Well, I have been lugging my e-cig supplies with me for at least 9 months and I bet I've traveled at least 100K miles in that time going thru US and International security points without any problems.
Jim D travels as much if not more and I have not heard of him having any problems.
And I don't hide it or make it look like something else.

Here you go.

Right - Trying to hide it may cause trouble, although i *do* keep an extra hidden away, just in case. The only thing I wonder about is the syringe. Sooner or later it mat cause a problem somewhere.

Check this out;

1/2 OZ BOTTLE W/NEEDLE TIP

I don't know the needle size though. My juice is pretty thick, and I don't know if it would flow.

Jim, I actually never carry a needle or syringe, brought it with me to prove a point and take a picture. The TSA is not looking for these things, how do they know if I am diabetic?
I carry sleeping pills/valium with me on International flights and they are not in a prescription bottle, never been questioned.

I guess I'm just a little paranoid about carrying a syringe. As far as pills go, I do the same thing.

It's funny you should mention diabetic. I was going through security a while back, and TSA took a bottle of water from a woman. She said she needed it because she was diabetic, and they gave it back to her, no questions asked. Great system huh?

WHY SHOULD WE HAVE TO HIDE IT ITS LEGAL FFS

No one said you had to hide it, but if you pack it sloppily, it may look suspicious under the x-ray. Then you will be delayed, until they check it out.

Interesting information. I'll keep all this mind when I am packing for my trips. No more bowling balls with a wick attached.

Thanks for all the info! I'm getting nervous about this as well as I'm going to be flying to another state in 2 weeks. I'm so nervous that I have contemplated shipping a bunch of stuff to my hotel (via USPS Priority) ahead of time just to avoid any potential problems. I don't fly often, I hate it, and this additional worry is putting me over the edge.

Man, I love this forum! I'm flying to Switzerland soon and wondered if I was going to have any problems going through security...now I'm not so worried.
