Hi,

I use my precise when I'm going out, and wanted to keep what I carry to a bare minimum. I found that a 501 PCC was way too big for me. (Yeah, I know packs of cigarettes are big too...)

I feel like a 10440 battery usually lasts 1.5 standard 501 carts worth (blue foam mod), but I haven't really tested it too much. So I wanted a way to carry an extra battery, atomizer, and 2 carts. This is the smallest container that I found, so I wanted to spread the info. Its one of those tiny altoids tins:

Its metal so it stands up pretty well to back pocket abuse.


I also wanted a case that could also hold the precise for throwing in a bag or back pocket, partially because i'm a little paranoid about the button firing according to murphy's law. I was at a case distributor with my dad and saw a pelican 910 memory card case (the 940 is the same case with a different liner). I guesstimated the size with my precise, took it home with some 1/2 inch foam and made this:

pelican closed

It works really well for me and the foam keeps everything from rattling when its closed. It fits in my pocket much better than a 510 PCC because of the tapered sides. I leave the precise in there with 2 charged batteries and 3 full carts. When I'm running out of the house late for something (happens often), i can pull the atomizer from my SB, put it next to the spare battery and run out and even if the cart is near empty I have a full 2 batteries worth in there.

Hope this helps some folks, and let me know what you all use!

This is the one that I purchased, because it appeared to be designed to hold larger pens, and looked to be one of the better cases. The quality turned out as hoped and the Pricise is a perfect fit.
Just search "leather pen case" as I am sure some of the others will work, now that I tried this one.

Aston Leather Two Pen Case in Black - eBay (item 110524126300 end time May-01-10 10:49:43 PDT)

I also have a three pen case on the way, from another brand. It stated having floating dividers to hold any size pen. If I am lucky, it will hold two S6s and supplies. Will wait and see.

Later
Bob
