Question on storage (a portable case?)

[Kabong30]

Hey folks, anybody have any good ideas on how to store/transport my batteries and tanks? I have a pair of Aspire 1600mah batteries and I'll be carrying 2 or 3 Nautilus mini tanks. You guys use any kind of hard cases or anything for hauling that stuff around? Something that doesn't let everything rattle around?

Last year I order two pair of those from fasttech; they came with cases included.
$10.03 Authentic Samsung INR18650-25R 3.6V 2500mAh Rechargeable Li-Ion Batteries (2-Pack) - 35A peak discharge / 22A continuous discharge at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

cases also available separately.

there's this stuff too

When I had a similar setup I used to use a 2 of the eGo cases that normally come with eGo starter kits. I think I got them at a smoke shop actually but I'm sure they can be found pretty easily online. They are hard zipper cases that have a couple of straps that will fit batteries, tanks, and even 10 (or maybe 15mL) bottles of liquid. They also have net pockets that are pretty tight and keep things from rattling around. I haven't used them in a while but maybe it's time to pull 'em out again instead of the haphazard way that I try to carry everything around with me now. Hope I could be of some help!

edit: I thought the Aspire 1600mah batteries you were talking about were eGo style or at least self contained: you'll definitely want battery condoms or a case like edyle posted if they are naked batteries for safety's sake.

I use a shaving kit for my stuff but it doesn't support non rattle. I saw a shotgun shell case that worked well for some vape stuff. It was padded and had loops to tuck things (juice/batteries,mods) in. Might try looking at a gun / hunting website.

I have a number of them. Google for "vape cases."

I was also thinking about one of those Velcro panels with some of those elastic loops.

Yeah, I've done that and been somewhat unimpressed, but my quest will continue

well, how about looking for a case to suit your needs, and DIY the insides to accommodate what you want to put in, as well as padding to reduce rattling

I'm a type 1 diabetic and I have loads of old test kits and little weekend cooler bags and things to carry my insulin in and I never even considered this! Thanks for the idea

They hold a lot and they keep everything nice and organized!

Yeah, I've been looking at pick and pluck foam.

I use an old, small camera bag that is still in good shape. Old enough that one side has compartments for holding film containers, perfect for 4 tanks. The other side has an enclosed pocket perfect for a spare mod. Still leaves room for 1 or 2 dual 18650 battery cases shown in edyle's post and a 30ml bottle or two of juice. Throw in some spare coils in the zippered outer pocket and I'm good to go for a few days.

I only have the Coil Master Wrapping tool, but within a few months, I'll have a heck of a lot more Coil Master gear. Support those who support us!!!

I remember the early days, using Nintendo (DS?) cases to transport batteries and small clearos.
