Bead tubes - perfect for Tanks and Cartomizers!

[Thrill]

I finally took a bunch of pics of my vape gear/accessories, so I'm posting quite a bit this afternoon.

I purchased two of the tank Cases here:
Tank Case - $2.99 : Big Daddy Vapor

Then I remembered seeing storage tubes for beads at Hobby Lobby. I make pretty lanyards for my badge at work (must be worn and visible at all times), and so I'm always stopping by the bead aisle when I go for anything crafty. These are super cheap and seem perfect for vaping supplies!! There's a small size (cartomizers/atomizers), and a larger size (tanks, whatever else).

Deprecated Browser Error - hmmm...not sure why it says that...it's still taking me to the Hobby Lobby site.
You get 4 big tubes for a little over $2, and 6 of the smaller ones for the same price. Can't beat that!!

Here are some pics in use (the shorter tubes with the white lids are the ones from Big Daddy Vapor:

That's an awesome idea, probably a whole lot cheaper too thanks for sharing

Do you have any idea what they are made of versus what the regular tanks are made of? And where do u get the caps and all that to make them tanks? I just got my first tank, 6ml dc tank from v4l, and love it but I would love to pay under $13.99 for a new one

This rocks! Thank you for posting this. I've been bummed because the Stardusts werent' very transportable. I'm betting I can find a size that will prevent separation/leaks.

Great idea! Hobby Lobby is a great place, gotta respect that they stand by their beliefs and close on Sunday.
Thank you very much!

Very Nice Thrill.

Do you use a P-Touch Labeler to make the Labels?

It is a Dymo Letratag (I think that's how it's spelled). My daughter asked for it for Christmas a few years ago, so I swiped it from her.

Stealing things from your Children... Sounds like Something I would do. LOL.

The Labels Look Great. I have a P-Touch and it makes the same type of Labels.

The tanks were made with 20 CC syringes. Cartomizer syringe mod design by David - YouTube

I bought the supplies to make the tanks at Farm and Fleet, but they can be found at many places. The tubes that they are inside (for travel/storage) were purchased at Hobby Lobby.

What a great tip! Thanks! The pictures really help to see that bead tubes could work well with almost any size pv.

You can take you tank caps to most any hardware store and purchase some vinyl tubing to revamp your tanks, plus the vinyl won't crack or color from fruit ejuices. Worked like a charm for me, stays very clear too...

Thrill, would you come to my house and straighten out my mess of vaping equipment? You did an absolutely great and very creative job.
