My GG setup is 6 3/4 to the top of the mouth piece and 6 inches to the mouthpiece. I do hope this can be made.

I imagine trying to pull the mod out of the holster (which is a snug fit) would be quite difficult with only the mouthpiece to grip, even with pushing up from the bottom.

Why do you want the entire thing concealed? Personally, I think it looks better with part of the mod showing...

It is actually quite easy to get in and out. The fit is good enough to be secure but offers no resistance to taking the mod out or dropping it in.

I agree with this compleatly. I almost wish the holster could telescope so it wouldn't hide the GG when using 18500 or smaller batteries--almost. But it's pretty close to perfection as it is. I used to rotate my mods a lot when going out because they all had their advantages and disadvantages--but Griff's holster has made the GGTS my most convenient mod to use now, pulling it out and putting it in the holster is as easy as pushing the button and vaping. The GGTS has been the only mod to leave the house for over a week now...

another way to make the GG holster Griff, is a teardrop shaped opening (taking out one wing, smoothing out the curve of the other) rather than the 'double-winged' one you had pictured...granted, you could have the button on either side inside that version, but is it really needed? also it would take less leather to make and probably look a bit cleaner.... the shape itself, you can have a drop in design, a bit longer than average and not have to fight to get it out of the holster / lanyard and still be secure enough that it wount 'fall' out of it when it gets tipped...

edit: the teardrop I suggest would put the button off to the side, rather than stick out with the 'extra' leather surrounding it...

Not neccesary for me..my stealth fits fine inside my roughstack holsters and being i very seldom use the same batt config i also wouldnt want a top flapped design and dont like a tight fit for any of my mod holsters...ive stretched all of them for a looser fit. Hell, a stealth w/ iatty fits in one of my knife holsters ok but i want something my ts's will also fit as well.

I've finally worked up a design for the ProVari sleeves that I'm pretty happy with and, having used one now for a couple of weeks, I think they're pretty cool. Not only do I no longer suffer from FCMS (freezing cold mod syndrome), but my ProVari has also stopped falling over on my desk every time a big truck drives by. ;)

The sleeves include a hole on the side opposite the button opening so that you can view the LED screen without removing the mod. I do have a pattern for the same sleeve without the LED cutout which I personally prefer since it puts the button opening on the side opposite from the stitching. If there is enough interest I will add that as an option as well but, for the time being, you can include a note in the comments section when you check out if you would prefer that I make your sleeve that way.

The sleeves are now available for ordering at SerenityGear.com in solid colors or in black splatter combinations, for $19.95 including first class shipping, in a sturdy box, within the US.

Stamping and lettering options are available for the sleeves and I will probably work on some fancier color options as I have the time, along with sleeves to fit a few other mods.

In addition, all of the sample sleeves that I made up for this photo are now listed on the Specials page, and are available for immediate shipment.

What's the chances of getting one of these NEW Mod Holsters to work with the Saber Touch? I really like the look of these and would LOVE to be able to vape without taking it out of the holster. And to be able to add a lanyard if need be would make it even better!!! Thanks Griff!!

If you mean the mod sleeves then I could probably make a sleeve to go around the body (but not the caps) of the Saber Touch with a cutout for the button and and holes on the sides of the top for a cord.

Some sort of "wings" on the sides of the sleeve might work even better for attaching the cord, so it would extend out around the caps better.

The only catch would be that you would have to put the mod into the sleeve before attaching the bottom cap.

That might actually work. I don't mind having to take the bottom end cap off to insert the Saber. I like your idea of wings for the lanyard. I just would want to lanyard to be able to be disconnected if chose to. I would like it to just be black leather. Let me know what ya think?

While rummaging around in a box of old vape gear I came across this and thought you guys might get a kick out of it.

I made this up last year, before I started making holsters while going through a mod building phase. It's made completely from leather and has two snaps to keep the cover closed.

Completely impractical of course, but how could I resist trying? And it does actually work! :laugh:
