Are there any issues surrounding traveling on a plane carrying vaping equipment? I travel for business at times and I'm just wondering if TSA gets a little nervous when they see some of this stuff in a carry on. Obviously a cigalike would probably fly through with no problem, but fat stainless colored tubes, batteries and liquid? Hmmm

I have flown a lot and always display my equipment openly when going through security. If and when they take a second look I say "e-cigs". If they say anything about the size I say "just bigger batteries". I tend to get more looks and questions at the very small airports. I have taken GGs, provari, VAMO, etc. I sometimes bring a copy of the specs or ads from websites for non-mechanical units but have not needed to use them yet. My juices stay in the original bottles. Never a real problem though.
Never had a problem at all myself with vaping and going through security, or even using it in the terminal. I just put them all in the tray for scanning and they haven't asked me a question or said a thing about it yet.
As far as vaping in the terminal, I do it openly, but I don't puff out huge plumes of vapor and nobody really minds that I've seen. If you aren't comfy with that, just run into a bathroom stall and puff away in there for a few minutes.

I just recently went from DFW to Tucson and back. Put all my juices and partially full tanks in the ziplock with other liquids, had my eVic and spare Cartos/tanks in an old Oakley hard case in my carry on. No problems at all. Sailed through security at both airports.
Good info here, I was curious about this stuff too. Now I can probably pull the trigger on a Pro-Vari.
I just flew last month. I didn't have any issues at all except they wanted to look into my backpack. My stuff was in an ego case. Once I put my ego case in it's own bin, no one questioned it. I went through security 6 times that trip.
Flown with my SmokeNV thru Toronto-Amsterdam-Dubai-Amman-London-Oslo-Toronto... Except for Toronto (while boarding) no one else bothered, not even Heathrow (which known to be a trigger spot). Yep, like another poster suggested, I too was armed with the flyers, a Cig-to-Vape comparison chart and the weblink of the supplier... which was useful at Toronto.
