Finally got my provari to put in my holster lol. The extra 1.5" to the strap fit my tank perfectly and the craftsmanship is excellent. One change I would make is to move the clip up about 2" so the top of the pv doesn't hang away from the wearer's body.

Thanks for the suggestion, Rausk! Those long holsters are a little tricky; no matter where I put the clip, they tend to hang at an odd angle. I do have an idea for something that would hang lower off the belt and might solve the problem - I just need to make the time to test it out.

Someone brought up the subject of what effect juice might have if it got on the leather so I did a little testing.

I placed a single drop of a medium-dark, fairly acidic fruit-flavored juice on each of my color samples. After an hour of sitting, none of the juice had soaked into the leather at all, so I gave each sample a quick wipe with a cotton cloth to remove the standing juice and then let them sit overnight. In the morning i gave each sample a light rubbing with a damp cloth.

All of the samples show some degree of discoloration but it seems to be the finish that is damaged by juice since it doesn't seem to be actually getting into the leather. I think that, had the juice been wiped away immediately, there probably would not have been any discoloration at all.

It would probably do more damage if a significant amount of juice were to be absorbed into the unfinished back of the leather, but even water absorbed into the back can discolor the front slightly, even once it's dried out.

So, the moral of the story is "Don't get liquids on your holster and, if you do get liquids on your holster, clean it off right away".

Good morning! :)

If you're able to get the lanyard holder for the Sweet Vape, Griffin, I want one of those too!


We're still working out the details on the to see if I can do it. If you'd like to PM me with the info on your particular model including dimensions and maybe a link to a picture, I'll see what I can do.

Likewise, if you want to send me details on what you wanted for your Woodvil, I can see about finally putting one together for you! (*Assuming that you don't mind being the guinea pig for a new and untested pattern!) :laugh:

I have to praise Tim's patience....not only is his leatherwork awsome he is also wonderful answering questions. :) Due to his skill and patience I will soon have new holsters for my BuzzPro (clear) and Provari (satin). With Dt's matching the colors of the holsters I can't wait to see how they look. I will post photos when they arrive. :toast:

Thank you so much, Griffin! I will most definitely get those details to you on both and don't mind in the least about being the guinea pig, I'm thrilled to pieces! Your craftmanship on these holders are off the charts, you know I'm going to love them!

Gotta tend to the youngin', he needs feeding. LOL When I'm done, I'll gather up the info for you...........YAY!

Hey Tim just got my custom Provari holster today and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!! This is BY FAR one of the coolest, slickest accessories I've purchased for any of my toys, and I'm an accessory nut! :D Here are a few pics I took to share with the board: front:

Great photos NatureBoy, thanks for posting them!

My empty bottles should be here on Saturday so I'll try to get the sidecar option added to the site this weekend. There will be options for left/right side, 10ml or 3ml juice bottles, and a variety of batteries.

I'm also going to try to add some more decorative options over the next few weeks.
