Air Travel question

[t man]

I will be taking my first plane trip since I started vaping. I see people have posted about flying with gg devices so I am not worried about that. My question is batteries? I am trying to figure out what I can take on carry on baggage. My plan was to take 1 jgg/ithika with a 1490 battery installed plus 4 1490's in battery cases. After looking at tsa regulations I am not sure I can do this. Does anyone know if a imr 1490 contains more than 2 grams of Lithium?
Thanks in advance for any info. Tim

When i went to the Philippine's i disassembled my ggts and put it in my luggage also my ithaka in my luggage disassembled my bats because of the rules put them in the plastic storage cases with my camera and took them in my carry on. Bought a really cheap 510 bat and low resistance atomiser and 10ml of juice but that in my carry on with my camera and used that when i could no problems hope that gives you some ideas.

I read somewhere that the allowed grams of lithium is very large compared to what we carry for vaping. Cannot find the link now.

New FAA regulations just released this July 31st: http://www.faa.gov/news/updates/?newsId=78605

As long as batteries are protected (in cases) you're fine for carry on. They are not allowed (I don't think) in checked baggage. I always carry 2 boxes with 2 each 18490 and one plastic box with 4 18350s. I've done this 15-16 days a month all over the world and no issues. I do disguise my Esterigons or JGGs as a flashlight when headed to the Middle East however.

This year I took 8 - 18650 batteries with me ( in battery cases ) to Puerto Vallarta Mexico and Key West FL. The batteries are not allowed in checked baggage. When I go thru the screening I do pull the battery cases out of my carry on and place them in the bins.....no problems at all.

I also take my battery charger along in my carry on.

Good Luck to You!!!

Anybody use any reliable portable charger for travel? Similar to this
Amazon.com: EBL® 4 Pack 18650 3.7V 2600mAh Rechargeable li-ion Battery with Universal Charger for 10440,14500,16340,18500,18650 Rechargeable Li-ion Battery: Cell Phones & Accessories

I have been taking my Nitecore when I travel but been looking for something without the cord and smaller form factor.

Thanks for the feedback, sounds like I should not have any problems.

Update
Just got back from my trip. JGG/Ithaka and batteries made it through tsa with no problems

New regs which will be in effect from Dec2015 require manufacturers to mark watt/hour on the casing and an industry testing standard mark. Additionally batteries must be packed in such a way to avoid contact and potential short circuit (plastic battery cases should be fine).

I have not had to travel by plane with vape equipment since I started my journey, but I would defer to the Captain's relevant experience any day!
