Travel and Vaping You think this mod would get through TSA ok?

[theXawakening]

I'm wanting to take my hana modz clone on a trip but I'm just scared of it looking sketchy! Also wanting to bring along my Private V2 as a backup...

$45.86 HANAA MODZ Pack DNA 50 Style 7-50W Variable Wattage APV Box Mod - Grey

Mine is actually the black version

Ain't nothing wrong with that - put in in your carry on and you're good.

 

[theXawakening]

Thats reassuring! this little thing just has no branding or anything and looks like a detonator so I was nervous. Should I leave a battery in it??

 

[mac63]

Shouldn't matter in or out. If you take it out put it in a case/holder of some kind.
Taking it out will prevent it from getting accidently turned on.

 

[Bunnykiller]

just tell them its a cell phone with a really tiny screen....

 

[Bunnykiller]

or you could call a travel agent/booker and ask them .. pretty sure they should be up on the rules for air travel....

 

[DreamWithin]

You shouldn't have any problem. I've carried my Hana on two trips and didn't even get a flinch out of the TSA agents either time. The only PV I ever had a reaction to was the Darwin a few years back (they backed the tray under the scanner a second time and another agent looked and said it was okay), but that really was a weird looking device at the time

And leaving the battery in is fine ;-)

Yeah I travel a lot and always have a couple of mods with me. juice goes in the toiletries bag, take the mods out and put them in the tray separate from the luggage (next to your phone and shoes / etc). Not that it's required to take them out, but if they want a second look that will keep them from digging through your bag to try and find the "weird looking thing" from the x-ray images.

I've traveled alot with several mods.. egos, mechs, large regulated tube mods, cloupor hana clone (no branding), juice, drippers, tanks, wick, wire, the whole shebang.
General travel rules:
Batterys ALWAYS go in the carry on. they could explode if put in the cargo hold.
Juice goes in a separate sandwich bag in my quart size ziplock bag with other liquids (not necessary, but I dont want eliquid all over my shampoo bottle... or visa versa)

I usually keep a mod in my pocket in the airport, and throw that in with my cellphone to be scanned.
I've traveled several times to and from SLC , AUS, LAX, and Medford Oregon's airport. They've never taken a second look.

Good to know

I'm just back from several weeks of travelling and simply put my box mod in with my phone and other assorted stuff to scan through security. Nobody said a thing, although one agent chatted me up for at least 5 minutes on my mod (he vaped too!).

I had leakage from my KFL+ during my first flight, until I realised that I had to store it upside down during flight to prevent air pressure changes from pushing the liquid out through the airflow. Every flight after, I just stuck it in the seat back pocket upside down and not a leak.

Great tip! I've definitely had issues w/ tanks leaking all over the place on airplanes, especially since I'm often flying from the plains of the midwest out to Colorado

That's funny. When my wife saw my first box mod she said exactly that (looks like a detonator).

 

[LouisLeBeau]

I was going to stop by my travel agent tomorrow, they sell slide rules and answering machines and I need some of those. I'll ask while I'm there...

I found out that when going across the border to Canada that they won't allow vapor products through customs. But you should be fine seeing as ur staying in America

 

[saddlehorse blues]

I've flown between Canada, USA, Mexico a few times with mods, tanks, juice and had no problems. I keep it all in my carry on and make sure the juice is in the liquids bag. I wouldn't put mine in checked luggage because it's much easier to explain what the stuff is and even demonstrate if required. (I'm pretty sure lipo batteries aren't allowed in checked luggage anyway.) Don't expect to find juice at any airports either, I've had zero luck on that front so far. Was hoping to see something new.
