Extremely cheap, simple 510 carrying case

So, if you're like me and on a budget, This is a great simple cheap way to carry all of your 510 stuff when you're on the go. I can't take credit for this, my father actually came up with it. Just thought I'd share it with you here.

All you need to buy is a pack of regular altoids, and a pack of altoids smalls. The smalls tin holds 5 carts PERFECTLY and the regular tin will hold the smalls pack with your cartridges, 2 batteries, an atomizer with a cart attached, and a small 5ml bottle of eliquid. I would recommend folding up a paper towel and placing it in the bottom of the altoids tin for padding, otherwise things tend to clink around. Hope you guys like the idea.

But we don't need breath mints anymore, stinky analogs are gone! :lol:

Fantastic Idea. I will have to steal the cases from my daughter. She loves those things.

I did a similar thing...

Altoids tin, then used some foam packing material -

- a full layer across the bottom, topped with cut pieces glued in place to make the 'grooves' for the e-cig components. (tired cutting grooves into a thicker piece - didn't work so good...)
- used a dab of glue in each corner inside the lid for a piece of that open, cushioned shelf liner - holds things in place and give me a place to store that all important straightened paper clip...

Mine can hold:
- 4 carts, 1 atty, 1 battery
or
- 3 carts, 2 attys, 1 battery
or
- 2 carts, 1 atty, 2 batteries
or
- well, you get the idea...

I like your idea of the mini tin inside the big tin to hold the carts - and the mini juice bottle...

Just thought I'd share about the packing foam/shelf liner idea... then you can customize any way you like. Maybe just a layer of the shelf liner cushion in the bottom and top would do it for your configuration.

I also pulled the long side of the tin bottom out in the middle, just a touch, to make the 'latching' of closing the lid more secure...

For what it's worth...
