Thanks in Advance!!!

If I were you, I'd take your battery and charger in your suitcase, and arrange for some new juice and carts/clearomisers/tanks/whatever to be ordered and delivered to your hotel etc. That way, you KNOW that you're not going to be stuck without and be hunting around desperately. I absolutely wouldn't advise using it on a plane either! Lol! Think ahead to every possible possibility and try and cover yourself so you don't have to hand in an expensive bit of kit!x

Have you considered maybe trying to conceal it in a body cavity? Probably not the best idea though on an international flight since they may think its drugs.

LOL! Have you seen the size of some of these things?!x

i have heard of people bringing them and using them on planes there are even some videos of people doing it, but i would never try to bring or use any of my more expensive mods with me, i would put one or two in my luggage with some small bottles of juice and maybe buy a few disposables for my carry on's that way if they get confiscated it wouldn't be the end of the world

never had issue on any flights, i got to washroom and hit plunger on sink when exhale and all vapor go down the drain. simple.

well here in California where i live the police can check your liquid for drugs yes sounds crazy but i know for a fact you can use it for ......... consumption. So customs will hold you up. I would pack all my stuff in luggage and for your international trip it might be better to send it and i would send like an ego or a backup no expensive mod (at least i wouldn't chance it anyway) if you want to try on the plane get a couple disposables (hopefully ones you can change out the juice idk i never have had one) send an ego and juice to y our hotel (make sure the package had no indications of being tobacco related or it will be held in customs. Also if your juice smells like tobacco well they got tobacco dogs specifically for things like Cuban cigars.

So to be sure i would send a package to my hotel and have them hold it for you until you arrive just make sure it gets there before you. although for domestic flights i would probably pack it but i still wouldn't bring anything more expensive than an ego in case you do lose it by customs.

Now the main thing about bringing them on the plane carry on would be the lithium battery i believe they are not allowed carry on but i am not sure so the best way IMO is to send a package with a cheap ego even if you have to buy one, that is if you can afford $20 as traveling is already expensive but i think it would be worth it.

i dont think the lithium battery will be a problem every cell phone,ipod,tablet and laptop out there uses them

I am not sure if my question is the same as the Op, but it is similar in question.

As a Canadian i am finally going to be able to cross the border into the USA. I think i will be doing the crossing in Winnipeg (directly above North Dakota), then flying to Minnesota with a small lay over then down to Dallas Texas and finally up to Kansas (yeah i have no idea either why it is so confusing). I have already gathered that my eRoll's, Redd's (like the Blu in the USA) Pcc, and maxx fusion 808's will be fine to put in my carry on, as well as bottles of juice (If they are properly labeled and in zip lock baggies).

However, i am curious are you allowed to vape in the actual airports (more so the international)? Do they have vape stores in said airports of Minnesota and Dallas? My heart is already broken that there is no Dukin Doughnuts as i have had a six year craving for their Camel/hazel nut coffee so no vape stores in the air port is not much worse

I've traveled a lot in the last two and half years that I've been vaping, crossing borders at airports, by car, and internationally. I never go without my vaping gear and backups enough to last me for 3 times the amount of time that I intend being out of the country.

I usually have my main PV in hand, and have put it into the grey bin at Security. I have a couple in my carry on, and backups in my checked in luggage. Never an issue.

I would not recommend vaping at airports, and on the plane, but that's just me.

When I went to Orlando in December, I put my batteries and liquid, etc. in my checked luggage and threw a disposable in an inside pocket of my purse. I vaped in the washroom stall at Toronto airport and in the washroom on the plane!

I've flown to a few different countries with them and have had no problems. Might be good to check and see how legal they are depending on where you are going.

When I do go I have my batteries/devices in the front pouch (which is clear) of my carry on bag, that way they can see what it is. All juice I have is labelled and I put it in ziplock bags, take it out and keep it under the limit for liquids. You could put them in your checked luggage, but I usually travel light.

Going anywhere from Canada is usually fine, it's coming back into Canada that is usually a problem. I usually try to plan to use just enough, or have just a little left over by the time I come back in case it gets taken away. I've never had customs check my carry on when I come back (beware on smaller flights, sometimes your overhead luggage will go through customs after leaving the plane). I will also take off the labels, so if they ask I'm prepared to say it's just food flavoring, or nicless juice. Had a few bottles in my last flights checked luggage with labels off and nothing happened.


As for flying and in the airport, I am too much a coward to vape out in the open. On flight I will vape in the bathroom once or twice, making sure the steam is gone by the time I go out. Usually it only leaves a slight hint of what your vaping in the air, for all anyone knows it could be perfume. In the airport I use the bathrooms and try to blow it down, as the steam tends to stay in the area you blow it before dispersing.

I know of no airports that have vape only areas, but there are a few airports with sealed off smoking lounges, where if you can smoke cigarettes you can vape. If I have time I will leave the secure area and just go outside, but when I only have a little time between connecting flights I make frequent bathroom stops One other thing to keep in mind is claim ignorance if you're caught. Smoking laws are in place for combustible tobacco. That means the law only covers burning things and inhaling smoke, not vaping. So while it may be mostly superficial, people seeing vapor and thinking it's smoke, it's best to be polite and do it out of eyes view but there is nothing illegal about it. That all said, airplanes and airports have the right to refuse you service if they catch you.

You can't pack batteries in a suitcase, they want them as carry on. Safe Travel with Batteries and Devices | Transportation Security Administration

Unless the airline you are travelling on prohibits them, you can vape on the plane but stealth it, others may see smoke and think fire. Be respectful wherever you are, and keep the vapor to yourself. Sun Country is based in Minnesota and allows it. Or did last I flew them. They also allowed it in the terminal in Minneapolis. Your best bet is to go to the airlines website and look for e-cigs specifically.

Security has seen them all, so there should be no hassle. If they ask you what it is, show them.
