I’ve been workin’ on this. I’m a driver, out for 16-24 hours at a time so all my gear has to be mobile. I haven’t flown with my sauce, yet. Haven’t been searched on the road, yet. Should be interesting.
There have probably been thousands of airline flights tansporting pheros. So far, i can only find one report of a problem. Random Airport Bag Check Cost Me Precious Pheros!
You want to avoid a leak or you and your luggage will smell like pheromones. Wait a minute, you already smell like pheromones. Never mind.
What you really want to avoid is full scale spills like this: YOU got to read this!!!! My little ramble... Imagine a broken bottle of A314, surrounded by half a dozen immeadiately Alpha cops, all of whom want to be the first one to call out the hazmat team. If they know it was you, you will get the bill!
The droppers are very cool. I’ve been refilling a glass vial from a cologne sample with A314. Lasts a couple of weeks. But it is glass and could be crushed. I carry it in a hard case. The dropper bottle is unbreakable and does give a nice repeatable dose.
I’ve been using cigarette cases. The old fashion flip open kind. They fit nice in a pocket, can’t be crushed, close tight, and i put absorbent liners in them to catch any leaks. The liners also hold the bottles so they don’t rattle around. The 20 cigarette case holds 5 of our to-go bottles and an oil vial. The 10 cigarette case holds 2 to-go bottle and an oil vial.
The Altoid type mint tins will hold 2 or 3 tubes, but you want good liners. They are not very leakproof.
Even though it wouln’t fit my case, the atomizers are really good idea for public transportation. A little spritz of Shine inside the cap and maybe they will know it’s cologne before they go blastin’ it all over the place. If you’re going to carry the to-go tubes, it’s been recomended several times to strip off the labels and relabel a set of them with something that clearly says COLOGNE. (Still haven’t done it myself :o)
The atomizers would fit nice in the phero wallet that Gone with the Wind worked up. Constructing a PheroWallet I’ve been hunting around to find something like this. It would be really cool if i could afford to have one of the local saddlemakers come up with something custom made. I’ll get back to you later with more details on that one.
Dancing_Joker fabricated a 5 tube “clip” that i can’t figure out how to recreate. A phero holster clip: carrying five 4ml spray tubes in one pocket clip That was back in '06. I wonder what he’s useing for a case nowadays.
Before i setup a mixing bench to refill the 5ml to-go tubes, i carried the 30ml full size in a small camera bag stuffed with paper towels to keep 'em from rattling around. The camera bags are inexpensive and come in a variety of sizes. They are cushioned and waterproof from the outside, so they’re leakproof from the inside. They are discreet becuase Jo Public thinks she knows what’s in there. If wanted to be really covert, you could actually carry a camera in the bag.
People have tried carrying all kinds of things. Cell phone, PDA, DVD cases. Pencil and pen cases. Eyeglass cases. Makeup bags and cases. Artist’s brush wraps. Shotgun shell holders. The phero wealthy Steve-O totes his around in cigar boxes. Come to think of it, a cigar pocket case or a pipe tobacco pouch would work too. Ultimately, everybody wants to strap 'em on like Batman’s utility belt!
You are a bunch of chemical and social geniuses. Sometimes ya’ll are so far beyond me, i think i must be livin’ in a cartoon. This might be the thing where i can make my best contribution around here. I’m workin’ on it. I’ll get back to you later with more details.
