Hi all!

Just wanted to share with the group about a functional case for my PV kit. I found the case being talked about in another thread on EFC. It's Case Logic's Diabetic case. It can still be found in some Walgreens for around $14. It can also be ordered direct from case logic.

Being that the EMDCC's are quite long... They did not look to be compatible with the eGo case. So I thought to give this case a try, and it works great.





The case came in handy yesterday at the beach. I didn't know what flavors I wanted to vape there, so I loaded up 5 EMDCC's with JC's Swiss Dark, Solstice, Domestic, Marcado, & Wisconsin Frost. It's good to have choices! (I ended switching-up Domestic and Wisconsin Frost.)

On the right hand side of the case, you can see there is even plenty of room to carry the charger & USB cable for longer trips. All in all I give this case two thumbs up!:thumbs:

Additional note:

They're a pain to find because the case is not stocked at all Walgreens. If you don't see the case in the diabetic section... Look over in the section with the canes and walkers. That's where I found my case... Go figure!

26 days and I just threw one out. I started with 3 - 1 had bad threads and was never used - 1 has been cleaned once for a flavor change (ran out of the juice I started with) - and 1 has had the same flavor the whole time and just got a little weird tasting today. I might have gotten more use out of it if I wanted to clean it, but 26 days is plenty.

Glad I stumbled upon this thread you started. EMDCC's make vaping pretty much hassle-free.

Just of note... Madvapes is down to 300 units.
Pretty impressive they have sold 5,700 units in so short a timeframe.

Good find Kirwin. I believe I'll be stopping by Walgreen's later. :)

About a year ago I bought mine at CVS Pharmacy. I imagine they still carry them. It was in the durable medical goods section with mobility equipment and blood pressure cuffs. Living in California I keep mine stocked so I can grab it if there's an earthquake. LOL It works great!

Awesome snag! Glad for ya!

I liked the case so much... I knew that I had to share the 'news'.

Hopefully VeggieGirl has the same success as you.


Hey Kirwin, thanks again for the tip. Went to Walgreen's and found it right away. The cashier couldn't ring it up because it wasn't in their system. The manager had to go look up the price. For the delay he gave it to me for half price. Out the door for $8.01! Love it!

Blue Skies, JJ

I agree. A very high capacity cartomizer that performs well and is easy to clean and fill... That's a win even considering the minor issue that some of them need to be adjusted a bit to work. I'm pleased with them and they have found a place in my vaping routine.

There are a couple of reasons madvapes is selling them out so fast. Of course, madvapes is an excellent vendor, but setting that aside: They were the first vendor to offer them and they are selling them for a buck fifty less per carto than the other places that have them.

It looks like madvapes will be sold out shortly. I hope they restock soon. I'm not about to pay 4 bucks a piece plus shipping for these or any other carto... even though they work well, are easy to clean, are easy to fill, and hold a bunch of juice ;)

i wasn't able to stop by walgreen's tonight, but i did drive over to Welcome to SmokTek - The Better Smoking Alternative to see the 5-volt box mods. unfortunately, the emdcc would not work with the 5-volt mods, but, fortunately, the store owner, rob, sold me a smokbox vv mod!!! yay! he's getting ready to sell them in his store, and i think news about it should be on his web site sometime tomorrow (today, that is). it's a nice little box (very similar to mv's vv box mod) and i love vaping at 5 volts now! actually, i love having a choice of volts to vape at ... 5 volts is outstanding, tho!

if anyone wants a smokbox vv, go to the smoktek site and give rob a chat. i am definitely up late tonight enjoying my new vape! Rob also threw in a cool carto cleaning syringe for me to try. below are a couple of photos of the inside of the smokbox vv ... looks very clean inside and well put together ... feels nice in hand, too. i'm a very happy person tonight/this morning!! :) the photos show the smoktek vv with the emdcc attached ... life just got a whole lot better (first the emdcc's and now the smokbox vv)!!!!!!

Good for you. That does look like a nice simple VV box, very similar to MadVapes. Now that you've gone VV, it'll be hard to go back. :)

Two questions... whereabouts is SmokTek? I know area code 727 is Tampa Bay area and I go there often. And, what is the drip tip on your emdcc? Looks nice.

FYI - VV drains batteries. Those 14500's are cheap. An extra pair will come in mighty handy, especially now while you're on the VV honeymoon.

Thanks, JJ

Congrats on your new VV. Glad to see you were able to find one that works with the EMDCC. I bet it's an awesome vape. I'll just have to continue to vape my KGO/EMDCC combo in 3.7 ignorant bliss 'til I find a mod VV that feels like an anolog... Preferably in the shape of a classic style wood pipe.;)

Enjoy your new mod... And good hunting for that PV case at Walgreens. I'm sure your new VV will fit quite nicely in that case.

thanks! i compared photos of the inside of mv's vv box and the inside of mine, and mine looks a whole lot cleaner ... seems to be neater, tighter, and feels very solid. now that i know what higher voltage vaping is like, i can see why people spend so much for mods like the provari. btw, in the ealier post, i typed "rod" instead of "rob" for smoktec's owner's name ... sorry.

smoktek is in st. petersburg right now, but, in about 2 weeks, rob is moving the store over to st. pete beach (i love spb ... used to live waterfront just across the bridge from spb before i moved downtown! i miss that now!!!)

the drip tip is a delrin mega type b that i ordered from the west coast a few weeks back. i was surprised to find that smoktek sells them, too (for a great price), so i meant to pick up a few more yesterday but totally forgot. having the mega type b drip tips available in my neighborhood is just too good to be true ... saves me from paying shipping now.

jimmyjet: i do notice a little drain on the batts with the vv box(!) ... already bought 2 sets of batts last night, when i purchased the vv box. i think the vv honeymoon will continue for a long, long time.

the thing is, right now, i'm getting such satisfaction from the fuller-feeling/tasting vape that i seem to be taking slightly shorter vapes, but that could change as soon as i get my hands on a bottle of chocolate peanut butter fudge!! :) honestly ... after ya'll posted over and over about 5-volt and vv vaping, i just knew i had to do something and soon. i'm just glad everything worked out the way it did and i was able to purchase smoktek's very first vv-box. now, my ego's and kgo's are all charged up waiting for when i need to use them ... maybe for shopping, etc., places where i might not want to carry the box mod and possibly end up dropping it or losing it. i put my first set of drained 14500 batts on the charger this morning, and it took a little over 6 hours for the green (charged) light to stay on solid ... not bad.

txtumbleweed: thanks for the "heads up" and steering me over to smoktek!!! :)

kirwin: my 5-month-old kgo 1100's were tested under load yesterday, and they were firing at 4.1 & 4.2 volts. your kgo's are still amost brand new and should be firing every bit of that (i would think). part of my recent vaping problem was that i was filing with some crap juices i tried to mix up (most everything i had was 36mg nic) trying to lower the nic level to around 3-6mg. i ended up with washed out flavor and juices that were clogging the emdcc a little ... very frustrating for me. rob gave me a bottle of zero-nic coffee and now my kgo's/emdcc seem to be doing a much better job (lots of variables, huh?). i have an order for 180mg of juices that i love on the way right now. :) didn't mv start off with about 20,000 emdcc's toward the end of june/1st of july? i still have to make it over to walgreens for that cool logic case. i'll sure need something very large like that from now on. when i had a flat tire the other night, all i could think about was possibly being stuck on the highway without spare batts, cartos, and juices (and the little tool for adjusting the center post of the emdcc's). lol i probably do need a 3rd set of the 14500 batts!
