Any ideas? Googling and Amazoning those dimensions plus case has yielded nothing useful. I just want to be able to carry my Bloog PPC, at least one 3 mL bottle and at least one extra cart. Preferably the case would have elastic on one side to hold the bottle and cart securely and a pocket or elastic on the other to hold the PPC. A zipper and a hard shell of some sort would be nice, too. I've been looking at camera and gps cases but they either don't list the dimensions or they're too big or there are no pockets or elastic at all. Can anyone point me in the right direction? And, with so many manufacturers, why are the storage solutions still so slim?

I did a few searches for you just now. I have a feeling you will need to add the elastic yourself. It is very easy to do. pick up a section of it in any craft store in the sewing section, then just tack it on. Plenty of websites out there will explain how to tack into a pre made item if you look (this is of course if you are new to sewing.)

Also, might check out the container store website.

Thanks for looking for me, Serianna. I know how to patch knees in jeans, but maybe velcro would work better in this situation? After hours of looking, I found this, but I wish there were a way to check it out in person before ordering it. I may call around to the Best Buys and Apple stores in the area.

Edit to add:
So, I just ordered
this to carry the basics around with: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004CM7YBU
this to carry more stuff for travel: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0031LEFNS
& this for my currently very disordered vape drawer: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003FMHXD2

Assuming these all wind up suiting their intended purposes, I think the only other thing I'd need is a container for the juices in the fridge, but I bet I can find some little plastic thing at the 99¢ store for that.

My Acme Made case (linked above) arrived today. It fits the PCC case perfectly and has an additional pocket which can hold two assembled batts and cartos, a 3mL bottle of juice and two additional cartos or a comparable assortment of gear. It also looks nice, has hard but nicely textured shell to protect the contents and has a sort of protective nylon shield on both sides inside the zippers to keep anything from falling out. Definitely, recommend it to anyone else looking for a case to carry around a PCC and a few additional items. I haven't tried, but I'm pretty sure it would also fit my iPhone and headphones would go in the pocket with room to spare if that helps with the idea of its size.

So, I ordered my three containers and got everything organized and was feeling really self-satisfied and then I ordered a bunch more gear and now nothing fits again, lol, and I'm back to 3 boxes (one for cartos, one for empty bottles, one for batteries & chargers) in the drawer plus the cocoon in my bag (which has turned more into a purse organizer than anything to do with vaping) and the tiny essentials case and the box of liquids in the fridge. This is getting kind of ridiculous.

LOL . . . vaping may take less money than smoking, but it sure takes up more space!!:laugh:
I converted my breadbox into my vaping storage so I could at least keep it all in one, out-of-site location that is still convenient for daily PV maintenance. I think I've settled down enough that this will be my solution for quite a while. We'll see when I place my monthly order in a couple of weeks!:unsure:

I had to do a little fiddling to get it working for me, but I haven't "rearranged" in weeks now. The things I need every night are kept in the wooden block I made to pull out easily for refilling. I use a tray that came filled with assorted wood screws some years back to hold my row of juice, opened cartos/clearos, q-tips, extra drip-tips, and the like. My first PV is stored in it's original box with my back-up batteries on top and unopened cartos in front of it along with my distilled water for thinning the VG I always add. The only other thing is a small basket lid that houses the "junk" that I could probably toss, like cartos I've "thought" about trying to clean and left over condom caps.

As you can see, I don't use or keep a large supply of anything. I try to make sure I have enough juice and cartos/clearos for a month. That's about the only way I can keep my shopping in check. :) I've finally broke even and beginning to run at about half of what smoking used to cost me and I've found "my flavors". It's become pretty routine for me these days. I refill every night after doing dishes right there next to the sink so I have good light and easy clean-up even when I'm fumbling my supplies!:laugh:

You'll find what works for you. It may take a while and some growing room, but you'll find it! Best wishes!!!!
