As Stehle wrote, removing the inner ring does enlarge the opening (though not the actual tube). Since I don't have a manual I don't know if it's just the opening that's the problem but I do know that removing the inner ring is a piece of cake. I did it to mine b/c I took off the ashcap (LED cover) and replaced it with a black rubber "cart condom?" to really minimize/hide the LED light for stealth vaping. The condom I used goes over the outside of the 901 and thus made the end wider by about 3/32" and it fits easily with a little room to spare.

Don't throw away what you've got, it's probably modifiable to fit! Also, different stores carry different sanitizer sprays and each have pros/cons (I personally like the ones with the peal-off label as they're very easy to make generic).

Excellent suggestions nekkidnorman! :)

Cool idea.

I like the waterproof part... I carry my KR8 around at work in my pocket usually... But I work with a lot of nasty chemicals like muriatic acid and industrial alkaline cleaners that will eat a hole through your clothes.

This seems like a good solution to keep any nasty stuff off my trusty KR8.

I'll have to check this out.

I thought this was really neet nice idea! i made my own case and wanted something to carry som 5ml juices two batterys and carts and attys in one pocket size awesomeness! I saw that diabetics kit that was cool but i found a way to make my own. I used an old digital camra case that had one flap to open. I took foam from some packaging i had lying around and cut vertically in the foam 2 spaces for batteris two for carts and one extra addy and a big whole for 1 5ml bottle of e juice. Its cool i just used an exacto knife to make it perfect. its kinda hard to explain but it is an easy trick! i will post the pics of it later if anyone even likes it? but i think its cool because you can fit it right in your pocket and the foam keeps everything together!

To the OP, very cool case idea. Just got my 510 yesterday and went and did this today and its perfect. This and my PCC is all I need!

Thanks!

Jim

Happy Vaping in the future Jim! :)

I just checked my bathroom drawer and found one I had gotten free with a bunch of other stuff at Walgreens last year. The best thing is, it had a plastic cover on it so I just peeled it off and now it is clear :) Might try painting it though. Thanks for a great idea!!

Wow sherlynn found a FREEBIE!!!! Yay! I love it when that happens! :) Good luck with your cosmetic mod! :)

Trust me... dropped in a cooler 3 times, once in a bait-well and once in a toilet... yeah... I'd have to say its waterproof. :thumb:

Hope it helps! :)

Thanks to you all for sharing... you made my weekend! :)

(A Super Bowl weekend at that!) ;)

Got mine at Dollar Tree, worked perfectly (CVS one didn't fit my 510)
For the ladies, Dollar Tree also has those eyeglass chains with the elastic loop ends that fit over the clip for some fashion neckwear
(Sorry if the latter comment has already been posted, tried to wade through all the other posts first).
Also the Dollar Tree bottle has a small opening at the top of it's clip, fits a keyring well. I slipped the keyring through and then attached a belt clip. Works well! Will take some pics of both tomorrow.
I plan this weekend to hit the craft store for some novel way to cover the unsightly sanded bottle.
Since I can't afford to buy a lot of gadgetry, this is part of the vaping "hobby" aspect I'm really enjoying...
Thanks to the original poster!

You are very welcome DeaninSJ! :) I'm very glad you found it useful. :)

Found two different types at Dollar Tree - one with the all green cap that looks just like the one from the original post and one that came with a mostly clear cap (which has a sticker so no sanding :)
Gonna try painting it black with the Plasti-dip tonight or tomorrow :)
Thanks for the info, Stehle! Just what I wanted...a decent way to carry my 510 without having to break it down! :D

LOL this is great info.

sherv101 posted what I found this thread again to say just now about Dollar Tree.

There are 2 kinds. The one with the all green cap - this one is longer by a few cm...

Then there's the one with only a green dot in the cap. This is the score for sure, because as sherv101 said, no sanding...

Also, the green dot cap model has a solid cap. If waterproofing is a concern as has been discussed, DEFINITELY go with the shorter model with only a green dot in the cap. The other, longer one with an all green cap has ventilator holes all around the top of the cap.

The all green cap bottles are longer, but not long enough to stash anything else besides your e510 inside, and they are the ones that need sanding/inner padding! Pfff... come on!

Green dot in the cap = good
Solid green color cap = bad

It's easy to remember if you recite this little ditty all the way down to Dollar Tree...
"The choice is clear, and the cap is, too, except for that dot I so wish were blue."

Say it out loud.

Oh, and the brand is AssuredX. I've been using mine on the go all afternoon and evening just like someone might use ChapStick. I take the case out of my pocket, only partially remove the e510 because I put the rubber gasket back on the case and hit it while only 2 inches extended. Then I snap the cap back on and put it back in my pocket. No questions from strangers in public places but they did notice me. Jealous smokers are what they are...

Also, it looks totally cool to vape that 510 inside the plastic case. The blue LED makes the plastic mod/case glow just like a lightsaber. There's a guy running around online calling himself Darth Vaper. I wonder if he'll ever see this thread. Shouts!

Finally, since you've read this far, I am gonna hook ya up...

They also have 3ml dropper bottles, the same as many of you have seen advertised... 3 for a buck. They are filled with green and red and blue breath drops, but the bottles are the same as I've seen selling for 3 times that Stateside. Empty those bad lads out and use Goo Gone on the sticker crud. I boiled 9 of those bottles earlier this week but they still smelled only slightly minty. A final vodka rinse cleaned them properly. That's it! 15 of those little take-along bottles for different cig flavors for only 5 dollars. And they are filled with minty syrup when you get 'em! That's the b0nUs. That's the treat. Dollar Tree can also help you be a wifi ninja. Next time, next time... The point is that they are your single source for better living. You go for the e510 case mod; you stay for the tiny dropper bottles 3 for a buck! What's next? Mini MagLight Mods? Get.. OUT!

Hmmm... Okay, To enhance my 510 arsenal that I already have; I've been thinking of getting a Joye eGO for fishing, boating & basic outdoor stuff. Does anyone have a similar idea for a case to fit the eGo (Extended Length Battery)

I love recycling and help, so please lets all put our idea caps on for this one! ;)

Thanks!:)

Will it fit a 510 batt with an atty that has the Delrin Drip Tip?

Not quite sure cdrtrip, but with accurate measurements (end to end) I might be able to say, as I have most "sanitizer spray" tube variants.

Still looking for a similar case for an eGo... anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks! :)
