I have had my LT about a week now and so far it works great. The problem is carrying it around. I used to pop my box mod into my top shirt pocket. The LavaTube sticks out more than I'd like. Forget putting it in a jeans front or back pocket with an atty on it.

I have thought of some type of belt clip but haven't found the right one to work.

I do think it would be nice to have an arm strap with a pop out connector. You could strap it to your upper arm atty facing up and most of the time it would stay upright without any spillage. This would also look neato, sci-fi-ish and futuristic.

They make these for phones and i-pods http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_...9x00001a&ci_src=14110944&ci_sku=SPM5927779201

This one might work for a LavaTube: http://www.google.com/products/cata...ei=UiwYT_aCMs-gtweS5tC_Cw&ved=0CMIBEPMCMAw4KA

Or this 4 bucks: http://www.amazon.com/DLO-DLA1400D-Action-Jacket-Shuffle/dp/B002YB4RPM

I also propose someone design and make a vaping Belt like a superhero's or Luke Skywalker's utility belt. These guys carried neat stuff around with them all the time,. Cops do it, Military personnel do it why not a utility belt for vaping?

These people will let you design your own utility belt but they are pricy. Fabric Horse Handmade Utility Belts

This one is pretty cool and more like what I had in mind.. sleek and sexy. Looks more like a Luke belt than a workman's tool belt.: http://products.lowepro.com/product/SF-Light-Utility-Belt,2234,54.htm

Just for kicks, Here is Luke's belt: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Utility_belt

This one is super cool and might be perfect: http://www.amazon.com/Martial-Arts-Land-Ninja-Utility/dp/B0002GSK3G

Or this: http://www.wildbillwholesale.com/vemoutbe.html?cmp=googleproducts&kw=vemoutbe

Here's one made with Mag pouches (I assume this means Mag Light the popular cop flashlight) http://www.dpciwholesale.com/Tactical-Utility-Belt-w-Mag-Pouches-Black.html

The thing is you'd need areas for stuff and some way to hold your loaded LT or mod upright. Finding just that combo that fits your mod is not going to be easy.

You're taking vaping to a whole new level, a utility belt is serious business.

Well I got carried away on the links above. I had the main body written then added the links once I started researching what was out there that might work.

Let's face it guys don't wear fanny packs. (most of us anyway) Chicks throw Everything in purses. At first I thought just to find a way to carry the LavaTube but then I thought I need to carry extra atty's and juice, perhaps batteries and another mod. Normally I use a small pouch with these things carried in my pocket. It occurred to me, if I'm going to use a belt to carry the LT mod why not free up my pockets and use the utility belt for those things too. You'd be all set for going away from the house for long periods of time.

Lots of people could use a vaping belt like people in New York. Lots of folks there don't drive and have long commutes using the subway.

I duct tape it to my inner thigh. I live in a tough neighborhood! BOCA RATON, FL one of the most dangerous places. I don't want some 80 year old woman mugging me for my lavatube. Dentures can break skin! LOL

I knew you were a man of action when I saw your avatar. Fight the good fight man, keep those fogies in line!

I work as a security guard and I carry my flashlight in one of these:

Lite Holster Stretch | Nite Ize

I haven't received my LT yet so I don't know how wide it is, but I think it will fit. I don't know about carrying with a tank/atty on but you could carry it, as well as juice separately in something like this:

Uplula belt pouche

PS: @John Phoenix they are referring to pistol magazines when they say mags.

I stand corrected Thank you. I only have one gun magazine, so gun mags were not on my mind. It's a 12 shot for my awesome semi auto 22 long High Standard Sport King 4 & 1/2 inch refiled barrel model 103 pistol. Pretty cool for a small caliber gun. Won't do as much damage as a single 38 shot but I can put 6 shots into a target as fast as I can pull the trigger. The extra long refiled barrel and extra powder of the 22 long almost makes it like a having a small semi automatic rifle. Best feature is where I live it's legal to own without having to register it.
