precision screwdriver set
~ 10 meters of kanthal wrapped around a small spindle (when it gets low, I just clip another 10m off my big spindle and wind it onto the small one - it's more portable that way)
Cotton
nail clippers
offset tweezers
A quilting pin (the knob on the top makes it easier to hold onto while coaxing the coils into a better position)
two of the blue screwdrivers that come with rebuildable atomizers - one philips, one flathead
A few sheets of "vaper towel"
One of those cheap rubber atomizer stands
An extra MVP charging cord
A 15 ml bottle of juice, in case I forget to grab some or run out
Two extra blunt tip needle caps

It all fits in one of those little Ego cases I had lying around with room to spare. My MVP2s have ohm meters built in, so I don't generally carry my dedicated ohm meter around.

Vaper towel? Atomizer stands?

aerin's already covered "vaper towel" = paper towel (meant to clarify that in my original post, sorry).

These are atomizer stands:

It's so that your atomizer can sit stable on a flat surface without having to lie it on its side - handy for rebuilding or for swapping tanks/atomizers. Anything with Ego threading doesn't need a stand to sit flat when it's upright, but things that are 510 threaded (protruding pin on the bottom) do.

I have a few aluminum stands for rebuilding at home, but the rubber ones are more handy for out and about because they don't get dented or scratch surfaces the way the aluminum ones can.

Thanks! I thought those were like a beauty ring awesome anyone have a link to rubber ones?

The rubber ones are often sold as "Ego stands" because they'll also fit Egos, but they work the same as the aluminum ones for rebuilding (or for being able to store your tanks/atomizers upright). I got mine free from my local B&M, but here's a link to some online. I've never used the vendor in that link, so I can't vouch for their reliability.

I have two sizes of ekowool, organic unbleached cotton, 100% sterile cotton, scissors, wire cutters, tweezers, small and large hemostat, butane torch, a roll of stainless steel mesh wicking material, silica wicking material, syringe needles, various sizes of screw drivers, efest batteries, o rings and washers, alagator clips, magnification glass, magnet, pliers various sizes, two digital ohm testers, replacement tank parts, needles and 0.5*0.1 kanthal flat ribbon wire. I have a build station set up in my kitchen and these things are in a kit container on my building station. Hubby does not mind because I build for him as well. :)

Another thing I have found invaluable is these lil "coin" bags... they work for everything... wet coils, cotton balls, o rings, just about anything... I keep a few in my kit just in case...
