How to Carry PV Without a Coat

Since I started vaping in the wintertime, I have a coat with pockets for my PV. When summer comes, I don't want to stick an eGo with a Kanger T3 in my pocket, sit down, then have it break in half and flood my pocket.

So, I got some discarded 1/8th inch foam rubber, double-sided taped it into the top and bottom of an Altoids tin, and have a solution. It can hold a suprising amount of stuff, and the foam rubber keeps it from moving around at all.

I can fit an 1100 eGo diagonally, with room for two T3s, or the 1100 plus one T3 and also a 650 mAh. The possibilities are endless.

For now, a 450 mAh mini, a 350 mAh mini and two EVODs can easily get me through a workday (I have to go outside to vape), but the 1100 with a mini as backup would also work.

CAUTION -> I make certain my batteries are locked, and I put them in there with the button sideways so it doesn't get pushed in the 'case'.

Now, if I could only find someone who does woodworking to make a nice case around this size with rounded edges, I would be really happy.

Depending on PV size, a belt-clip flashlight holster can also work well. I use a Nebo CSI flashlight holster, about $6 from Amazon, with just a small piece of shoe foam to take up slack inside. It has a little standard belt spring clip part, plus a belt loop swivel clip (what I always use)

Nice Case! Carrying around e-cigs is a true problem for all vapers haha! I have genesis style atomizers that all drip if they get tilted, so i'm still holding on to mine all the time. I wish there was a nice vertical carrying case for them.

how about a delabled pill bottle? you'd seperate the genesis from pv into pill bottle then both in pocket. Depending on the pocket it should stay upright

This might not be ideal for you, but Serenity Gear makes nice lanyards. I use mine since I had knee surgery and couldn't carry anything in my hands. My gennies stay upright and they are always in reach.

Turn it off first ten stuff down the front of your pants with the waist band snugginging it. You won't be able to sit down without being reminded its there plus all the weird stares. Lanyards are dangerous! I can't use one at all. I'm a chick btw so I really get weird stares! Seriously though. Back pocket just doesn't cut it

Since you're a chick, you don't want anyone asking if that's a Provari in your pocket (or if you are excited to see them)!

Stuffing it down your pants is better than a lanyard? I am a female and would never be stuffing my skirt with it. I do have a pocket on the outside of my purse where I can usually keep it upright unless the purse tilts over. The lanyard hangs around my neck and keeps it upright at all times and "handy". I have had no "dangerous" episodes, people do NOT look at me funny. In fact, they pretty much have never said one word. The only time ever anyone said one word was going through security, and I told them it was a vaporizer and they waved me through.

ETA: I take it you must have experience with the weird stares though. I guess more people in my area are aware of vaping.
