Cut the bottom off of a 10ml syringe to make a nice little stand for an ego. You can use sections with a notch for button protectors and then make a tank/syringe mod all from the same one. I have a pimped ego that I use alot at home like this. I have my "Ashtray", which is a 16 position cryo vial box that holds 6 clearo's (for flavors) a few carts and an atty (in a cryo vial) for my daily and 4 510 batts. If you clip one post in a corner you can drop an ego in there too.

At work I have a company logo coffee cup that I drop my 510 into batt first. Keeps the tip clean.

You can get the cryo trays (and tons of cart/carto storage options) at USA scientific and they are fairly cheap. I saw yesterday that the 88 position "Carto" box was on sale for 3.99.

I went to Usa scientific and couldn't find anything for carts. Could you give me the exact name of the item? What 88 position "cart" holder? Thank you!

PP tip boxes have slightly smaller slots, best for carts, the others will be better for carto's.

This is a tip box I use for 50 carts (shown full of filled ones).
50-place BestBox Jr., natural

The cryo vial (shipping and freezer) boxes will fit condo'd carto's and tanks. They dont quite fit the cone atty's, but you can put them in upside down.

tip boxes fit carts, some will fit carto's with sleves. There is a huge selection here:
Polypropylene Laboratory Sample Storage Boxes from USA Scientific


Tube racks make great organizers just watch the diameter of the ones that you get, because they come in alot of hole sizes (wow, that sounded very adult video store lingo).
Microcentrifuge Tubes Racks from USA Scientific

Here is the one that is on sale for 3.95
81-place BestBox, neon red, inventory clearance

I'm sure those with the ego say the same thing. The battery is flat so I just set it on it's end on my desk or a nearby flat surface when it's not in use so that way the juice stays down by the coil. :) I carry it in a case my fiancee gave me for a set of old bose headphones she didn't have anymore. I actually made a thread about it in the ego section.

I just put my 901 auto in my jeans pocket but for a manual mini cig one of those plastic tubes that disposable e cigs come in make a great carrying case for those. For my ego & Riva I use a cigar tube. They come in all sizes. Then I put the cigar tube in my jeans pocket. I've been thinking about getting one of those Leaford Lanyards but I'm afraid it will draw a lot of attention. They are very nicely crafted and people might get curious and turn a night on the town into an education lesson. It would too because I love to talk about e cigs.

While I'm watching TV I stand my cigs in a shot glass on the end table next to my beer. I think rifle ammo boxes would work great too. They would probably only hold mini cigs though. I wonder if shotgun shells come in the same type of ammo box as rifle ammo. Those would hold several egos & Rivas plus others.

I use a Leaford Laynard and just hang it around my neck. Works great for me!

Ditto, the lanyard. The thing about me is, I'm rather forgetful. It's frustrating whenever I sit my eGo down and forget where I put it.

Prior to the lanyard I used a camera case. But I'm such a serial vaper that a case is worthless to me since the pv is almost always in my hand.

The selling point of the lanyard though was the eGo firing off in my pocket. Got the lanyard soon afterward. So now I just wear the darn thing around my neck and it becomes one less thing to fret over or have to look for since it's always there.

You needn't concern yourself about that. When not in use, the lanyard can be easily slipped under your shirt whenever you choose the carry your pv incognito.

I carry mine around my neck at home and when going out I put it under my shirt. If you want to make your own get the right size O ring from a hardware store, go to Micheal's and get some wire or the clips and attach it to a chain.

you can use Lanyards, chains, pre made eye glass necklace holder with the rubber O ring, but might need to make adjustment with craft wire to ensure the O ring is tight enough, wrap it around O ring to tighten, or you can buy some sort of clamp that may work as well. I found mine already made at Walmart. Works great with my Ego and will also work with the KR808-D if You snug up the clamp.
All my other supplies go into a glass carrying case. Or a plain jane makeup bag. My eye glass case has two side's one on top closes, where you would put the sun glasses or glass cleaner in. and the bottom is for glasses. I think I may have got it at Sear's Optical department. But I can put my batteries on one side and juice on the top side. It also has a magnet around the frame of the case so it won't just pop open. Pretty handy.
