Most people store them in their regulator bag.

Some people say that coiling them in the bag long term is bad for them. I don't see how as they come in the manufacturer box coiled twice as tight and stay that way for months. The manufacturer wouldn't do something that causes recall issues with their regulators or failures.

Other folks store them loosely in rubber-maid type totes.

Alot of it's personal preference.

I wouldn't reccomend storing them in a hot garage though. Or leaving them hanging up especially in the garage where insects could make spider nests,etc in the air exhaust. The worst thing I've seen with this is dirt-dobbers making a nest in the air-exhaust. That would suck to find that out underwater. Luckily they found it during annual service.
