I just posted this question in the Members section a couple of weeks ago. Other ECF members told me that there isn't an issue with the equipment. Batteries/tanks etc. It was suggested to me that you not take a gallon of juice with you on the plane, you may want to check that as a needed. I did a quick search on airport rules on vaping...Tampa International airport you can vape in, Detroit Metro Airport...No.
In the US at least, most batteries are not allowed on the plane, unless you check it. This rule seems to be enforced only when it comes to pvs. Shrug.
Just Googled it here's one that I found: Can You Take An E-Cig On A Plane? – TSA Says Yes…But | Wicked Good Travel Tips and you may want to check this one as well: Some airports give green light to e-cigarettes

I usually take 1 mod with one atomizer with me in carry-on luggage. I also carry on a 10ml juice bottle. And the rest checked. I have done this with flights to/from england, germany, usa, amsterdam, philippines, and south korea.
By international regulation, batteries are not allowed in checked luggage. They must be in carry-on and in appropriate containers -- battery boxes, retail packaging or similar DIYed packaging. The only exception is batteries in devices, which are allowed in checked luggage.
Personally, I prefer to put everything but my big liquid stash in carry-on. That way they can investigate the thing that looks like a pipe-bomb while I wait and not hold up my luggage for 24 hours. You have to put the liquid you are carrying-on in the 1 litre baggie with your other liquids and gells, although I've missed putting my atty in there a couple of times and not been pulled up on it.
Caveat: I haven't done any US domestic flights, but I have done US international ones.

Had everything disassembled in my carry on for a business trip last year, had no problems both ways.
Mods and liquid under the 100ml limit aren't an issue carrying on through TSA checkpoints. Different airports and staff treat rebuilding gear differently though. I've had to leave behind mini needle nose, blue screwdrivers, and hex keys. I would carry only what you will need immediately and check the rest.
I thought it was the other way around? If you are traveling with batteries, they have to be in your carryon?
Flying domestically, I keep everything in my carry-on. Juice bottles (15 or 30 ml) go in my ziploc, along with any liquid-filled tanks. Batteries should be kept in your carry-on as well - I believe regulations prohibit checking them, as several other people mentioned. For your own safety, make sure you carry any of your spare batteries in a plastic or silicon battery carrying case to eliminate the possibility of shorting against metal objects. I've flown through multiple airports in the US without any significant issues, they've only taken a close look at my vaping hardware once or twice and I've never been hassled about it.
Ive flown all around Asia, and in and out of Canada with Vapegear and never had an issue. Always in my pocket. Vape it discreetly in the plane and airport
