Not really a purse guy and I can't get all that stuff to fit in my wallet.

Too butch for a purse? What you need is a ProBro!

Worse than the mod that's name shall not be spoken? How about that mod on a clip? Would that be extra evil?

Yes, slightly worse.

At least for me. Things that are clipped for me seems to get caught on every twig, vine, rope, piece of equipment that I encounter. I know this does not happen to everyone but if it is clipped on something will grab it and toss it to the ground.

I would rather drop it in a pocket where brush cannot grab it from me.

I use my Mini or MVP when I'm out of the house. Left front jeans pocket. Lately I've been wearing cargo shorts or slacks a lot, which have plenty of room in their pockets for a mod. For the Mini, I bring a couple of spare 18350 batteries in a plastic battery case and a second cartotank or clearomizer.

If I need to carry more gear, such as when I'm visiting my vape shop or going out of town for a couple of days, I use my "vape bag". It's a converted Swiss Gear mini-laptop carrying bag. It has a shoulder strap and three zippered pockets. Plenty of room for my 9 mods, batteries for each in plastic cases, several cartotanks/clearos, a couple of bottles of juice, and even my I-Pod Touch. It has enough room to carry my cartotank case, too.

Yeah I'm not a clip guy and defiantly not a lanyard guy. I can't keep bottles and batteries in my pockets cause they're get destroyed. I sound like a real premadonna tough customer

You have to be careful with a lanyard. If the ProVari start to swing when you walk it could whip around and break a rib.

Provape carries the belt holster for it, which is allowed on military uniform. As for everything else, just throw it into one of the multiple pockets you guys have in your ACU bottoms.

While it may be surprising, because the Navy has the most horrible uniforms of all our services (At least for Junior Enlisted ranks), you can't wear anything on your belt that isn't command issued.

That gets slightly relaxed at sea, where you can have things like flashlights and multi-tools on your coverall belt. In port, however, that's a big no-no... I've been both the recipient (in my young days) and the deliverer (once I made Chief) of some major .... chewing sessions over unauthorized belt accessories in uniform... LoL

Wow that must suck. The Army is totally cool with it. My hubby has his leatherman his cell case and his provari on his belt. Speaking of which...they issue you a cell case or just authorize it?

They've changed the cell phone rule since I got out in 2007... You can wear a cell phone on your belt now (command issued or civilian) as long as it is "inconspicuous" which pretty much means it has to be black... Or something that doesn't draw attention. And it can't be seen when someone is looking at you from the front. So it has to be on the back of your belt.

The Navy has always had really strict uniform regulations... It always struck me as odd, especially when I first joined and we were wearing the same dungaree uniform that had been around since WWII... Bell bottom blue jeans with a light blue shirt and iron-on / stenciled insignia... And of course, the white Dixie cup hat. I mean, heck... With a uniform like that, why did I even have to iron the stupid thing? We would get our butts kicked if the "seam" of the hat was in the wrong place on our head...

Now, I'm not saying the other services aren't strict, but when you have a uniform that looks like something from a village people concert... Come on now...

I'm thinking about getting that clipped case for the sun visor in my car. I'd agree, clips on the belt/pocket don't work worth a crap. I used to have a cellphone case with a magnetic flap & a clip. My car stole my phone. The washing machine stole my phone. The stove stole my phone. The fridge... And that was just in a month, I got rid of that stupid thing since I could never figure out where my phone was without backtracking to every single metallic object I had passed since I last saw it.

The current uniform standards are so lax it's absurd. My uniform is wash and wear, we're not allowed to iron them. Of course they're absolute garbage and have more Velcro than anything I've ever owned. So we stick to each other.
According to the regs were actually not allowed to have all that stuff on our uniform. It's just that no one really cares to correct anyone because I'm sure everyone feels it's stupid. But with the reappearance of the courtesy patrol here on posts there will be much more corrections and much less uniform infractions.
