Any problems checking ecigs or juice through luggage

[BobbiBilbo]

I am going home for a month to take care of my mother. I plan to take several e-cig kits and quite a bit of juice to be given to some friends of mine back home. Plus, being gone for a month, I plan to take plenty of spare parts and juice for personal use.

Will I have any problems checking all this stuff through with my luggage ?? We're talking 6-8 assorted boxed kits and probably 20-30 15ml bottles of juice. And then spare batteries and atomizers as well.

I've been reading this forum and most threads/posts are related to security/boarding checks and in-flight vaping.

Please advise. Any thoughts, suggestions, advice greatly appreciated.
Thanks !!

Loose lithium batteries may not be packed in your checked luggage but you may bring them in your carry on, but the connection terminals are to be covered. I'm not real sure if they would consider the ones made for e-cigs loose or if they are considered contained within the device and considered safe for checked luggage. The rest should be fine in your checked bag.

Excellent. All batteries will go in my carry on luggage. Thanks.

Also check the sticky thread TSA and the E-cig FAQ;
TSA and the Ecig FAQ

The FAQ was written by a TSA Agent (13ways) You can get the information right from the horses mouth.

I will only add, to keep your juice secure in your checked bags. You don't want to get nothing but a large puddle of juice when you pick up your bags.

I just flew to NC on American Airlines and bought several spare batts and attys.
I just rubberbanded them together with highlighters and pencils and put pen caps on them, Lol. I also bought several bottles of juice and just had them in with my bathroom stuff-in my carry-on. No problems.
Good luck!

You could place an order and have it shipped to the location your visiting and avoid having to take some things on the plane.

Well since I have been mentioned I will go ahead and say I am not the person to talk to when you want to know about baggage. I am only certified for passenger screening. Basically that means I do not know any of the baggage guidelines. I will say that I would think you would be ok if you pack them in your checked bags but keep in mind that if they take something out of your checked bags you don't have the option to take it out. It is gone at that point.

Sorry 13;
That statement was my fault. I didn't stop to think when I posted.

Thanks for all the help, folks. I am packing, now. Looks like I will take all batteries in my carry-on and we'll see what I do with the attys. Depends on space, I guess. Liquids will be in my checked baggage (except for what I need for the journey). They are packed in plastic bags inside Tupperware containers.

Just a little scary taking so many parts along. But I gotta do what I gotta do. Going to be gone for a month and want to have personal spares plus I have so many friends to introduce to vaping.

BobbiBilbo;

I don't recall you mentioning where you are going. Where ever it is, their is probably a supplier in that area if you need something before the month is up.
