Wife mentioned smell of the DIY supplies, what to do?

[joeyboy]

What can I store my flavorings in so they do not smell up the house? I had them in a plastic container but the smell of the FA flavorings are coming through. Is there something I can buy that seals or do something with the containers to help with that? Too hot in the garage to put them there.

Have you tried a GLASS container?

 

[AmandaD]

Do you have AP in there? Or tobacco flavorings?

I have mine in the kitchen, and I can only smell when when I actually open the boxes.

It might actually not be the flavorings smelling but rather how your wife feels about vaping?

I use zip lock baggies.. then place them into plastic shoe box sized containers.. then those go into coolers..
flavors love cool dark places, and tend to last a bit longer this way.

No tobacco flavorings. She doesn't care about vaping, just the combination of the fruity smells.

I will try smaller ziplock bags. I do store them in the dark.

Thanks everyone

Did you have them in plastic containers or just out in the open? Mine are all in plastic containers, and there's no way you could smell them (assuming you don't have breadcrust LOL)

Every time my boyfriend opens the cabinet I have mine in, he says, "It smells like cookies in there."

 

[joeyboy]

I have them in a plastic container with a snap top. Not very effective.

Putting the bottles inside some of the thicker freezer type zip lock baggies and then storing those inside a sealed plastic bin really does help. You can group many of them together in quart size bags or even use gallon size bags if that's all you have. Even then, some slight aromas might linger. But if you put the bin away in a closet or cabinet in the dark, she will probably never notice them.

Mine sit in a harbor freight toolbox on top of the fridge - no odor issues to date, though I worry about the flavors spoiling since we don't have heat or a/c in our house...

Flavour farts!

Goto a yard sale and spend $25 on one of those cube refrigerators. Bonus is your stash will stay fresh longer and if you have kids you can put a lock on it.

look into some of the water tight hard case boxes... I think there is one called the Pelican box...

For cheap versions, check e.bay for Seahorse brand (search sorted by price). But seriously, those long skinny ziplock bags flavors come shipped in are worth keeping. Great for keeping stuff tight and sorted by category or alpha.

I used to put bottles in zip lock bags 3 deep and could still smell the flavors and then I discovered these at my local Walmart. Air tight seal and easy to stack and store. http://mobile.walmart.com/ip/Plano-Guide-3700-Series-Waterproof-Stowaway/17126451

Vacuum Sealer... Two birds, one stone

Place the flavorings in the resealable containers

I have a bunch of flavor concentrates for DIY in my basement that I haven’t used in about a year. I’m interested in getting back into DIY again so I opened the plastic container that I store them in last night to take inventory. A few minutes later my wife who is upstairs (she doesn’t vape) yells “I can smell that”. It’s not really a big deal, but I was sort of surprised that the smell traveled upstairs so quickly for her to notice – all I did was bring the box out from under the stairs and open it while picking through the unopened bottles.

Invite someone over that smokes really, really large, fat and cheap cigars.

I imagine she will stop bitching about the DIY smells almost immediately!
