I just noticed the other day, while at Wally World, that I was scanning shelves and looking at display trays and such for possible nic juice storage possibilities. When we first began vaping we found a store that had a couple of empty candy display trays that held 18 of the 10ml bottles perfectly. The habit continues despite the fact that we have since created a great storage container in a nice dark wood, blue velour-lined silverware box.
I find I'm not really looking at the store product as much as the container holding it. A button/snap display turned into another 18 bottle container and small Philips earphone zippered cases are now used to carry our RN4081s when we leave the house. They hold two batteries, 3-4 filled carts, atomizer, paperclip, and small 2.7ml bottle of juice. The drip-top bottle, by the way, is converted from Walgreen's breath drops (2 for $1).
Anyway, it's a fun scavenger hunt every time we hit the stores.

LOL...I wonder sometimes if I will ever find that one item to satisfy these particular needs I have from time to time. Being fairly new to vaping I worry of being off and not having what I need so I carry this little plastic pencil caddy around that has my charge,extra battery or 2, attys, liquid (3 20mls various flavors), and a few blank carts. It's not as big as you might think. It's 10" long X 2.5" Wide X 1" thick. It's real handy.

I suppose once I feel more confident, I'll scale down a little.

It's an obsession. I'm always looking for something 'better' to carry my stuff in. I'm a bag-lady at heart too. The bags I've collected thru the years are to die for, only the best of the best usually found in thrift shops but....I'm always on the prowl for that better one. It's just fun!

For now I've settled on the little zippered Case Logic thing to carry all my vaping essentials. It's small and holds everything in its place, and is just long enough to even hold an extra 510 or 901. But surely there's just got to be something better out there, right?! :D

P.S. I also love office supplies and tools. I'm a sucker for that new mechanical pencil, that new file folder, that new anything! Currently I'm on the search for the world's tiniest screw driver, with a flat head large enough to fit the screw on my Janty Stick. I'll find it one of these days, and then be looking forward to finding something better.... I'm always amazed at how small things can bring such joy. :D

HA finally someone that understand office supplies like me! Thats all mom and dad had to get me for christmas, cool pencils, pens and paper (and a stocking full of Nyquil but thats a story for a different day). As for the screwdrivers if you have a local Harbor Freight my husband has tons of TEENY TINY barely seeing the head screwdrivers from there. THey have lots of them in cool little cases. He needs them for when I drop my phones in the potty and he has to take them apart and fix them.

$3.99 at Walgreens. Dump all the little screwdrivers, keep the one that fits your ecig and the tweezers, then use the bag for your PVs and stuff. That's the way I do it and it works!

for the stuff i keep at home, I am definitely going to need a tackle box of some sort. First, the carts, I need a place to put-wired-tried-expired, for each flavor. Then there are new carts, juice bottles, etc
Might I add I am not the most organized person in the world, and I always swear I will remember which cart is failing or which battery is fully charged, but then forget!!

I'm still in search of a small pump bottle for my juice. I got the smallone from Johnsons Creek, but that is still too big to carry around.
Any suggestions?

I ordered 3 bottles of different juices from Totally Wicked with my 510 starter kit and pcc they sent me a nifty little 3ml squeeze drop bottle with the 2 10ml glass bottles and 1 30 ml glass bottle i use the little one to mix flavors in or just to keep a little extra in my car but i keep 3 filled carts in my PCC along with the one im currently using, ive been using the PTB mod in my carts and i usually kill the battery b4 the cart, i love my pcc

but the little bottle is nice its about 1.5" high and 1/2" diameter and the nice thing is u can take off the dropper and just put liquid into the bottle then put the dropper back on and a lid screws on over it :)

God we're sick, but this is so very true. Walking into a store is always a new adventure. I think I'm going to have to hit the head shop close by to see what they've got as far as cases go. I know they sell padded "pipe" cases as well as analog cases of all shapes and sizes. Oddly I have not checked here since I started regular vaping. Might have something to do with the fact that it's "technically" the tobacco shop I bought my analogs from.

Now that is a good idea. Hadn't thought of those. I've been thinking about keeping an eye out for one of these old apothecary boxes for home storage...

Hey thewomenfolk...and others....I found this a while back. Maybe you could get a screwdriver bit for this! LOL
