|  Airport security.
Has anyone had problems taking their cig through a security checkpoint at an airport? I have a friend who is taking a trip soon and just made her first purchase and is kinda worried. Any advice is helpful. Thanks all.

I recently flew from California home to AZ. I got dropped off at the unloading curb and checked my bags immediately. I went in, used the restroom & then remembered that my e-cig was still in my purse. I had planned to just check it in my bag so I wouldn't have any issues. I ran out to where I checked my bags but they were already gone. I explained my situation and they told me not to worry about it, I would make it through security okay & they were allowed. The guy knew exactly what it was & said it wasn't a problem, I could take it on the plane. That was Southwest Airlines, each airline may have their own policy so just tell your friend to call the airline & ask. I didn't have any problems though.

Sorry, didn't realize there was one. Thanks for the move. Guess I should have paid more attention it was right there. Thanks for the reply Juicy.

Just flew from Utah to Spokane.....I had no problems in SLC airport with security at all. Flying back Spokane airport security check did check my E-cigs out I told them what it was and the security officer and I had a great conversation about them and she was thinking about trying them out. On the plane I had a small 25 min layover in Boise and was needing a vape.....I took my 510 out and vaped a little in the seat while they cleaned, blowing out in my sleeve. They I just went to the bathroom to get some good puffs, blowing in the sink. No prob at all and I was good to go. The man behind me really smelled like smoke and I know he had to be jonesing for a cig ....I am glad I dont have to feel that anymore.

I live in Spokane and I was wondering what the reaction would be at that airport. It's good to know that people are able to get them past security with out much of a problem. | |

The e-cig is not illegal. TSA don't care about them.

I called the TSA before I flew to Mexico, just to be sure. The assured me that they were familiar with them and had absolutely no problem with e-cigs. I had one kit in my carry-on and one in my checked luggage...just in case! |
