Traveling vapes

[Juntau]

Hi guys, quick question!

I'm taking my 1st flight since the vaping bug got hold of me and I'm abit concerned regarding the checking in of my device. Should it be checked in or is it ok in hand luggage?

Depends where you are going to, I have taken mine on hand luggage most of the time and its been fine - have not flown internationally though

Not what you asked but related to you question... What setup you are running? I found that my kayfuns start leaking from the air hole at altitude, would think similar would happen with any bottom coil tank. Apparently there are some tricks like keeping it flipped upside down, now I rather just carry an ego with iclear16 (top coil) on me an keep everything else in a zip lock in hand luggage.

@Juntau I haven't experienced any problems with vape gear, e-juice (small 30ml bottles) and batteries in hand luggage yet; Air France, Emirates, KLM, Swiss, Lufthansa, Singapore Airlines, Aer Lingus, Silk Air and American Airlines. Local flights the only problem I had was George Airport security; once I physically explained to them what the Reo was, they laughed and let me go.

Don't empty your tank, I stealth vaped "lekker" in flight and on Dubai airport February this year.

Can only stealth vape the goblin with its wonderful 0.2 build outside on a foggy day

I've flown internationally with vaping kit. Best to empty your tanks as the pressure changes will cause leaks. Put eliquids in bottle in a clear plastic bag with your toiletries, maximum 100ml bottles. If it bothers you, re-use a name brand bottle (nivea hand cream, whatever) although I went with 5 x 30ml bottles and nobody took a second look at my stuff...however,
I did get pulled over at xray because I had an ego charger attached to an ego battery in my hand luggage case, and they thought it was a "device" but I explained, they called all the security over to give a quick lesson on how ecigs can look in an xray machine and we giggled and went on our way. (it was 2012). Nowdays I would break whatever I am using into the component parts and take them as carry on luggage, or stick in pockets etc. Batteries arent really allowed in the hold in anycase, and even if they are you only need one jobsworth to decide they arent and your luggage gets left behind after xray.

P.S. for the sake of everybody speedily getting on and off, consider if you really do need a dual 26650 tube mech for the beach, or if something a little more subtle will do. While you do have rights, it takes long to explain and we all wanna get onboard and go see the sun

@johan if you see the builds @Juntau has, stealth vaping is practically impossible hehe.
the guy can blow clouds on a mod thats switched off.

If cloud blowing is his thing, then he must suffer - stealth vaping is obviously not for him

i agree, the man must suffer! he works on my ass. "flavour is good but wheres the clouds"

 

[Juntau]

Thanks @Xhale but what about a mod where the batteries cannot be remove (my little M80)

Never had an issue on my travels. But seeing that you go to arab countries it cannot harm to google upfront. If i remember correctly some countries there can give you trouble with vape gear. I.e. Saudi Arabia

Then you can simply look out the window while flying...no need for vaping
