So, got my Riva 510 in today, loving it. Bought from LF. Awesome people there. My issue now is finding a carrying case for the Riva. After looking online, I've decided that I don't want to spend 12-15 bucks plus shipping for a zip case. I looked at a local store in the camera department and found a digital camera case that has a ton of space, hardshell outside and only $9. Just wanted suggestions on what some people have used as alternatives to a carry case. Thanks peeps.

I got inferno case for free using points system @ volcano but I was using a portable hard drive case before I got that. Whatever fits works for me. Now I got a VV box mod sitting in the case instead of inferno. Fits perfect. with 2 6 ml bottles, 2 spare atties, 2 spare batt. Not that I need it all. I have another vv box mod and a 6 ml bottle on me at all times. What is in the case is just back up.

If you need a special case for your hardware, I think you should be wondering why you are carrying all that hardware in the first place. At one time I had a nice leather pipe pouch that I loved that you can buy at most tobacco stores. Of course the slow juice leakage eventually ruined it. These days I just stick three 510's in my pants pockets.

HTH,
Dave

I use a glasses case which is a kind of plastic tube. Got it (and a pair of reading glasses) at a dollar store my RIVA fits perfect. I have also used the plastic tube toothbrush holder from Wallace. It's a bit long but still worth it for the piece of mind that my pg isn't going to fire in my purse.

I tried setting up an old glasses case but sucked at cutting foam to make an insert and gave up on the idea.

I ended up creating several kits depending on situation:

Black standard Joye PCC - Great for going out, as 3 whistletip tanks and I'm good for a night

MapVapes Black "e-cigarette" PCC - Looks just like a pack of smokes. Holds 2x 510 and 6x carto so has perfect cigarette camo and great for during the day

Official Joye eGo PCC - That's my morning kit. Using a eGo-T (B) it's got a vial of USA/Milk Chocolate 24mg (I usually vape 5, 10 or max 18) plus a Mountain Dew carto ;)

Lastly I have the eGo carry case that holds 3x 10ml vials and 8 atty/cartos. That lets me mix and match flavs and different gear between the different batteries.

TL:DR version: One case didn't cut it for me - I went different mini-kits for different situations :)

I use a little digital camera case that I bought at Marshall's for like $3.99. When I head out for the day, I generally carry 5 regular 510 batteries, 1 eGo battery, a spare atty, a spare cartridge, a drip tip and 2 5ml bottles of liquid. It's more than I need, of course, but so was the pack or more of cigarettes I used to carry when going out for a few hours :p

I found a nice big zipper coin purse type deal on amazon. Amazon.com: Manhattan Portage Coin Purse: Sports & Outdoors - It's not cheap but the material is sweet, and it's big enough to hold a spare 900mAh ego battery, a 5-10ml bottle of juice, 2 attys w drip tips, and 4+ cartos.

I'll be using it to hold all of those fixins and a spare cr123a battery. It's not crush proof, and it won't protect or seperate your items, but it will keep them all in one place.

Wry my RIva I generally just slip it in my pocket and toss a 10ml bottle, spare bat, spare atty, and a drip tip in my cargo pocket.

But I do keep some extra hardware in my car For lunch breaks and w/e stored in a old cheap zipper psp case. It's far from reliable traveling around with it in my pocket or belt loop.

Me too inferno case with 5 3ml bottles spare tip so someone can try attys and alcohol prep bads to clean off battery and inferno (makes it non greasy if I get some everywhere. Can even squeeze more in if I had too. But they sell ego cases at madvapes pretty cheap in different sizes. Same thing

*****UPDATE*****

SUCCESS!!!! I was able to score a sweet Nintendo DS case at my local Walmart on the Clearance rack for 8 bucks. Plenty of space, even has velcro net liner to hold in eliquid bottles. Thanks for all your suggestions, I will keep this page bookmarked for when I'm feeling froggy for a new case and need some options.
