I just ordered a Plano 4700. Has adjustable dividers, and two layers. Got it for $7.99 with $5.75 overnight shipping (they're in CA). I can finally clean up and organize my desk already! :)

Anyhoo, this is what it looks like:

I got that case too LGD, but mine's red. It's great and all, but I wish it could be bigger. Got mine for 22 @ Amazon.
I also got the caselogic usb drive case(outgrew that one fast), and the caselogic diabetic "Chuck" case, too. A couple of 3.5" notecard plastic things. Some other things... ... :)
I have 2 Plano cases(stowaway something:p), with like 2-2.5" deep compartments. They're awesome, but I'd rather use tackle boxes for my stuff. Probably will pick up a larger Plano one sometime, but my current ones work just fine.

LGD, I've been using that same case for awhile now and it ROCKS! So much so I've got 3 of them (1 for juice, one for e-cig parts, and one for mod parts). I got my first at Menards (home improvement store) and then picked up the other 2 at walmart (they even sell the pullout "trays" seperately with different color clasps so you can color code!)

I paid about $15 each and IMHO they can't be beat!

Since I don't have as many as you guys. I am kinda new. But I wanted something that would blend in even if it was sitting in the corner of my kitchen.
I had a cute faux leather black carrying case that stored makeup from Ulta. It has 4 pull out trays,and when it opens is 3 tiers. Took out all the makeup and the trays are deep enough to store my bottles of e liquid, Lorans oil, and assorted 901 and 510 parts. The elastic on the side held useless brushes and applicators that I got rid of and in their place I store paperclips,a syringe, eye droppers and tweezers. The bottom part of the tray is the deepest and that holds mini funnels,little medicine cups I use to measure and mix and empty bottles. When it all folds up, I can carry it anywhere!

Wow... you guys are stocked!! I haven't bought a case yet, but I bought a black large index card case to keep juice in. I heard it stays fresher when not exposed to light.... oh and refrigerated.... does that work?

I've already spent a grip on this whole e-smoking endeavor! (but I want more... dammnit!)

The cases I use are fairly opaque but I do keep my juice case inside a file cabinet (locked cause I've got kids and am paranoid!). I don't refer. mine and have not had any problems (though maybe if I was more concerned with self life I would).

Take it from me though, this "hobby" can get spendy so you're best off doing your homework b4 all purchases so that you minimize the stuff you buy but will never use.

walmart has some great (cheap) boxes for storing and carrying. Check the craft aisle, toolboxes, paint section, and fishing, as well as home goods. The prices are all varied. I just picked up a small toolbox (for my liquids) it's solid gray (I think) and cost 4 bucks. The craft section is probably the most expensive... and I think the toolboxes were the cheapest (I price check EVERYTHING).
You can also hit garage sales, and flea markets for even cheaper. I got one of those sectional inserts (for inside of a drawer) and paid 50 cents!

The fishing section will probably have this, I saw it there yesterday for $15, Amazon has it for $22. I got it and although a little small, it's great.

I got one of these at Walmart for about $9. It's excellent for a travel case, but I think I need something bigger with more compartments like a tackle box for at home. I've already got too much stuff to fit in that insulin case, let alone keep it organized.

Same here. I like the idea of older (?) tackle box style that folds back when open so everything is in view.....as long as it doesnt tip over from the weight.:rolleyes:

Bottom part of box prefer big enough to store liquids upright and just cardboard boxes so it doesnt tip when traveling. I need to go shopping for a box soon.

I like to store my ejuice vertical, light proof, and air tight.

I use a series of Pelican cases for different sizes bottles...1050, 1020, 1010, 1040,1120. I put some of the 30ml in 1040's and store with the case on it's side. The 3, 5, and 10ml in the others.

I did pick up a Light Red Sterilite brand case from WalMart a couple days ago that will hold 15 of the tall glass Halo and TW bottles with droppers. It is 6"Wx5"Lx7"T (2.5qt latch) and cost only $2.50.

Perhaps this is a little overkill and comes from using photochemicals for several decades that deteriorate quickly with exposure to air and create a huge mess if laid on their side and should happen to leak.

If there is a flood and the water flows towards you from Indiana, look for a woman floating and vaping on a bunch of tied together Pelican cases...it will be me. :D

I just picked up the same $15 Plano tackle box from walmart that a few others have already mentioned, and it is just about perfect. It's smaller than it looks in the pics, but there's still room for a ton of stuff.

Yep, those are great! I liked my first one so much I bought 2 more (1 for juice, 1 for e-cigs, and 1 for mod parts)! The case does a pretty good job of blocking light but for safety sake I keep the juice one in a locked file cabinet (I've got kids and dogs!). Also, the drawers come with different color "latches" so that helps color code what's in each drawer.
