As these guys have stated already, it really isn't a problem. Put your fluids in a sandwich bag, make sure you are within the rules as far as how much you can keep in that bag.
I took a trip to Seattle a couple weeks ago and had no problems whatsoever. I was all freaked out wondering if they were going to bug me about it...and the only thing they inspected was the WATER we had in a diaper bag for our 4 month old daughter who I was carrying. They went and tested the water, not a word about anything else. lol.

sigh... The TSA is so effective.

the 2006 transatlantic aircraft plot is why the test was done on the water. type that into wikipedia for more info on that. As far as the question for the OP the make of the bottles is of no consequence. Glass, plastic, bat guano it doesnt matter as long as the bottle is labeled less than 3.4 ounces or 100 ML. If you have a bottle larger than that put it in your checked baggage. Also if you have a bottle larger than that, holy crap you have a lot of juice lol.

This thread just made me think what would happend if somone took billyboy's dual atomizer pv (aka the shotgun) to the airpot, the red switch on it does look like a detonator and there are wires coming out of it lol.

Oh a question I can help with!!!
I am an Air Transportation Specialist in the Air Force=)
You may not bring any liquids over 3oz in your carry on bags. For those liquids, you are not authorized more than 3oz bottles, unless it is in your checked bag. This is to include aerosol, lotions, gels, and any other liquid. The exception to this rule is perscription medication, needed during flight, personal care products ( decision made per inspector ), and baby milk / formula in reasonable quanities.
Hope this helps=)
Here is the direct TSA links that you should read.

Drake there are a couple of things with your post that are false. First the limit is 3.4 ounces or 100ML to accommodate bottles of perfume and cologne, though many officers wont say anything if its 4 ounces but dont quote me on that. Second personal care items are not allowed if they are over the limit. Only medicines, babies milk (breast milk, fomula, regular milk, and water when acompanied by formula) and juice for people with diabetes and toddlers are allowed. Yes over the counter medicines count and no eliquid does not
and no water doesnt count as juice for diabetics as there is no sugar in water. I am an officer with TSA and have to take peoples shampoo and shaving cream away from them every day. One more thing, Im not trying to nitpick with the .4 ounces added on I just dont want people thinking they cant take their bottle of cologne or what not because of the .4 ounces. While Im adding things on to this post I just feel like sharing that aluminum foil will not hide anything in your bag so please dont be like the family I saw today trying to hide their Cokes by wrapping them in aluminum foil and putting them under a laptop. Now let the TSA bashing commence haha.

13Ways, so can you please recommend what would be the best way to the liquid and PV through? I don't need to vape in the plane, but I really want to have the PV for the waiting time and delays after passing security.
How should I take lets say a small 10ml bottle of eliquid, Prodigy with two extra batteries and two 510 atomizers? Would this cause a problem at the security?

First thing I would do is separate each item. Dont send it through assembled unless you feel like having your bag searched. If they still search your bag they will run a test on it and it will come back negative therefor they wont consider it a threat and you will be good to go. They may ask what it is but thats about all the questioning you will get. I say to dismantle it because I know a 901 looks really bad on an xray. I saw another ecig go through once but Im not sure what kind it was because I only saw the xray not the PV itself but it also looked bad. I can only imagine what a prodigy would look like. If you want to be very safe from a bag check you can run the prodigy by itself. Also the eliquid is perfectly fine in you 3-1-1 bag. 3.4 ounces equates to 100ml so you are well under with 10ml. With what you are bringing even if completely assembled inside a bag what you are bringing would not create a problem it would just slow down your trip through security. Like has been said earlier Ecigs are not illegal and have not been added to the prohib list so there are really no worries.
