Greetings and gear question

[Kardath]

こんばんは！ Or good afternoon! So, been lurking for quite a while now. Figured I should say hi, pretend to be a little social. Computer/tech geek, college student (comp sci, Japanese) and former smoker. Started out with a janky spinner and cheapo tank a year or so ago, upgraded to an iStick 50w and Fogger v4. That worked for a while, but honestly it's tedious getting the wick just right, the deck is a bit small and the airflow was less than optimal on the tank. The mod had some issues (one of the cells was dead, soldering iron fried on a different project recently so couldn't replace the cell). Picked up an eVic VT and so far so good. Can't say I think much of the ego one mega that came with it. Wicking on it is pathetic, though less so on the rebuildable head. Seriously considering picking up a TFV4, but I'm thinking I may need to wait until after I've gotten more flavorings in for DIY as it guzzles juice from what I've heard. Loving temperature control, leads to silliness like the tank running dry and the only indication being that the vapor/flavor drops haha. Can't wait for there to be reasonably priced, higher capacity and more powerful TC mods available. I don't always (or even usually) use the higher power settings, but having them available is great.

I have a few RDAs, couple more in the mail (along with more wire, ni200 and ti in various gauges, and other toys), which brings me to my gear question: is there something for sale to conveniently carry multiple RDAs in your pocket without making a mess all over? A ziplock kinda works, and I could build something...but if there's already something reasonable around I'd rather not reinvent the wheel.

Hi and welcome to the forum.

I would say the easiest and most cost effective thing to carry RDAs would be a small ziploc. I wrap mine in a paper towel then right into a ziploc when travelling where I want multiples.

try 35mm film canisters

I've never seen anything specifically made for carrying drippers. I would just get a good rebuildable tank, which sounds like it would solve most of your problems. The uwell crown has been getting great reviews, and the lemo 2 is a very solid tank that's highly regarded. And it's been out long enough where if it sucked people would have moved onto the next one. My favorite is the delta 2 with the rba, it's fool proof and works great. I wouldn't run a super low ohm coil in it, but at 0.7 with 24g it has great flavor and vapor production, and it doesn't eat juice so much. The delta is my go to tank when I'm leaving the house.

Good to know I didn't just miss seeing a product. Custom construction it is. Just means I can build something to fit tanks and RDAs I suppose. I'm a bit of an oddball; I like to have my options with me. Multiple flavors depending on mood and time of day to drip, main flavor in a tank. So while I'm already in the market for more tanks, cash allowing, it would take significantly more tanks than drippers to solve my problem. ;p Even worse, cloud size changes based on location and company present. Makes for heavy pockets. At least I leave most of my rebuilding tools and supplies at home...

I like that one.

I used to bring so much stuff with me, but now it's just the ipv, Delta, maybe juice, and maybe a battery depending on how long I'll be gone.

Not bad looking, but not quite as sturdy as I need. I end up upside down and sideways trying to get behind computers for cabling and such quite a bit. Tend to forget I've got stuff in my pockets while trying to get the job done, so a hard case with something like those film canisters inside would be great. Probably end up finding some pipe or tubing with an inner diameter near 22mm to glue or screw into a hard case. Do appreciate the links though; those look like they could be useful in the future.

I use a small ziplock bag to place my ipv3-li when not in use.

Back when I used cartotanks, I used these "Thingies". Essentially a plastic jar with screw on tops. No leaking juice. Safe for a pocket or purse. $1.50 Different sizes available for different size attachments.
