Pelican Case For Secret Stash?

Discussion in 'Other Smoking Accessories' started by smichels, Jun 11, 2014.

  1. This is my first post ever on grasscity. I needed to make an account and start this thread because of a very pressing issue on my mind.
     
    I'm leaving for college in the fall, and I'm terrified about getting caught with weed in my dorm. I've been accepted into my school's engineering program, and getting caught could lead to me being kicked out. If that happens, I'm 100% certain that I won't be allowed to move back home, so basically my life would be over.
     
    Now I know what you're thinking, "just don't smoke pot in your dorm". But it's not that easy for me. I have really bad insomnia from a traumatic event that happened earlier in my life. I cannot fall asleep until flat out exhaustion gets to me. I avoid using prescription sleep aids and NyQuil because of the harmful effects that they can have on my body from long-term use.
     
    So here's my current situation:
     
    I've been smoking for the past 2 years, sort of regularly I guess. About 2 months ago, I decided I was done trying to sneak smoking a bowl in my room (which got me caught by my parents). I invested in an Arizer Solo, and i've been using that almost every day and night. I can honestly say it was one of the best investments i've ever made. The only draw back is that my parents discovered it because they could smell it.
     
    When I bought the Solo, I also bought a "Secret Vape Case" from vaporseller.com. At first, I thought it was a great idea. It looks like a book, so i figured it would blend in nicely with my other textbooks while I'm in college. Then, I started noticing some issues, mostly the smell that the case was giving off. The product was described as a "smell proof" case, but it's far from it. The smell of bud from both my grinder and the used glass stems (which barely smell on their own, but after sitting in the case for so long, make the foam wreak very badly) was enough for my parents to find my "Secret" stash.
     
    Luckily, my parents didn't throw away my $300 total investment of the Arizer Solo and Spacecase, so now i'm on the market for a FULLY smell proof and worry-free stash box. Below are some things that I'm looking for the case to have.
     
    - Airtight
    - Lockable (Roommate)
    - Not too big
    - Not when putting stuff in and taking it out (i.e. Mason Jars)
    - Easily hide-able 
    - Can take it on the go via Backpack
     
    Listed below are the things that I plan on putting in the case.
     
    - Arizer Solo
    - 2 Glass Stems
    - 2.5" Spacecase
    - 2 Doob Tubes (for ground up and already vaped bud)
    - Glass Spice Jar (Same Size as Solo)
    - Custom PVC Pipe Activated Carbon Sploof (5"-7" long)
     
     
    Now, in my search for the perfect stash box, I have discovered Pelican Cases. More specifically, the Pelican 1200. They're heavy duty, watertight, crush and dust proof cases. They also have this "pick n pluck" foam that would allow me to customize the inside of the case to fit everything you see listed above. 
     
    My only MAJOR concern is that "watertight" is not "airtight". I don't want to spend $40 on another case, only to have it give me the exact same problem that my secret case is giving me now. One part in particular, the "Pressure Equalization Valve" scares me. I feel like it could easily leak out smell. 
     
    Does anyone have experience with these cases? I've heard that they're often used to ship and store glass, but I haven't found a definitive answer if they are in fact smell-proof and worry free or not. If you own one of these cases and use it to store your stash in, please let me know what your experience has been with it. Or, if you have any different options for me to look at, please show me a link.
     
    Thanks for reading, and happy toking  :smoking:

  2. I've used a ton of Pelican cases over the years. That said... I've broken tons of latches on Pelican cases... 
    This is the one I've used for basically the past 3 years. 
    http://www.pelican.com/cases_detail.php?Case=1600EMS
    Over those 3 years, my different agencies have probably bought a total of 4 replacements from where me or members of my crew broke them. 
    I can't comment on smell, since... Well, drugs in vials don't stink as much as some other drugs... 
    I do know that I can remember once where the box smelt like smoke after working a fire. Quite possibly could've been one of the crew, but I remember it was right when I opened the box, because that's when the pt commented on it. 
     
  3. I also forgot to mention how I vaporize indoors.
     
    I put a towel under the door, open up a window, and turn on my ceiling fan. I plan on sploofing the vapor out the window.
     
    I got caught originally because I didn't have a towel under my door, and I left my grinder open on my desk for my entire session (stoner mistake). As soon as my mom walked past my door, she could smell the ground up bud. She never mentioned anything about the smell of the vaped weed though.

    I've got a Pelican 1400 in my room with my stash in it and I haven't noticed any smell comming off of it, my room however does have a scent of its own. When I open my box I almost get high off the smell because it's concentraded. I do also keep all of my stash in other containers in my pelican, like bud in a glass jar or pill bottle, grinder, stems and vaped in my MFLB case. The foam does trap scent like a mother fucker, best remedy for that I've found though is put the foam in a dryer with little if any heat and throw a dryer sheet in for 20-30 min, febreze wont get rid of the smell.
     
    Contents of my box:
    MFLB
    few g's of danks
    some hash
    several one hitters
    stems and vaped bud
    20+ empty bags
    two grinders
     
    P.S. Get some Ozium, its been a life saver for me, destroys smell of bud/smoke and can be easily covered with body spray/cologne.
     
    EDIT: If you're still worried about the smell from the Pelican you could also put a folded up dryer sheet between the foam and the pressure valve and/or duct tape over the valve on the inside.
     
  5. obviously Mason jars are the best option but for mobility I use small Tupperware containers.  i keep that and my other smoking items in another case that I carry w me in my backpack everywhere I go. never have issues with scent.  
     
  6. Pelican cases are second to none, you could store it and the smells would never seep out. Although some say mason jars, but if it's something you'll be in and out of daily id break down and buy a waterproof case (pelican, otter box, etc) for cameras or something is perfect size. Good luck, I use a otter box water proof box for my bud and smoking supplies it works great and also hide it in an off area youd never suspect it.
     
  7. Fuck a damned pelican....I keep mines' in a sperm whale case....much bigger and is waterproof.
     
  8. What school are you going too?

  9. Pelican cases are top notch, waterproof, and and damn near indestructible. Most people who are dumb wont buy em because of the price, but they are well worth it
     
  10. Get a Safety Case for your on-the-go smoking kit and you'll never have smell issues
