I've got two requests in this thread, actually - FIRST is: I'd like to see a PCC catering toward drippers. The criteria I'd have here is:
- Holds a spare batt (non-charging) or 2, even
- Charges a batt (duh :facepalm: )
- holds a 5ml bottle
And possibly even
- holds a fully assembled 510, maybe even with 'drip tip'

The SECOND request is more for information.
I've got the 5-slot AC charger for 510 batts from Totally Wicked. I have it double-sided-sticky-taped to my center console next to my gearshift, with a cupholder inverter for power. How would one go about the wiring and et cetera to wire something like this directly into the car's wiring system? I'd not be averse to buying a new charger and hacking it apart, should that be needed. I'd also like to see the screw threads above the surface of the device, for ease of cleaning. For the housing, I was thinking a custom-fit wooden box (which I could do myself). I don't know the voltages & etc one would need to do such a thing. Can anyone offer a little help there?

I don't have one of these, so I would need to know what it says on the label on the bottom of the charger, specifically the 'Input:' field.
If it only lists 110-240V AC, then wiring straight into the car wiring will not be nearly as easy, as you would have to wire an inverter in alongside it. If it lists 12V dc as an input, then it can be wired straight in and you'll really just need to figure out where you want it mounted and where you can most easily tap into your cars 12V wiring in relation (a model specific breakdown manual would be helpful here since cars are all different)...
