SandySu, I got the carrying case at the end of December, so I've had it for a while. I didn't notice an odor when I got it or when I used it. But after reading the posts about it smelling I got mine out, opened it and actually put it right up to my nose. I can detect a faint odor that is similar to the smell of new shoes. I guess the question would be whether our sense of smell is as subjective as our sense of taste.

The only folks having problems unfortunately were putting in the battery the wrong way (myself included)

About 2 months ago, my hubby put up some wooden vertical blinds that had been sitting in the garage for over a year. Undamaged, but had a bit of a mildew smell.
My point is, you volties having issues with the smell of the case, how about trying what we did? After installing the blinds, I sprayed them with Febreeze for about a week. The smell is gone! In relation to the stinky cases, why not leave them open with nothing in them, and lightly spraying them for a few days? It should work?!

If im not mistaken, the easiest way to tell if the carto's you do get are Real Vert carto's is look down the hole against any light and you should see through it. Thats been my very short experiance with them, I use a paperclip to punch any tiny amount of fillier that might block the hole. If you stick the clip in and theres alot of resistance, its not like the ones SI sent me with a straight through tube. If thats wrong advice, someone please correct me, its what ive observed so far and the hole is perfectly seethrough on new prefilled,s also. Smokless Image cartos are far better for some reason then a Bloog, the One Bloog ive tried so far was a dud after refilling. Not one of the SI ones have been.(only one refill on all 14 but still).

Hey guys. Quick question about my volt carrying case.
I'll get right to the point - it stinks! Literally!
Any ideas on airing it out? I put a carto and battery in it and they now both smell like off-gassed petroleum products.
You might try baking soda.
Since everyone else is playing around with Photoshop, I thought I'd play around with GIMP...
Hi Cisme! Love the avatar-and Sherlock, it's about time you put down that pipe and joined us Love it!
Love it! 
did anyone ever try any of the "marking carto" methods you were all talking about? I bought some tiny little circular stickers made by "avery" for marking pages. there is only 4 colours though.
Maybe you can do 4 categories of flavors and write initials on them with a sharpie?
yeah i was thinking of drawing a pic or a letter for the flavour on them, but i shoulda just got white then. Oh well it was only $1.88 I think white ones would be better, I tried useing this blank sticker and cut out a small peice but it just wont stick to the cartos.
i was looking for a white felt marker but couldnt find one at wally world (walmart)
I don't have one, but if I did, I would wipe it out with a mild vinegar/water solution and then let it air out overnight.
I bought a Brother P-Touch portable label maker, not the kind you connect to your computer. It arrived the other day, but I haven't tried it yet. Waiting for the sale so I can order cartos, then mark them with the labels. I got clear with white printing so that they will look OK on the black cartos or any other color SI might come up with in the future, though white with black printing came with the machine. Once I use it, I'll let everyone know what I think of it.
we have made no changes to the carto design since we began selling our cartos. Steel Jan still buys our cartos as well....
I am not sure what differences you have seen ....
A dry taste could be from having them be underfilled....

100% VG would definitely have wicking issues....
and not sure how thick the other PG VG juice you are using is...
thicker darker color liquids do not wick very well unfortunately... they have to be extremely saturated and kept that way to avoid a dry atomizer (which gives you the burnt taste)
I would suggest sticking with the prefilleds until you get past some of the analog withdrawls
or trying some clearer thinner juices with our cartos I am sure you will find a better experience.

Damn, guess I'm just lucky, can't tell you how many times I've droped mine LOL
