A tank stand

[captainwaffles]

I have 4 tanks, with a variety of flavors. I'd like some better way to store them than leaving them on their side on a paper towel - some kind of stand for my tanks, together or individually.

I'm considering making my own - either epoxying female 510 connectors into a board with appropriate holes drilled in it, or drilling and tapping a piece of aluminum, and possibly adding a drip well (would this be necesary?) to each hole.

Either way, I'm crunched for time and was wondering if such a product existed before fabricating my own.

cheers

Great idea and something one could market!

I have found that empty prescription bottles make great holders for tanks with juice in them. Not a stand, but keeps the tanks upright and covered. I also have a beautiful hand crafted stand a friend made...

I keep them in shotglasses next to my kit....Generally speaking 2 5ml tanks per shot glass.....And if they leak the juice is recoverable.


Not that they leak.

Brian from redsky mods makes some that hold tanks and mods

I saw the redsky mods (thanks tybin) but i was thinking something a little more minimalist. I'm playing in cad now, and I'm wondering what sort of features I, and the rest of the community, would like. A few things i'm kicking about

1) I'd like a single tank holder, threaded, drip well
2) multi tank holder, threaded, possibly socket for battery

1) I'm picturing essentially the top of the provape, a truncated cone, with the well and then a threaded 510/whatever connector. Enough weight to nicely balance a full big tank with steel tip, aluminum for ease of work and industrial chic

2) still working on it. A longer bar of aluminum with spaced 510 sockets, maybe?

Anyway, interested to hear community ideas before i go about crafting my own.

cheers

These hold 3.5 tanks (w/drip tip) perfectly. SM model
Ammunition boxes for rifles by MTM Case-Gard™ - Plastic ammunition reloading boxes and cartridge cases
Each slot hold 2 standard cartos or 1 3.5 tank with tip.
For straight cartos (w/ tip), this is a perfect fit. - XS model
20 round sliptop ammo boxes by MTM Case-Gard™ - Plastic ammunition reloading boxes and cartridge cases
Gander Mountain has a good selection. I prefer the smoke grey. I label all my cartos and the case is transparent enough to read through.

Edit: both models are $4.99

Not nearly as elegant or well-made as the picture tyleris12 posted, but I store (and carry) my tanks in this thing I made out of a plank of wood:

The Tank Plank

Get a nice chunky block of wood from the hardware store. Sand it down, varnish and clear coat it. Next take a couple of bore drill bits of appropriate size to the top of it. This is my weekend project. My lady says if it looks good it can sit on the end-table by the recliner. Score!
