Vape gear and Airport security

[chebird]

Hi fellow vapors, Im looking to hear your experience and suggestions for bringing mods, liquids, tanks ect. on vacation? We will be traveling out of the country on our honeymoon and we obviously want our vape gear so what to do on international flights? Customs coming back into the States? please help!!

Don't know about international, but in the us it is no problem.

Depends where you are going. I've gotten the secondary screening at AMS and PRG. They knew what my gear was, but they also knew what others are using it for. I put all the liquids in the quart bag, and don't take filled tanks. Everything else is in a plastic box, which I take out and put in the bin to get scanned. My backup gear, which goes in my checked bag also goes in aplastic box and on top of the bag for easy access. I did get the TSA note last trip saying they searched my bag.

Depends on where you're going.

Ah, you wont need your vape gear on your hm. You'll be to busy JK

I too am traveling in a few weeks and have fears of not packing stuff correctly.

Not sure about international, but I've flown domestically round-trip twice recently. Each time I put the liquids and empty tank/drippers in my quart bag and left the Provari in my messenger bag. Went through no problem each time.

I'm thinking any metal tube is likely to raise eyebrows but something like mvp or vtr might look more normal.

I haven't been on an airplane for 25 years, but I would expect that airports are pretty used to vape gear. It may not be exactly mainstream, but it's certainly popular enough that they are bound to have a whole bunch of people, every day, who bring some version of an e-cig or vaping gear.

If it were me, I'd pack my Provari, extra batteries, extra juice, and misc stuff like that into checked baggage, and I'd carry a Vision Spinner and a Protank full of juice. That should get me to wherever I can get my regular baggage back out, and if they did unexpectedly refuse to allow my Spinner onboard, it's easier to deal with than the Provari. But I'd be shocked if they didn't let you take it on the plane. That doesn't mean they'll say it's Okay to vape on the plane. Totally different discussion.

I tell them before I go through security and put the gear in the bin, that I have batteries and electronic cigarettes. The best thing to do is put everything in 1 container. I made the mistake once of having all my gear, chargers, wires... in pockets and compartments in my carry on, and had to take everything out because random wires and chargers look funny on x-ray...
