Travel and Vaping Airport security

[soysos]

Forgive me if this has been answered but my flight leaves in the morning and some questions came up while I was packing. I won't be checking a bag so everything has to go through security.
Is a needle tip bottle ok? What about nail clippers? Can't I leave my kayfun on the mod or does it have to go in the baggie with the other liquids? This is the first time I've been on a plane since I started vaping and this hadn't come to mind until now.

i would put the kayfun in the bag with the other liquid - as it works on pressure, it is sure to leak when the plane takes off/lands.

the rest, i dunno, i never flew on a plane

I just flew last month to Cuba -- pack the clippers, tweezers or anything else that cuts in your checked luggage. Same with bottles of juice, they might try to confiscate them. Bring your Kayfun in your carryon, but in a Baggie to protect against leakage. Have a good flight

Edit: I just noticed you won't be checking a bag. If you're traveling within the U.S., your juice should be fine in a Baggie, same with the Kayfun. Disconnect it from your mod and shut the battery off though.

I had planned to have the kayfun on my istick in my pocket just wanted to know if I could keep them together or if I had to put the kayfun in the liquids bag.

You can bring your vape on the plane as long as you don't use it obviously lol. Also, as long as you dont have over 3 ounces, or 88ml on you, you will be okay. I bring my mech and dripper plus whatever extra batteries on the plane at all times because I don't trust all airport security to know what a mechanical mod or dripper is and I also don't trust IMR batteries in an unpressurized area of the plane. When you have it on you, you can at least explain what it is if it gts flagged instead of opening your bag to find it rummaged through and your set-up gone. No problems with flying here so far, and hopefully it will stay that way.

I noticed that you said that you weren't checking baggage...that makes it tougher depending on tools. Clippers are fine, but coil wire and batteries seem a stcking thing since TSA doesn't like the passenger having access to such items. Hence, checking a bag works better. (IMHO)

I have both mods with removeable batteries and mods that just recharge. If I knew that i wasn't checking a bag, I would take mods that just recharge. The rest of the rebuilding tools/equipment, I just limit. When I carry extra RTAs, they are with coil and wick inside.

Just me.

Batteries aren't a problem as carry on items at all. I always take 6-8 batteries in battery boxes and have the boxes in a zip lock bag and place the bag in the bin for x-ray. They don't look twice at batteries of this size.
I'd put the filled Kayfun in the liquid bag. Clippers are also allowed. To make things easier, I also put all carry on electronics in a zip lock bag and put it in a bin for the x ray. I wouldn't take needle tip bottles...

Never had a problem with airport security but as other have pointed out it is good to empty the tanks as they will most likely leak

A little late here since you've already flown, but in my experience none of what you have should be a problem at the checkpoint except for possibly the needle-tipped bottle, not sure how they'd react to that

Things like nail clippers are acceptable. I had those confiscated once, but generally they are allowed (made no sense to take them anyway, since bigger ones were stocked in the airport shops )
Coil wire is generally not a problem, I've carried small quantities through checkpoints with no questions asked
liquid bottles go in your liquid bag and won't get a second glance (again, not sure about needle-tipped ones)
In my experience you can leave your tank on the device, I've done this with RTAs and carto tanks, though as stated already it might leak on the plane

All that applies for domestic flights, I don't have any advice for international
