Make your own Atomiser stand!
I just happen to have a bag full hanging about...
What?
For those looking for an easy and novel way to store your spare vaping atomisers look no further than your humble fidget spinner!
You know, those annoying spinning toys you often see kids (and adults) messing about with.
They seem to be the current playground fad which can be bought in shops, pharmacies and petrol stations everywhere up and down the country.
If you have kids the chances are that you have already a few of these things knocking around the house and if you are like me you may have a plastic bag full of them!
Atomisers - Roticery style!
Personally I cant see what all the craze is about with fidget spinners. They serve little to no purpose in life as far as Im concerned although the general concensus is that as well as keeping the kids quiet they can help people with ADHD relax and concentrate their minds? Im yet to see any evidence of this myself so for now they are just another yo-yo type toy to me.
However..... There may be a use for these little plastic feckers after all.
Yes! Atomiser stands. Somewhere to park all the tanks and drippers that are not currently being used.
Add another when the first one gets full
Concept
This idea is so simple, so cheap, so lazy its untrue.
Each of the three holes in your generic spinner measure roughly 22mm across and so can easily hold drippers and tanks of that diameter no problem.
I think you may even get away with a slightly larger 24mm in there if you are lucky.
The vast majority of the mainstream atomisers made in the last couple of years seem to have been around 22mm diameter and thats certainly the case in my vape stash so I shouldnt have any problems with them fitting.
And another.....
Customise
Fidget spinner atty stands are customisable to a certain degree.
As your atomiser collection grows so does the amount of stands that can be added to the mix. 1,2,3,4, as many as your shelf can cope with.
As these fidget things come in an endless number of colours and designs a truly unique look can be achieved with a little imagination (if you can arsed)
Practicality
They can be kept as a spinning thing or have the bearing ring removed and fixed, the choice is yours.
Personally I leave them as they are as they dont tend to move around much when they are locked together in a line.
Travel
So you go away for the weekend or something and you take your vaping gear with you. Where do you keep your tanks? (assuming you take a few backup spares)
Well, popping one of these in your rucksack could be the answer.
Fidget spinner stands are ideal for travel purposes and as you only need to take one or two along, it shouldn't have a impact on the weight in your bag.
Cost
Fidget spinners bought from the shops can be expensive but they can be picked up from ebay from as little as 80p each. No point getting ripped off is there?
Alternatively pinch one from a child instead (no dont!)
Yeah, you get the idea...
The Engineer in me is now working out a way of making a permanent multi-spinner vertical stand which will involve a shiny steel rod, a tube of gorilla glue and some electrical tape. Something akin to a mug tree!
Till next time....Vape on!
