Have to chime in here and go with the Plano also (I need stock in that company), actually, I think I need to upgrade and get me a second one before I place my order with GV.
Staying organized?

I keep moving thing around a bit, but the plano is an awesome system. This is a 737 model:

Wow! That plano is really nice. Maybe I can find one near me and see if I can spray paint it... lots of possibilities with that!
On the last pic-in the top right are a couple of Samba cases fully loaded with supplies, a diabetic supply case ready to go and a few mods. I just lift up that top section, grab a case and out the door I go.
If I am going to see someone and explain vaping and show the ropes, grab the whole tackle box and go. It is heavy when loaded up with supplies, but I can still lift it.
Look at your nearest Walmart or any other place that has fishing/tackle boxes.

Plano rocks. I like the separate deeper Prolatch boxes since I have lots of 10ml and 5ml and 3ml bottles 10ml will stand up in the deeper Plano boxes like 3630 (the medium width/length boxes. I think 3730 are the even wider/longer deep ones). You can get separate boxes or get many different totes and tackle boxes as shown about with multiple Plano boxes in the body and a deep compartment under the lid.
I went with one deep box first, then went to 12mg recently so I put my 18mg stuff and spare parts in one, and 12mg juices and cartos in another. Then got a 3rd deep one for DIY (I put the pipettes and droppers in the front section and divided up the back rows for flavorings)
Some of the complete Plano craft and fishing totes have 2 shallow and one deep and some have 4 shallow boxes. And some are really loaded with space like that one shown above.

I have this exact same box 
I love it! It holds a LOT of stuff

I'm seriously considering this plano box - it seems like the perfect solution. Right now I'm using the bowl system, lol...everything gets tossed the bowl on the coffee table
For labeling anything, white gaffers tape really helps. Gaffers tape is a cloth tape that audio/video/photo people use to tape down wires. It is similar to duct tape without the nasty glue. It can be ripped by hand if you don't have scissors, sticks well without leaving a nasty residue, and can be reused. It is very easy to write on because it has a matte finish.
See this link for an example Shurtape A&E 665 Gaffers Tape(White) 1 inch Goodbuyguys.com
I order the 2" for work and just rip it down to label. If you want to tape down computer wires, 2 inch is better.
I use it to label my juice bottles, cartomizers, atomizers, and Altoids boxes of stuff. With the atomizers I take the tape off to use it, stick it to my Plano box, and then put the same label back on to store it.
Gaffers tape is so handy for all kinds of things and comes in an array of colors. It great for temporarily holding things in place. A little expensive but worth it. You can find it at well supplied photo or theater type stores. Because it is a specialty product, you won't find it at Home Depot.

When you go look at them, take an atomizer, battery and a juice bottle or three of differing sizes. Pull the box down and make sure that what you will store in the box is going to fit in the allotted spaces. I promise you will not regret taking a few supplies with you-you WILL regret it if you don't and have to go back and do it again. LOL Been there done that! Yes, people looked at me funny, but the second time was a charm. Check the smaller included storage boxes for all the dividers. Some people remove them and put them in the ones they are buying and you get shorted. Learned this too, on my first purchase.
Wow ... I feel MUCH better. I thought I was going overboard. USPS and UPS bringing stuff almost daily but after seeing what ya'll have on hand I think I'm behind a bit. Thought I was done ordering stuff only to find out I now need a tackle box!!!
I know - it is getting ridiculous. My gear is everywhere - at least when it was tobacco cigs, it was just a lighter and a pack! haha - but this is so much better and worth the trouble!
Well, I went to my nearest Wal-Mart kinda store, which is Target. They did not have ANY tackleboxes. Zero. I was really considering getting one and painting it black.
However, I did find this!
And here's all my stuff inside...
The little elastic loops for holding brushes on the lid are going to be great for holding my batteries!

If your looking for a good, cheap box go to a local cigar shop and ask to look thru their throw a aways. You can usually find something decent. If not ask the owner if he could put something to the side for you. You might have to wait to find a nice box thats big enough for your needs. Alot of these boxes can be sanded down and refinished. You can go to a arts and crafts store to find materials to use for lining the inside. This way you can customize the box the way you want. Just a thought
Caboodles are wonderful storage for our gear. Glad you found one!!!! Looks nice and organized.
holy crap - that is heavy frickin' duty. I hope you don't carry that around town with you hahah!

Actually, mine is bigger than the one in the top photo, hah. It's about 2 inches taller.
I use this tackle box. I think it was $14 at wal-mart. Attys and carts go in the bottom drawer, others are juice, and the lid compartment holds stuff like a cloth for wiping carts and dabbing off extra juice.

lowes or home depot have every so often, aluminum toolboxes(look like a small suitcase) with little locking latches(for the little ones you may have) that work great to hold everything. I think I paid 17. sumthin for it. I do all of my mixing in it and put it away so my sweatheart doesn't gripe about all my crap.( doesn't stop her entirely by any means)
Very nice suggestions guys, when I need another container I will definitely check out the home supply stores.
Somewhere I've got an ancient caboodle that's huge... like 24" across... IF I can find it... I might have to put it up for sale on here!! hah!!
