Norfolk VA? Why on gods green earth would you come here?

I think you might be the 3rd vaper in Hampton Roads, after my wife and myself.

I'm flying to Chicago in 2 weeks, hopefully I don't run into any issues there.

Hey Getcusome i giggled at your set up. I am still a noob at vaping but your set up at first glance looks like a setup for a private night alone! I would have thought that was some serious sex toys with different flavors of oil. I would think if you get looked at that is what they will be thinking! :-) As far as my fellow friends here in Tacoma and my friend there at MCO i look forward to vaping with you. I fly from here to MCO about 2 times a year. Orlando is my home town and visit my family often. Though I am in college and have less time to do it I still have a good routine.

You have a friend at MCO?

With the recent happenings and all the questions people have been asking I just thought I would reiterate that I plan on updating this section as the rules pertaining to PVs change. As of now there have been no changes to what should be done that is why I have not changed the FAQ. Just be aware that many airports are being more vigilant than they may have been before. If you follow what is said in the FAQ though the most you will get is a puzzled look, maybe a couple questions, and a test run on your bag.

A member on this forum recently said he was delayed in the checkpoint by TSA for 20 minutes or so as they asked him questions. Just know that his experience is the worst that TSA can legally inflict on anyone.

Happy vaping.

Yea I'm traveling on the 22nd with Delta so when I get through the checkpoint I'll just make a post letting everyone what happened. I'll carry those nifty cards that V4L put in my order just in case also.

What about a usb passthru?

Just got back from mi trip. I left from Norfolk, VA and flew to JFK with delta then vice versa. I had no problems at all. I just put everything in a ziploc bag and threw the guidebook and cards I got from V4L in my purse just in case. But it went through TSA with no problems and no questions asked.

I'll be coming through MCO soon. Thanks for the info.

A silly question... why do our local florida news stations call Orlando airport OIA when its actually MCO.

I will be traveling to PR in a few weeks and will be going through MCO. Thanks so much for all the info.

They call it OIA because the name of the airport is Orlando International Airport. The letter designation MCO comes from when the airport was an air force base. It was McCoy Orlando Air force base.

About the PT question, any and all accessories that one might be traveling with will be fine. The only thing I would steer clear of bringing with you is a syringe unless you have medications you have to inject.
