Right now I am using the Protank mini 2 and the Davide mini simultaneously. I must say they are both great, but I have something on my mind at this moment. I am practically using the Davide mini box to keep its respective tank when not in use. The Protank mini 2 I just leave it out since it will not fit in the box when fully assembled.

I have been shopping around for a durable but small case to keep them in since I do not want to store them in the same place as my batteries. I find it difficult to find one for them. So far I have found these:

Black Ops 4 Cigar Travel Humidor (still a little big)

[/h]Cig2go case: (I am thinking of cutting bigger fittings to put tanks, but with no info on dimensions, I am not sure if it is possible)

Cig2o Carrying Case



Other than these possibilities, has anyone found a case for Protank mini 2/Davide mini?

I am also thinking of using the Protank mini 2 box and placing some cutout foam in it.

Any ideas are welcome. Thanks.

I had the thought about the tubes while replying to your post. If you cut down the tube, put a bit of cotton or foam at the bottom and top and used a cork or something, it would fit in your pocket. I live in the woods with a whacko dog so always trying to figure out how to protect my stuff while out and about--and from him. :laugh:

I lined a metal mint tin with some craft foam. It looks a lot like this (this is someone else's photo of a similar concept).

Wondering if you could modify a cigar tube. Looks like they might be about the same diameter.
I've also got a couple of these lined with craft foam. Evod or Mini Protank on a 650 mAh fits right down in there. It is essential, however, to drill some holes in it. An airtight tube will force juice out of the tank when you close it! :)

These are both fits-in-my-pocket options.

madqatter,

I was thinking along the same line with the metal mint tin. I am planning on actually cutting out a sponge and cutting long holes which will let the tanks sit snug in the sponge. I can probably line the top with crafting foam though. Thanks!

On another note, your comment regarding the airtight cigar tube and pressure. I am wondering if taking a tank filled with e-liquid onto an airplane will have the same effect?

Sounds like a good plan! Let me know how it works out. :thumb:

I haven't tried it, myself.

I learned the hard way with the cigar tube. I put an air hole in it before using it, anticipating the problem, but accidentally closed the tube with the hole covered. I was very glad I had lots of paper napkins in the car with me, and immediately made plans to add more holes. :facepalm:
