Can't post anywhere but here for now, so here goes:

I've been a vapista now for a whopping total of a month. Pretty happy with my supplies so far (I'm rocking KR808 batts from V4L, a KR8 manual pass-through and an eGo passthrough, plus juices from 3 vendors). The only thing that was missing was some sweet gear to hold my new best friends, either at my desk or on the go.

Saw a few things, but nothing is quite right. Leather/macrame (sp?) lanyards are practical, but aesthetically, they don't really do it for me. And yeah, I'm a girl, so I considered a jewelry-type lanyard, like one on LeCig, but there's something about them that makes me feel like I'm wearing a rosary and praying to the gods of vapedom. (But hey — I'm not "judgy." If that's your thing, that's cool.)

Since I'm an amateur knitter, sewer and jewelry hobbyist, I figure I could make some cute stuff. I'm no expert at any of it really, but necessity is the mother of invention, so I've been playing around. So far, I knitted an e-cig sock (kind of like an iPod sock, but smaller). I've got a top-loading box fitted to contain each of my ecigs, which holds them up like little samurai swords, plus a wooden "vape vase," which lets me contain my cartos and batts in one place. It's all pretty simple, and I'm fairly happy with this so far, though none are quite perfect yet.

Thoughts? Is there a desktop holder, pen clip, or lanyard type of thing you only wish was available? Or maybe some other cool accessory you could use? Or are you thrilled with what you've got now? (And if so, please tell — what is it and where'd you get it?)

At this point, I'm mostly interested in finding the perfect way to carry my stuff around that looks cool, not cheesy.

I'm considering getting one of these single cases/clips. What I'm wondering is if I should "hack" it with beads or rhinestones for a little bling, or leave its simple sleek looks alone? Or does that look a bit too nerdy, like the equivalent of a pocket protector or something? (I work in technology, so believe me when I say that I'm hyper aware of cool geek chic vs. nerdware :p) What do you think?

I had a beaded e cig necklace from the widows bead for my 510 but since she closed due to health reasons. The closest thing I found was at halo but that is abit small for my ego. I did get in touch with a member of the forum that makes crocheted ones. I was I could get another beaded in it even had the hole for the button and held it's shape.

Hate to tell you this. I bought a $2 plastic pencil carrying case from Family Dollar that is day glo green with different colored mandalas on it. Holds everything, can stand it if juice leaks, just a bit large though, like a "clutch" bag. Don't know if anyone remembers these things from the ,70's or not.

Like this, but not "Toy Story."

Toy Story 3 Pencil Case - Party City

Can't hang it on my neck, but didn't want to hang any e-cig on my neck. Just needed to carry all that stuff around.

Not an accessory, but I'd love to see an e-hookah or an e-french pipe! That'd be so pro.

I used to do a lot of macrame with hemp, I could probably macrame myself an e-cig necklace. My husband has been wanting something so he can carry it around his neck too, he's worried about it spilling out of his pockets when he's out and about.

*Face palm* Pencil holder! Now why didn't I think of those? Hard or soft cases, it should hold all the gear just fine. (I'm using a velvet pouch right now that I got from some of my mobile tech toys, and it just doesn't slide in and out of my bag very easily.) I could see even adorning it a bit, just to personalize it.

A crocheted holder would be cute. Can even knot a clip on it, maybe with a small chain — sort of like a pocket watch fob. The thing about making a hole for the button is brilliant. Something I totally would've overlooked. Thanks!

(@DC2: I thought I saw something like that — an eGo PCC with a slot for a 3ml juice bottle. Now where was it? Hmmm. I'll post here if I find it again.)

Yeah, macrame can be cool, if it's DIY. Like I said, the stuff I see being sold doesn't look too slick, but I could see it being much cooler with different colors/materials. Could be sweet!

I usually have one in my hand or close by so it's not the individual PV that I worry about... it's the stash in the purse... so I use this. Couple bucks at the local drugstore. I like it because it's all plastic on the inside so no leaking worries.... and folds up to realatively small size.

I saw some pretty ones on some site today, couldn't tell you which one I went through a ton of them looking for cartos and batteries. One site had crocheted, several had leather, one had leather with bangles. If you really want a pretty one, and have a small PV (I do not anymore) it would be really easy and nice to make your own. Wouldn't cost much if I remember my Craft Store prices, less than the pre-made ones.

Let us know what you decide and how you "bling" it, send pics!

the pcc is kinda cute, then there's the single clip on case for your pcc. you can get them both at cignot.com . I bought a sheet of pink bling for my laptop on ebay, but had some left over, and have pretty much blinged out everything I own, haha, including one of my pink 510 batteries that the paint started chipping on.

I wonder if the beaded eyeglasses holders will fit on a 510? anyone tried it?
I haven't had time to look, but etsy.com has wonderful homeade/handmade stuff, and you may find someone willing to make you something by request.
 
I carry it on my belt: Belt Holder

That looks just about perfect. Do you mind my asking what kind of PV you have in it? (I'm wondering about different dimensions between different models)

For the ladies something along the lines of a leather sleeve with a clip ring would allow us to hang it from a purse strap or add it to a key ring. Another option might be to attach some sort of safety pin to one of the single PV cases and decorate it to taste and wear as a brooch.

It's an Tornado (eGo) with the button turn side ways so not to accidentally fire it. Notice that the button fits nicely in the gap area of the holder
