Need advice from tradesman vapers on how to protect gear at work!

[Pyloric Thinker]

I just got a Provari V2 with the 18650 extension and a tank so I'm pretty much setup with an all-day vape. I won't need to fiddle with the menu throughout the day. Basically, I just have to press the button.

The problem is; I'm a pool service and maintenance contractor. I handle chemicals (chlorine, acid, etc.) all day, not to mention all the lube for o-rings, pvc glue and primer, the list goes on. Basically, I'm a dirty mess throughout the day and I don't want to damage the precious. I've thought of ballistic nylon sleeves similar to what you'd put a mini-mag lite in, but can't find anything from the vendors I've searched so far. Any ideas? How do you protect your APV whilst working? Also, any cup-holder style mod stands out there on the market, or should I just make one?

PS I don't want to go mechanical or anything like that, just looking for solutions for my current rig. Thanks for the help!

Hey thinker. I'm a pool guy too . I have to be honest, I usually leave my pv in the door of my truck. That way it isn't in the sun and no worries about dropping it in a pool.

If I'm going to be on a job for a long time I wear carpenter shorts with a pocket on the leg that works out pretty well. You could also take a look at flashlight holders on amazon that might fit.

This is what I use but I'm no pool guy or blue collar worker. It is probably the best you can do though. They will do anything they can to make what you want so if you don't see it just email them.

Mini Maglight belt cases work perfect for the ProVari.

If you want something that claims to protect it Povape sells a protective case that is airtight and even floats. So for a pool guy it would be great Electronic Cigarette Carry Case Caddy

I'm a painter so i'm no stranger to grime....i usually keep a mini ego with tank set up around my neck (under my shirt) for those quick vapes when i get an urge. For my mods I use a "cigar caddy" I usually only bust out the mods when i'm on break. It fits in my back pocket quite well.

They say its water proof and floats so it sounds up your ally if you don't mind opening it up every time you want to vape. You can also keep your spare batts, tanks, and such.....

Good luck on your quest.....i'm curious to see what others are using.

Also i'm thinking about a elastic baton holster. Should be safe horizontal across my back for me....

Hey Sikko. Definitely leaving it in the truck, it's just that I'm not always the best about washing up before I head out and had a few times this week where I wanted to grab it so bad, but had magic lube all over my fingers. Doing a ton of filter overhauls heading into summer so greasy is an understatement. Good luck out there!

No pool experience necessary for good taste! Those things look pretty sweet. Thanks Dana!

Right on Silent. I think the flashlight sleeve is gonna be the way to go for sure. The box looks cool, but I'll still have to open it up and grab it at some point!

All of these things sound awesome. Might have to give a few a try and pic my favorite. It's how I ended up on the Provari! Thanks everyone for the help and fast response time to boot!

The Provari is pretty hardy but in addition to what has already been suggested you might consider a vinyl wrap for more protection. www.jwraps.com and Vapor Skinz have some nice ones including clear wraps if you prefer the look of a naked Provari.

I hear ya. I was doing a heater replacement and got rector seal all over my hands, wanted to Vape but didn't want to get my tesla covered in that mess lol. On the plus side magic lube should come off your provari pretty easily if it does get dirty.

I'm considering the more protective versions of ammo pouches or flashlight holders:

There are also some other belt-clip 'tactical gear' pouches out there that would hold more stuff than those.

Take a look at the Otterbox site. I use some of their small hard plastic waterproof cases.
