Travelling to Boston

[oseigneur]

Hello Everybody!

I will be travelling to Boston. I read that that Boston forbids to vape everywhere where smoking is prohibited. Whta does this mean? Am I allowed to vape on the street?

I am also wondering if there is any form of prohibition to travel on plane with e-liquids in the checked-in baggage.

Thanks for your help!

Hi

Nope - that never was passed. It's still up to individual establishments to make up their own rules about whether vaping is allowed on sight or not. There are no general rules or bans about vaping in public.

See here for general travel info. ~> Travel and E-Cig You just have to follow TSA liquids rules for any other type of liquid in carry on. Stick to 30 ml bottles, they have to go in your liquids bag for screening, and as long as you stay below the total allowed for liquids you won't have any problems. Batteries go in your PV and/or in appropriate plastic battery boxes. Again - carry on - not in checked baggage.

Can't help with the Boston question, I don't ever fly into there. As far as your other question, I fly with my "travel kit" in my backpack all the time. Usually I have two 15ml bottles of liquid, spare tank, coils and batteries and never get hassled through security for that. BUT they always inspect my iVP mini and tank after it passes through the X-ray. Usually I carry a pelican case in my checked luggage with 100-150 ml (sometimes I'm overseas for a month at a time) of fluid and I've never had any problems. I will warn you though, some tanks and some of the plastic fluid bottles have leaked on me. Just check your caps or throw them in sandwich bags before flying. Hope this helps!

Thanks, this is good news!
And thank also for the advice on putting batteries in the carry-on baggage.

Thanks, this answers the second part of my question. I will report if i get any form of troubles at the border.

Just wanted to report: no real problem.
The E-cigs were spotted in the X-Ray machine. Then they did a special test at the airport.
But all was fine and i got my 2 ecigs back 3 minutes later.
