Only one new addition to mention: spare battery for Android phone.
When I used to have an iPhone it was pretty annoying not being able to switch it out if I'd been out all day/night.
Now it's no longer a concern because I always have a spare ready.

There's a vaporizer called the "Halo G6" which has a much more powerful battery than the over-the-counter drugstore crap (which have too high a nicotine content anyway.) It's an E-cigarette form factor, so you won't look like a vape-nerd. Get a low or no nicotine concentration liquid you like, plus say the red battery stick and the "low resistance" refillable cartridges that seem to come only in black. Looks pretty cool, blows decent clouds, makes an interesting conversation piece when standing around outside the club, won't set you back too much $$$.
How much did you pay for it? I will probably go with the crappy/cheap one as I am not willing to spend much on it. As long as I can open with it and not give me some lung cancer or shit like that I will buy.
What are the downsides of buying a nicotine free e-cigarette except price?
I can't wait to pretend that I am a recovering smoker.
My only concern is girls with yellow teeth and Dracula breath.

If anyone is interested, I can do custom logos on hipflasks (and other metal objects) using Cermark and a laser cutter at TechShop. I do this sort of thing for fun, not money.

Sometimes I still like to bring out the old DynaTac.

Too much shit in you guys' pockets.
Money, phone, ID, and a few small pieces of paper with your name and number written on them to give to girls (learned from this from LINUX). Easiest to to keep tucked in your phone case or maybe a money clip. This is easier than pulling out your phone in the middle of a loud and busy club and having them tap their name and number into it. If they like you they'll message.
A lot of nightclubs pat you down. I can't see bringing knives and flasks on me. Gear up according to where you will be going. I prefer carrying as little shit on me as possible.

Default:
* Keys
* Wallet/Money Clip (slim whatever it is, ID, 1 credit card, debit card, enough cash to solve problems)
* Chapstick/Lip Balm (hate having chapped lips)
* Phone
Optional - only if I think I'll need them:
* Condoms (been in a LTR for a while)
* Spare phone battery
* Gum/mints (if I'll be eating)
* Sunglasses (day time)
I've thought about carrying a small knife, but I don't think it's really worth it. I also want to pare down the number of keys I have as it's really nice to not have a lot of them. I trimmed down my wallet/money clip many years ago and long ago stopped wearing a wallet in my back pocket, it's WAY better.

You can easily find a good knife/cutter that doubles as a pen, maybe be worth carrying will still set off metal detectors though.

Summer: in shorts - wallet (very small) and phone. I have a lockbox on my door. If I'm not driving, I don't bother to carry my keys. Phone is clipped to the shorts.
Briefcase: laptop, Apple charger, laptop charger, Kindle, Android charger (necessary for my Kindle and headphones), Bose SoundSport, cloth to wipe my screen, files I need to take to court, and bike locks. I've been leaving my iPad at home, but it's useful in court if I need a file that we didn't print out. I normally carry my briefcase by the handle, but I keep the strap inside for biking purposes.
Some random recommendations:
- Everyday Shorts by Myles Apparel are the shit. You can wear them to dinner, to work, swim in them, and work out in them. I rock these every single day that I'm not wearing a suit. I'm a big fan of all the stuff Myles makes.
- Exofficio underwear. You can wear the shit out of them and they never stink. I rotate between like 4 pairs. If you're traveling, they're easy to wash in the sink and dry quickly.
- My wallet is custom (made by a tattoo artist), but I used to have the Saddleback Front Pocket ID Wallet. Same size. I used to carry a giant wallet, and now all I carry is my license, health insurance, law license, two credit cards, cash, and a business card or two. There is no need to have a bunch of shit in your wallet.
- Otterbox if you have an iPhone. It's the best. You can turn the clip and make it into a speaker phone easily. My iPhone 6 is still plugging away after all this time. (my Otterbox also has an Eagles logo on it). Your phone will last forever.
- I'm generally a fan of Saddleback Leather products. I have the thin pocket briefcase, classic briefcase, simple backpack, notepad, etc. If you're in a "professional" profession, the chestnut color looks perfect. If you're in a more rugged profession, the tobacco looks great. They're heavy, for sure, but make good talking pieces and are durable as hell. If I didn't have a Saddleback briefcase, I'd probably rock a Filson.
- Blazers are incredibly efficient. Particularly navy blue ones. Khakis. Black belt. I usually wear brown slip ons because I don't feel like wearing socks, and they go with everything.

Cash (50USD or less here in Serbia)
Phone
Burner Phone
Nice cigs (Dunhill, Davidoff, or Sobranie) Extra points if they're slim, in which case the girls will smoke one.
disposable lighter/ Zippo.
Watch (to avoid checking the damn phones for the time).
Slip of paper with my address on it (to avoid hassle of taxi drivers when I get in)
Photocopy of Identity documents (to avoid loss of the original)
Slip of paper with phone number of good friend(s) (in case of loss/theft of phones)

In my experience, there is no bigger cockblock than an iphone which dies out halfway through the night. Make sure that shit is fully charged
and condoms. Otherwise I end up rawdogging and regretting it
