Any suggestions for organizing cartos

[dna]

I've only been vaping for a few weeks, a KR808D-1, but it is really working out. We are still experimenting around here with flavors and strengths and so we haven't moved to filling or refilling our cartos. We may do that at some point, but for right now we're keeping it simple and buying the prefilled ones.

So I've been fooling around with what works for me - I figured out, for example, that first thing in the morning I need a low nicotine carto - it was a big surprise, since my morning smoke was the most "important" one to me, but I found myself vaping and vaping and making myself sick. And then during the day I like flavors, peppermint, some fruit and then in the evening I like something a bit stronger, and stronger flavors. So, in the course of a day, especially while I'm still figuring this all out, I have a fair number of open cartos "in play." Also, I can't always tell when the carto is dying or the battery is dying or I need to adjust strength - etc. So I end up opening more than I need.

So, that's a lot of little cartos and since I have a young child, I am trying to keep all of this stuff completely out of his hands. I have a little case that holds 6 cartos, but right now, in a given day I have about 10-12 around (I'm not vaping them all the way down, I'm just swapping them in and out.) So I've been toting them around in a large plastic ziplock bag.

I was curious to know if anyone had adapted or purchased any sort of clever little box to keep track of these things. I mean, hopefully I'll have this a little more figured out eventually, but I still imagine I'll be swapping cartos and flavors throughout the day.

Since you have a small child watching you stick them in your mouth..
I would suggest a small, lockable tackle box for your vape gear
you can put stikie notes/ tape w/ names of flavors on each divided section
mini rubber bands, multicolored are cheap and will help distinguish also
protect the child and vape happy

I use arts & crafts organizer boxes that have adjustable dividers. I then use a label maker so that I can keep track of my different flavors, blank cartos, and empty ones that need refilling.

Sporting goods stores sell plastic boxes to hold "bullets". The one I use is small, and holds 50 cartomizers loaded and ready.

I went to Target and found two perfect things. In the dollar bins there was this tiny cheap "divided organizer" with a hinged snap on lid. Five slots that fit about 4 cartos each plus a longer slot that will hold a few batteries (not XL.) Perfect for on-the-go and for sticking random cartos from sampler packs that I tried and might try again but only have one of. Then I got a small "tackle organizing box", one each for me and my husband that has 8 slots that hold 10 cartos each. It was an easy and cheap way to organize them, I'm quite pleased.

@pAth77...WOW! That's quite a stash you have there! Awesome!

I almost exclusively fill blank cartomizers, so I've just been keeping the juice and the carto together in a ziplock snack bag, with all the filled bags stuffed into a plastic box. Decent method, but it does require some digging around when you're ready to change flavors.

I think that this is the perfect idea for storing cartos. I picked one up at my local sporting goods store for $2. It's probably similar, if not the same, as yours. The slots are sized for .45 cal bullets. I always label the top of the carto condom so I know what's in them. Now, I just put them in upside-down when they're empty. I threw a handful of cartos in and took a pic for you guys. Thanks for the idea!

OMG that's perfect!!! I must pick one up! Tell me, does the lid still close with them in there? Cause that could be a deal-breaker if it doesn't...

That lid looks deep - looks like it would close.

Walmart in the office supplies section sometimes has little square plastic boxes with see-thru clear window and they are magnetic. They are about the same size on each side a cartomizers and someone said they put cartos on then and stick them in a metal toolbox. The little boxes are meant for paper clips.

 

[pAth77]

Yup, the lid closes perfectly. The mega-cartos, however, are too long. There are other case sizes that I am sure will fit the megas, but I opted for this one since I only have a handful of megas.

cool way of labeling the carts!
