battery stand or trays

[Jinx'd]

lets see what you have. idk just what I want yet, other than I do not want the cases. I want grab & go.

 

[gsmit1]

Waterproof and drop proof.

 

[Just Frank]

I have a few battery flasks for the spares that aren't in use.

For 21700's I just keep em in the snap cases.

 

[gsmit1]

Yeah, mine is 18650 only.

Whatever you choose make sure it protects from shorting.

I also have at least a dozen cases from LIW too. The Efest... thing... whatever you want to call my pic above is for carrying batteries with me. It's MUCH heftier and heavy duty than I thought before I got it.

My stored batteries just stay in plain 18650 cases at home, but this is my everyday carry:

 

[Letitia9]

I love these dispensers I got off ebay.

thanx, everyone. after posting this, I got to thinking (yeah, I do that sometimes ).

what I think I am going to do = get a nice piece of 1x3x5? wood. drill holes so the batts stand tall. then stain it up nice.
this way the batts are easy at hand.

One thing to keep in mind is how to keep the sets married. That is one of the reasons I use the cases because it is hard to mix them up but I have had 2 sets of 3 roll together and had to go by the markings I make on them.

made from 25 cent bamboo flooring samples from Lowes with a bit of glue and drilling.

I have them marked. if I had Manny money, I would get a bunch of different wraps.

If that piece of wood was say 2" thick instead of 1, you could drill the holes at an angle. Then if you set it on a flat surface the batts could point at or away from you. Or, could wall mount it with them pointing up. Wraps are cheap. I use diff colored wraps to keep them married.

Wraps average about 10¢ a piece so not a major investment. The old trusty Sharpie is the solution.

 

[gsmit1]

10 CENTS apiece and a nickel for adhesive positive insulator rings.
Here's a pair of VTC5a's I rewrapped using those last week.

Yep and Chewbacca is still there

 

[The Cromwell]

I like to put a piece of paper or thin label under the wrap with the battery info on it and use clear or translucent wraps.
Gettin old and need notes

Been fortunate though only had to rewrap maybe 4 cells in 4 years of vaping.

I won this in a rafle type situation. It was dontaed by @Absolute-Wood and it's awesome. Your post about wood and stain made me think of my stand.

 

[SteveS45]

Made a this to store Atomizers out of a piece of Aframosa had left over in the wood shop.



While it was a work in progress

These are nice but pricey. I have a small one that a customer at work gave me along with a bunch of vape stuff that went to ebay, made about 120 of it but kept the wood art box.

 

[gsmit1]

I have to make something soon. I have atomizers laying around everywhere.

I am still very new. but my batts look like bran new, sept for the - contacts are mildly skuffed

 

[Jinx'd]

just whipped this up, but its a decent prototype. that is luxury vinyl flooring and 4 nuts. high tech ayy.
the one behind it was the first = total half ass'd prototype.

Trick to making holders is to use graph paper and layout the center of the holes you want. Tape it to the wood and then punch holes with a nail at the center of all the holes. Remove paper and drill. Forstner bits do the best job.

I used masking tape. marked holes. predrilled. then a spade drill bit. turned out well enough. the next one I make will actually be nice.
and when I get my custom wraps, oh yeah.

That works, the graph paper just makes it easy to space things out evenly.

yeah, it would, if I had some.
