Vaping purse for dudes

[roxics]

So I'm sick of carrying around all my crap in my jean pockets. As a vaper this is even more cumbersome because of all the batteries, juice and parts we also carry with us. The biggest pain is trying to dig your e-cig or your phone out of your jeans pocket while driving. I decided to buy a purse.

I found this one at Walmart. It was $8.88 and comes in either camo green or tan. It's small, made of canvas and has a long strap on it where you wear it sling style over your neck and under your arm. Big enough to carry my wallet, iPhone, multiple riva/ego batteries, juice, my inhaler and some prescription drugs. I plan to pick up an Omega or Silver Bullet pretty soon and it would be big enough to carry one of those as well. Just figured I would pass it along for anyone in need of a small bag for this kind of stuff.

Personally, we dudes carry a lot of crap these days yet we still keep telling ourselves it's not cool to carry a purse/bag with us. It's the 21st century. We've got to stop being stupid and making things hard on ourselves.

I still remember "Fanny Packs". I had one for years! lol Same principal!

They do (or did at one time) make bags for men.
My DH carries one when he goes shooting at targets, and if you think batteries weigh a lot, try totting around a bunch of bullets!
His is made out of canvas too and washes up well.

Isn't it hilarious? The expectations of society, men = tough, burly, work outside and sweat, women = soft, delicate, stay at home.

Wear your man bag, my friend. Wear it proud

Nice Tote Bro, I really think you are correct. Our society really hangs on tight to idiotic past ideals that are not only outdated but purely ridiculous as well.

I stopped using my fanny pack because of my friends comments. I had that thing for years! loved it, I could keep my pockets empty! No crushing anything, no loosing anything as you tried to pull something from your pockets (mainly money).

That was how I was doing it. Carrying my backpack with me everywhere. Which works when I have to tote my laptop around, but found myself leaving the house with it every time I went somewhere even without the laptop in it. My girlfriend was always asking me "why do you take that with you everywhere?" and my response was, I need my extra batteries, inhaler, meds, etc. Finally I got smart and realized I just needed a smaller bag for the smaller stuff I take with me everywhere.

It's not a purse! It's a messenger bag!

Funny enough, I've actually been kind of breaking down my man-taboos lately in the search for a good means to carry my PV, batteries, etc. I normally use an eGo case to carry a spare battery, tools, extra cartos, etc. But it's not pocket-friendly so I can only take it with me when I'm carring my pack. I've been trying to find something I could maybe attach to my jeans or something, but there's nothing really good. So I was looking at something like a camera bag or something I could just sling over my shoulder and be done with it. There's actually one over at my local dollar store that might even do the trick, and it doesn't look "girly" -- it looks more like a small messenger bag. I think I may just have to "woman up."

On the plus side you can always attach some badges or patches on it to man it up even more.

Gotta say - for a Murse, it looks ok - the green canvas is a good look.

I'm just using (re-purposing) a PSP case (course that means I have to hold/carry it but mostly keep it in the car or briefcase). Kind of a clutch-murse

Oh yeah put tap out stickers on it. Right next to the NRA sticker.

And the Metallica and Harley badges. If you're going to give your murse a manly twist, you might as well go all the way.

That's pretty awesome looking, actually.

I am all for starting murse trend. It's not fair to guys that it's "un-cool"

I broke out the fanny pack as soon as I started vaping and realized I can care less what people think. When I go to work I use a small lunch cooler bag with rigid sides and bottom. Out and about I use my fanny pack. Great thread!

I've had one for five years and put it through all kinds of hell. It still looks like the day I got it.

don't you remember the Seinfeld episode about the "European carry'ing bag" ? Cosmo and George gave Jerry such a pain about it.

I've been using one, much larger actually for 10 years... i call it my "bag"... and to my wife and child, "dad's purse"... lol. I'm a little too old to care.
Mine is well made, costs about $60 and has all kinds of pockets and 3 compartments...

Form is Function . Function is Form

I'm afraid I don't understand the reasoning behind all this.

If I'm going to be out all day, I take an extra battery or two and a few cartos. It all fits nicely in a repurposed pocket protector. If I found a reasonably priced case that would hold and recharge 808XLs, I'd probably go with that, but again, those fit in a shirt pocket.

The idea of carrying around a month's worth of supplies, especially bottles of juice, is beyond me.
