Battery Storage Help Please

[addict]

I have ordered a provari with 3x18350 and 3x18490 AW batteries. I need something to store the batteries safely. Can anyone, please, suggest a suitable storage case or bag. Links to vendors would be really helpful.

Don't see one for 18490's though. Unless you put them in an 18650 case. www.vapeescape.co.uk/clear-battery-case~350

Thank you Ewol. I had looked on Vape Escape's website and couldn't find them. I take it the 18490s will fit in the 18650s case, so I'll go ahead and order them. That's me sorted. Thanks a million for replying so quickly.

Yeah, I just reread the description and it says it's suitable for smaller battery sizes. Should do the trick!

I store my 18350s in old spec cases which are then put inside a metal money box.

These can take 2 x 18650's
or 4 x 18350s.

Looks like the exact same one on VE, but it's cheaper on VE.

Just saying.

I've ordered the storage cases from Vape Escape. I might rummage around the house to see if we have a metal box. Can't be too safe. I never thought of checking for some kind of safety bag for charging, but I suppose that can wait a while. Think I've already spent more than I ought.

Depends how many you order.

If you want just one ebay is cheaper @ £2.75
Vapeescape = 1.49 + £1.99 = £3.48

If you want more than one then Vapeescape is cheaper.

Just Saying!

To be honest I think these charging bags are just a way of getting you to part with your money. Think of all the batteries that get charged every day - not just e-cigs but phones, laptops, tablets, torches, cycle lights, etc - and how many times have you heard of them going bang?

Thanks Oneday.  I'll hang on to my money.  I'm always very careful to keep an eye on my Ego batteries when they're charging and will do the same with the new batteries so I should be safe enough.  If I were as cautious about other things in life as I am about ecigs I'd never set foot outside the house - probably never get out of bed.  I've been paying too much attention to scare stories.

Many thanks to everyone for all your help. I ordered two of the storage boxes from Vape Escape as soon as Ewol posted the link so that should give me plenty of room for my six batteries. Trouble with buying cheap bits and pieces is that I always feel compelled to buy more stuff to justify the postage costs. Hope that's the end of my spending for a long time.
