Best tippet systems?

What have folks found for the best way to store their tippet in their
vest (or chest pack) so that its easily accessible and dispensable?

It depends on where I'm fishing.

Have you ever imagined how life might be different with an
imagination?

So you have that itch again. It must be unbearable.

I don't know if I understand the question.

Just tippet material? On whatever spool it comes.

Full leaders? Store bought's in the original cello sleeve. Homebrews
in a round Altoids tin.

Inside pocket of my vest. Leaders in top pocket, while tippet spools
in next one down (3,4,5,6x). The particular spool that I am using
(usually an Orvis 5x fluorocarbon) goes in a small pocket on the bottom
inside.

The spool has one of those little rubber thingies with an eyelet thru
which the bitter end is pulled.

Works for me.

OK, first sampling, it doesn't sound the folks who have responded
don't use any sort of holder or anything, but just keep the spools in
their vest. The reason for this post is that I use a tippet holder
that clips on my vest, but the damn thing seems to always be in the
way (line getting twisted around it, interfering wtih packing the
vest, etc). However, if I were to just put the spools in my pocket,
they would take up a ton of room: I carry a small spool each of 2x
through 7x mono, and also 5x and 6x fluoro. I suppose I could keep all
these in my gear box, and just take out what I need for that day's
outing, but that's one more thing to forget, and I sometimes tie up a
tapered leader on the river, so I might need a little of most of
these.

Of all the 'systems' involved in ff (how to carry your net, how to
carry flies, etc etc), the tippet spool thing is the one I am furthest
from finding the best solution to.

Oh that, and How To Catch Fish.

Joe the Elder offers----for trout fishing just stick a spool of 5k
and 6x in your vest pocket---buy 9ft leaders and don"t add tippett
until you have worked them down to 7 feet for small streams--seems to
work
