (really need to get a funnel ).

I've made bigger VG messes using a funnel, than I have without, LOL. I slow pour into Yorker bottles, then just squeeze.
My wife bought me a cabinet that has 4 shelves in it. A couple of shelves with my concentrates organized into categories, a shelf for my mixing tools and bottles, and a shelf for paper towels etc. Sits right next to a desk with an adjustable lamp and my notebook on the notes I've gathered so far.
Any plastic squeeze bottle that has this type of topper. The opening is large enough to easily squeeze VG through.
or the twist top cap 
Ahhh I get you now lol, have had a couple before which were handy so might have to remember order them, and he'll yeah to a lip around the workbench would hopefully also contain the tiny bits of wire I always seem to find with my bare foot lol
