I am traveling from the United States to Canada next weekend. I will be driving across the border, not flying. Is there any problem with taking batteries/Atomizers/cartridges/fluid/chargers across the border? Or am I setting myself up for big problems?

Hi Carnage,
Living near the Canadian border in Washington State, I have lots of customers who come down to pick up their vaping goodies. It seems to be a pretty mixed bag of responses from them ranging from no problem to confiscated goods. It sounds to me that if you claim it, it's going bye bye. Good luck in your smuggling operation! Can't wait till the Canadian health ministry makes them easily accessible to you.

Should have also said that many of our Canadian customers have us ship to a state side PO box. Might be something to consider.

Long time ago on this forum I read that US residents should have no problem bringing in ecig supplies for their own use. Personally I would look at it no differently than I would any other personal possession; no need to mention it. Also I would not have it out nor use it when going through the border.
The Cdn Advisory states that hardware is O.K. just not nicotine. So for sure hardware is OK. They are not illegal to use, so you'll be OK anywhere smoking is permitted.
Perhaps it would be worth using the search function to look for any Cdn border crossing posts to see if you can come up with other posts re this?
Hope you have a good visit!

Wow I really jumped the gun on this one. 
Somehow I thought you were a Canadian taking things back into the country after purchase in the US. 
I'd imagine that you will still face the same challenges but it should be easier. Just hide it! Sorry for the completely irrelevant info earlier

Thanks for the advice. I have decided that I should just leave the E-Cigs at home. I really don't want to get harassed/have my stuff taken from me.
I'm actually going on a fishing trip where you get dropped off on a lake by plane. The cabin does have electricity but it is essentially a battery charged during the day by solar power.....cloudy days = not that much power so how well this was going to work out was in question. This cinches it.
I'm still on a few analogs a day until the end of July (At least, that is the plan). So, I'll probably just take more analogs in. As a smoker, this should seem appealing but it really doesn't. It has made me realize that I actually like vaping more than smoking.

Yeah that's prolly the way I'd go too. I'm afraid of having my stuff jacked by a Canadian border agent that can't get his PV supplies any other way.
Have a great time on that trip! Post some pics of your trophies when you get back!!
