Evening Guys....

I'm curious as to how to keep from losing your e-cig...like does anyone have a pattern for a lanyard type deal or know where i could get an inexpensive one?

Hubby has a bad habit of laying his in his lap, forgetting its there and standing up then it flies to the floor and either ends up under his desk where he can't see it to find it, or the dog tries to think it's a toy and runs off with it...

any suggestions?

Well a PT will stay tied to the charger. :D

There are lots of lanyards available for all types of PVs at different hardware vendors, there are even a few places that make them custom for you. I can't recall any of the sites off the top of my head aside of I know V4L has lanyards for KR8s.

In cold weather I have worn a flannel shirt and just drop my PV in the pocket and now that its warming up I have found that I am favoring pocket Ts for the same reason. I myself have a habit of laying things in my lap and forgetting about them when I stand up.

I'm looking at your Avatar and wondering if maybe you would have something "laying around the house" that would work...lol.

I don't lay mine down...I have foam with holes in it that I stand them in...the eGo's and mods stand all by themselves on level surface with no dogs running around.

All winter and much of spring and fall I wear sweatshirt cardigan (I know, so stylish) and it has pockets. I keep assembled 510 and KR8 and a NoSmokeVA PCC in one pocket, and juices, paperclip, and a charged Riva battery in a lipstick case in the other pocket (with a folded paper towel band wrapped around the middle to keep the button from touching anything). When I get to work much of it goes on my desk.

But it is starting to get warm and I had to come up with something else. I decided to try a small ethnic cloth purse with a strap long enough to wear cross-body. It's colorful "Bolivian" purse, amazingly made in India haha. I have not tried it yet but I am hoping the cross body strap will keep me from losing it. I will only take it off where I take off my leather waist pouch (like work and at the inlaws) and I plan to tie the strap to my pouch because I will not forget my pouch.

Just keep it in your hand is one option. :)

I've started using the belt pouch my leatherman came in- it holds the PCC in the main pocket (containing a charging battery, spare carts, spare atties) and extra batteries, clearomizers, or both in the little pouch where the spare screwdriver bits for the leatherman used to go.

That still leaves me wondering where to put the assembled PV that I'm actually vaping on. I usually just carry it in my hand, which means it goes in my mouth a little too often...oh well.

'Borrowed' this idea from a thread here..... couple of faucet O rings... the 3/16 id fits my Kr808 just right.... but I think I kinda like the crocheted ones at DIY... feel a shopping spree coming on......

I just keep mine in a homemade pottery cup when at my computer - I use a heavy 6 v mod so too heavy to hang around my neck ..its like a huge screwdriver lol....I did however wrap a rubber band around the base it helps it NOT fall out of my hands (I have trouble grasping due to tendinitis in my forearms) my son came up with that idea cause I kept dropping it and ruining my attys and the bonus it wont roll off counters etc lol...not pretty but functional lol...when out and about I just keep it in my jeans pocket...am thinking of doing something with polymer clay instead of rubber bands around the base of my mod ...will see how that goes later.....
