How do you carry your Ego or mod or whatever you may have?

Last week I had a tank break in my pocket at work. It was quite an unpleasant experience.
I cleaned myself up quickly and taped 5 layers of paper towels to my leg to keep it from touching my leg the rest of the day.

Anyway I still keep my 1100 mah ego with iclear 16 in my pocket most of the day unless I'm sitting at my desk.

I bought an eroll just for this reason when I started out but I've only found myself using it when I go out to a bar or want to be stealth.

I now also have a lava tube . I still find myself putting the lava tube in my pocket.

Ive seen people with the lanyards and seems ok but not my style to have it out there for all to see.

Just curious to see what others do or to hear if this is a challenge for you as well.

I broke a standard ego tank tip in my back pocket shortly after I got my ego. Then last week I broke the top off a 900mah battery while using a vivi nova 3.5ml tank, once again in my back pocket. I am more aware of it and place it next to my wallet now. I just got a vision spinner and I have yet to take it out of the house, but my back pocket seems like a dangerous place when it does.

I'm a woman, so I usually just throw my PV in my purse. Seems like it would break or the button would go off if it doesn't have an off option, but I have never had a problem. If I know I need to carry a PV in my pocket, I'll go with my 650 mah ones so I don't have a lot of bulk. If you are worried about tanks breaking, perhaps just use cartomizers. Lanyard would probably be the best solution to your problem. Side pockets definitely seem safer than back pockets.
5 layers of paper towels??

In my front pocket usually. Unless I'm wearing my jacket then it's in the breast pocket.

Have a few lanyards for my ego batts.

I'd like to get a flashlight belt holster, one that fits the provari snug. I've got some laying around that are close, probably a mm too small. Been too lazy to go try them out in a store. A full size + extension + AGA-T is quite a pocket full, and the mini isn't all that much shorter.

i dont leave it in any low pockets. if i have a jacket or a suite, it goes in the inside pocket for sure. i work in the tech industry, so i almost always have a bag. but for times when i need it to be a little more durable, like if im snowboarding, i typically have something a bit more compact and i keep it in the highest pocket i have available. like a telescope mod with a 18350 battery so it's at it's smallest, with something like a cartomizer or a Pegasus A7 RBA

the pegasus is kinda awesome because those things are super cheap [18 bucks on discountvapers], so i really don't care if they break. plus, if you aren't really the rebuildable atomizer type, these come pre-assembled. you can start vaping out of it right out of the box. it's a drip, so just carry a little tiny 10mil bottle with you. it's a screw on, so you don't have to worry about the thing falling apart in your pocket. and if the drip tip isn't tight enough and you're worried about that, what i did for that was actually go to Hot Topic and pick up some O-Rings for ear tapers. they are typically a little thicker than the O Rings that come in drip tips. they will still fit, but a lot more snug. and it's a decent size. the main part of the body is about as tall as a drip tip. and it's just slightly thicker than a standard clearomizer. so here, this is what this setup would look like....

that mod is about 2 inches in this mode. you can also fit a bigger battery if you wanted to.
and you can judge the size of the atomizer from the drip tip.

I carry a inspire clone mod that i got from vapor beast in 18350 mode which looks pretty great in my opinion and i have it with a fattyv1 attached to it. I keep it in my front pocket. The fatty's top cap is a slide on cap but it has two o-rings that hold it in amazingly snug i cant even move the top cap with my thumb so i know it's not gonna come off easy while its in my pocket. The locking switch on the inspire clone is pretty great too, i have never had it un-tighten when i lock it when it's in my pocket. Since the fatty is a dripper i have a 5ml bottle of juice with me. Doesn't bother me at all because it's a very small set up great for stealth vaping except for the fact that after about 10 pulls you'll have to drip on it but that doesn't stop me :p. The drip tip that i have on the fatty is a trippy tip that has again two o-rings and i have to really work at it to get it off so i don't worry about my set up falling apart in my pocket at all. Without the drip tip the fatty and the inspire clone are about as tall as a 30ml bottle from mtbakervapor. Plus i could always put a shorty drip tip on it if i wanted to and make it really stealthy. But yea that's all i carry. Sometimes ill have a spare battery in my backpack just in case.

I'm a leatherworker, so I've made a leather kit that I store all of my stuff in. Maybe when I get my camera charged I'll take a few pics and post 'em. :D

Send me some pics when you get them.
For right now I have a Provari and I use an extendable baton holder case on my belt
Like the ones the police carry. It fits great, the right height, protects it well, fast draw from the hip.
I used a rubber grip hair tie attached to it to pull up over the tank so it doesn't slip out of the holster if i bend over.
I've been looking for something a little less obtrusive here lately.
 
I've been using an ego twist with a tank and it fit nicely in my pants pocket but I just picked up an e-vic today. Its considerably bigger than my little twist but I'm going to try it out in my pocket tomorrow. I'm a server so I move around a lot all day so I may have to figure something else out. A lanyard is not an option so we'll see how it goes tomorrow. Wish me luck!

For out and about I carry Cig-sized with cartos...just stick in my pocket and go. I have carried larger setups with clearos in a small eyeglass case, but I just don't risk a clearo naked in my pants pocket. I have found that, for a thinner case, some antique eyeglass cases that you can sometimes find at flea markets, can work.

I'll do that. I actually prototypes out a leather belt holster with a D-Ring for lanyard attaching as well that will fit the Provari. I'll get you some pics. I need to jump through the hoops and get verified so that I can put some stuff on the market list here and I don't even want to come close to stretching rules before I show any of these things as I can see a real possibility of making some stuff and putting it out there for the community here. I need to go through the verification rules and figure out how best to do that. Anyway, I will put together some pics in the next few days and get verified so I can show off some stuff. :)

I purchased a carrying case at the store I bought it at, but it reminds me of a diabetic kit... lol

At work (server) I used to keep it in my apron, the 900mah w/ vivi nova fit perfectly in the center pocket. I doubt the 1300 will fit but it still shall go there.
