Done.Hi all
Have moved this thread to a newly created subforum called Vaping and Travel.
I see lots of discussion on this topic - so we felt this topic needs a permanent "home".
We will be moving other similar threads into here over time.
@Andre - I would like to invite you to make a new thread in this subforum with your highly informative summary above
Alternatively, if you like I can move it or copy it into a new thread for you if you prefer. Just let me know.
Hope this will help.
Same rules.
Not on any carry-on luggage, you have to check that in.
Vaping is legal there, but vendors cannot sell nic containing juices. Vapers can, however, import nic for personal use. Vaping has become quite popular in NZ and many shops around. They are re-looking their regulations, banning the sale of nic containing juice. I have a brother there. He vapes.Thanks guys, I'm traveling to NZ tomorrow and this thread has answered a lot of questions i couldn't find on the web. Seems NZ is rather backward regarding vaping. Very strict. Last time i went i i was still smoking and even then it was "shameful" trying to figure out where you can smoke and not Would try find spots with stompies on the ground to no avail lol. They actually clean there streets and parks etc
@Andre was awesome enough to do this for us all!Hi All so im Leaving to the UK for family Visit on the 23rd December leaving here what must be put into my Cargo hold Luggage and what may i take as Carry on and how ?
Ps Flying with British Airways

Thanks all
Yeah, I gathered as such.
Went on a trip from South Africa to the United States through Germany. At the Munich airport they cleared my two mods I had at the time no problem but they seized my two Cosmic fog juices. The juice had the triangle warning sign on the bottle and the second they saw it they took it from me. Very frustrating as they were unopened and cost a lot.
Next trip to Europe I decided to cut the labels with a stanley knife and test the airport security staff. I neatly cut the label where the triangles were for any of my juices with that warning and left the remaining label looking neat and intact. This time around no issues whatever
Every time I fly now I just precut any labels with that warning.
Problem solved for now
3 years ago, I was traveling to the US, via UK. I had 2 x iStick TC60W mods with me, 4 x Samsung 18650's, 1 x Kangertech Subtank Mini and 1 x Aspire Nautilus, and 1 x 20ml unmarked bottle of juice, all in my hand luggage.
Heathrow Terminal 5 security stopped me and asked me about the kit, but, once I explained what it was, no issue, straight through.
In the terminal, waiting 12 hours for my flight, asked one of the staff if I am allowed to vape anywhere. I had to use the term electronic cigarette and show it to them.
They said I can use it anywhere in the terminal, just not on the flight. Was so shocked that I asked 3 more different staffers and 1 security person, and all confirmed.
I parked my ass in a seat, and started vaping to my hearts content. Other the stares from passengers, no issue at all!
Not sure if this is STILL the case.
Many travels to the US since, some through Heathrow, and others through Dubai, all with virtually the same gear, and never and issue.
Dubai has big smoking lounges all over, so, no issue vaping there.
Last trip to the US, flew business on Emirates. The toilets all have those nice air blowers, at face level infront of you, sitting on the can. Turned it on full blast and just blew the vapor straight into the air blower, and no issues either.
As other have said, vaping on the plane is asking for trouble though!
I actually asked one of the senior flight crew on why it's banned ... MAIN reason ... Assholes see the vapor, think it's smoke, and light up the stinky's!
