The Leaford Lanyard vs. my daughter.....

Sadly, my daughter won! Ripped it right off my neck!

And I SOOOOOOOOO loved that thing! Saved me gosh knows how many hours of ecig searching! (I'm bad with that!) I need a hug!

Sorry for your loss.

Would a group hug do? Or would that be too much?

It's ok- I WILL resurrect this until I can order a new one! (wouldn't mind having a spare anyways!) I just panicked at first because I'm always running around like a chicken with my head cut off - and the lanyard is sometimes the only way I can get that "quick fix" while I'm running around... Like I said - I LOVE this thing! (ok, the truth is, I've become completely reliant on it! )

And all hugs are always welcome!

Hopefully it can be fixed!

Thanks MaryKay!!!

The good part is that unlike a dog (or a moongoose) they don't run away if the leash breaks.

Hehe- nope, my ecig won't run away... But with a yummy cherry cola carto on it, it's a prime target for hubby's thievery!

I've found that a sharp thonk on the nose and a firm "NO" sets hubbys straight

Not this one! He's stubborn! I would never dream of using one on an animal, but would shock collars be wrong to use on husbands?

I'm all for it but might want to get out tranquilizer darts to get it on....that is unless hubbs is into that sorta thing

The cord broke on my first one, too, but luckily I had a backup. I've been searching for some kind of suitable lacing to fix it.

At most fabric and craft stores they sell plastic, leather and suede lacing in various diameters.

Yup- that's exactly what I'll be using. I have some black leather string from back in my crafting days. (pre-baby... no time now!) Thanks goodness I hate throwing stuff away!

 

[StaceyM]

Can't you just tie a knot in it?

Edit...Nevermind. I posted before your last post posted.

A knot, a stitch or two, all better.

 

[DrkLashes]

Nah- my daughter is too crafty! See, when she breaks something, she makes SURE she does it right!

Where it snapped was closer to the bottom (near the ecig holder thingy) I could probably redo the knots, but I really suck with knots! I'm just going to user that leather string I have and tie that in a simple knot for now. No biggy - I just panicked at first!


later edit- Opps, guess we both keep typing over each other! My bad! >.<

I need one with a pocket clip on it ....im not into stuff around my neck ...had the Ex's hands around my neck too much In the past I guess.... made me skiddish

So if anyone (DrkLashes ?) has a broken LL I may be interested in buying it so I can see if I can mod it to go in my pocket and stay there...IE: a techno-geek vaper pocket protector of sorts!

I would, but I'm not sure I can part with mine just yet!

But if you're looking for a "clip type" you could try-
Ecig Case
I had one for my 510 and it worked great (but hubby snatched it when I donated my 510 to him)- but I'm sure it wouldn't fit a xl batt.

The other thing I used to do was attach a tire gage clip to mine. The only downfall is it can scratch up the battery finish.. Though that was on my 510- the finish on the VK's seems much sturdier to me, but it still may scratch.. I'm not sure on that one!

Thanks Lisa, I will check out the case link ... but I may have to drill a hole to accommodate my XLs .... they work soooo good !

Its funny, I was actually thinking about the tire gauge clip idea, but on the lanyard..(I'm an x -auto tech so I have about 10 of them I think!); And here I thought I had an original idea !!

 

[DrkLashes]

Hehe- hey don't feel bad! My husband is an industrial mechanic so we have those things (well a little bit of everything in god's creation) laying around the house- and I never would have though about it if I hadn't read someone doing it here on the forum! (That's why I love it here- soooo many smart & creative people!) I also did the same thing with the gage clip- instead of clipping it on my shirt or something, I clipped it on a dog tag chain like a "ghetto lanyard". It was actually kind of cool, but it was scratching my 510 batts so badly that I gave it up!
