Simple Homemade Pocket Clip...
For me, carrying my first e-cig (KR808D-1) with an automatic battery in my shirt pocket wasn't a concern other than it almost always ended up flat (horizontal) at the bottom of my pocket so I had to dig for it to use it. Then yesterday I got my Joye 510 with a manual battery and now I also have to worry about it getting in a position in my pocket where it might get its button pushed and overheat my atty, even burning in my pocket.
So I thought about it and came up with what I think is a simple fix that although it may not be perfect, it sure does the job of holding my 510 just like a pen in my pocket, and more importantly I feel safer holding it this way. You can probably stick it in any pocket or clip it on your shirt color (if you don't have a pocket) or through a button hole, or clip it on your purse, or wherever it may work for you.
No guarantees, but it really works for me and I made this in less than 5 minutes. Here's how I did it (follow my pics below):
1. I simply took the end cap off of an el-cheapo pen.
2. I cut the long end off leaving just the clip part with a hacksaw blade.

3. I then cut the tube part open so that it will open up to fit over my atty and/or cart.
4. I took a small file/sandpaper to clean up all the edges.
5. Slip it onto your e-cig - Voila!
Enjoy!!!

I have soooo been trying to figure out a way to do that. Always looked at the clip that goes around a pen but never considered cutting the off of a cap to make one. Duh! Thanks Shortstuff116

Excellent idea.
I too use a pocket clip. The one I use comes off of an inexpensive telescoping tire gauge. It fits and works perfectly. You can typically find those tire gauges at the hardware store for a couple of bucks.

Very clever and you don't have to worry about rust like with a metal pen clip.
WARNING: If you're tongue starts turning black and you taste ink. You are officially doing it wrong.

Aha! Just made one from a pen top for my M401. Tried the tire pressure gauge clip but when I tried to bend it out a bit to fit...it broke. Lookin' for more pen clips.
