Plastic Tube Cover for Carts & Tanks?

[Gummy Bare]

I like to carry around a few different cartomizers with me so I can switch flavors during the day when I’m away from home. For the most part, they don’t seem to leak. But sometimes when a cart (or tank) is off the ego style battery and is flipping around the case in my backpack or car; it leaks. If it’s just sitting there on a table it seem to do okay, but when they get hot from the sun in my car or have lots of motion they will leak.

I was thinking... it would be great to have a clear plastic tube with caps on the end to place the cartomizers in. That way I could have multiple filled and off the battery and they wouldn’t leak into my backpack or nice carrying case. A tube that’s pretty much the same size as the Vision Stardust type cartomizer or vivi mini Nova would be grate. I’ve seen tubes kind of like the ones I’m asking about in workshops before with little screws in them.

So I guess my question is this. Does any vape shops sell cartomizer or tank “covers” or “tubes”? If not, does anyone know were I could find some that would work?

P.S. how do the fellow vapers on ECF carry around their filled cartomizers, clearomizer, and tanks? I know I could just put them in a plastic zip lock bag (which is what I did today), but that’s no fun at all. I’d love to have a perfect sized clear tube that’s sealed to place them in instead.

Pill bottles work well for me, various sizes can cover just about any need. A standard sized prescription bottle will easily hold 3 cartos or one tank. You might also check the bead section at your local hobby shop, they sell all manner of tubes for bead storage.

When I used to use cartomizers I'd have one installed and working and another just stored in the little rubber caps that they are sold new in. Keep in my pocket or in my little e-cig bag. If I wanted to switch flavors I'd just move the caps over to whatever I wasn't using.

Thats what i do as well. I had some little caps that came off modernvaport carts that worked for tanks too. They just covered the threads. Someone needs to sell those. T

Nice, thanks for the info guys. Pill bottles sound like a quick temporary fix for me. I'm gonna still hunt for a clear tube that's an exact fit for a clearomizer because I want it to fit nicely into my joytech zip up case.

The caps also sound cool your talking about. At first I thought you ment the plastic cap that went on the drip tip that comes with the tanks... but one that goes over the threads on the bottom sound nice to. If the top is caped and the bottom is caped, it should be good to go.

Thanks again

For cartos a TicTac box works great

Yeah, I have a nice joytech case that has elastic bands and pouches for clearomizers and batteries. I've had times where I can throw filled cartos and tanks in without them leaking, but sometimes they end up leaking all over. That's why I'm looking for some nice cover that's as small as the clearos. So I can still slip them into the elastic straps, but be insured they don't leak into the nice case I have.

The little plastic cases that Q-Tips come in for travel size will fit about 4 clearos in them.

The plastic battery cases for the larger 18650 batteries will fit clearos, too. http://www.rtdvapor.com/BATTERY-CASE_c9.htm

I save all of the rubber caps from new cartos, so I just put some of those back on. Then they get thrown in my pocket or my little zip case. At that point it doesn't matter where they go, no leaks if they're capped

These look interesting: SKS Bottle & Packaging, Plastic Bottles By Color, Amber Plastic Bottles, Plastic Bottles, Amber PET Slim Line Cylinders with Black Phenolic Dome Caps

ETA: I've also seen posts suggesting diabetic carrying cases.

Hey, now were talking. Thouse look pretty much like what I'm looking for. That site is crazy... custum tanks. Didn't know something like that was even around. So they make custume tanks that come without atimizers? They you gotta add your own?

They got some really cool looking stuff. I might be a little to new to figure thoughs things out.

I found this site that's got all kinds of tubes in all kinds or sizes and cap styles. I'm gonna have to do some research on finding the correct size of my clearos and tanks to make a correct order.

If I do and get the perfect size I'll post the info and product number on here so other can order them as well.

Thanks for all the help guys.
