yeah, my carts with both condoms on, are falling from the top slots every time I open it.
It's a real pain.

Is this safe to do? Someone had mentioned the condom activates the vaccuum?
Just got mine and while it seems to drop things, I like it over the thinner cases.
Might not fit in my back pocket but it's sweet!!!
Looking forward to the improvements but this works awesome for now.
Great work guys!!!!

Just got mine today and not very happy. I thought I would love it but the cartridges fall right out and I wish that it opened up flat. My batteries fall out too, never tried with condoms on them. Oh well, I will just return this one and get something else.
good to see this thread and the condom suggestion for batts. i only just got mine so i haven't seen the falling-out problem -- yet.
oh, and do let us know when the next 'order' of the cases come? and i'll get another. for now, after reading through, the suggestions help.
i'd think putting a condom on the battery end would cause the simulated suction? how would it do so from the ash end?? i'm confused.

Pull one of the condoms about 1/8 inch away from the end of the carto- makes it longer 
so it fits nicely in the case
so it fits nicely in the caseI got my case today too and I think the size is fine. I had a bit of trouble getting the foam cut-outs out so I could put my batteries and carts in, but I finally figured out how to do it.
This is going to work out much better than my old eyeglass case!

I tested mine at work today. It's not good. The foam's too stiff and deep for batts, hard to get to them. The cartos slots, even with condoms on are too wide. They all fall out. It's a messy storage set-up...I was so looking forward to these cases too....

I agree not a good design and not tested at all
It would be better to just take the foam out and just throw evwything in
I'm disappointed
I'm not sure how it works but One day for some reason or another I put a condom on the ash end and noticed the led light came on I thought it was kind of neat since I do not have any manual bats So now when ever I need a quick heavy hit I slip on a condom and it heats my carto up nice and I can take a drag with out a primmer puff It works even better If you use a but plug on the ash instead of a condom
so this is an auto batt thing, not a manual one?
and i'm so sad to read all this about the case. i just tried to jostle mine around a bit to see what happened, and the cartos on top came loose, but not OUT really. and i put a condom on the batt end of one of my reg manuals and that, at least, stayed put. i suppose if i leave a cart on said reg batt, it'll fit okay, but i'd put a condom on the mouthpiece end of the cart for added insurance it stays put. it's the batts i don't want jostled around, the carts i can deal with. i've had two batts drop and have been lucky they still work.
so i mean, i paid for it, i'll make it work somehow until they actually test the next one and modify the insides for keeping things in better. hell, i'll line the grooves with some kleenex to make it 'tighter' in the meantime, if i must.

My batteries fit snugly and don't budge. The cartos do fall out, though. As long as you close the case like a book, it should work out ok.
I agree that as it is shipped it does not suit, the top portion did not hold carts with endcaps or batteries with booties when top closed.
However, I really do think the case has potential if you are willing to be creative and cut some new foam for the lid. The top piece pulled out fairly easy on mine as half of the adhesive sticker was still in place. I am thinking of making a spot for a couple bottles of juice and 4-6 carts vertically on the top. I also think that if I cut out the center portion of the cartomizer section on the bottom it would hold normal length batteries well. Just need to find something to hold the juice well enough to contain any leaks... perhaps one of those terry lined shower caps.
Off to find the foam, glue gun and scrap velvet. If it works out well I will post a picture. If anyone else feels the urge to be creative I would love to see what others come up with.
**** Word of caution to V4L packing people, mine was crushed in on itself when I received it. Top popped out but marred the outside finish in the corner that over lapped the other. I would suggest bands of some sort around both sides to stabilize when shipping to prevent damage. It was the substitute mail guy today and he is always rough with deliveries but I think that is a fairly common trait amongst mail carriers.

Im getting my xl case today...when it comes in I'll make the propper mods to fit my juice and carts and post my pic..then we can compare and find the best solution possibly a couple of great solutions for everyone who thinks it needs to be a little better.
and maybe while Im at it Ill do a few inserts for different purposes like If i need more juice than carts or more carts than juice or both....this will be a fun little project ....Now if only I was home with the package already
I love my new case. Actually, only one of the battery slots is a bit loose and if I hold it upside down, the one battery falls out. If I open it like a book, everything stays put just perfect. If the slots were any tighter, it would be a pain to get the batteries out I think. Try opening and closing your case as you would a book and see if it works better for you.
I think softer foam would have been better.
The foam is too hard and sometimes it's a pain to get the battery out.
