airport issues

[jose61]

so guys i will be traveling back to panama form china this month but will stop in frankfurt and venezuela.
in venezuela they manually check the check in suitcases of every international flyer (i know its weird as hell) but those are the policies in that airport.
i been reading allot of threads in regards to traveling with e cigs but, i dont find a proper manual on how to do it =)
basically i need the follwing info taking into account that i will stop in frankfurt fo a day checking out bags and in venezuela.
i will be taking:
2 vgo
2 510
4 30ml e liquid
30 cartomizers
10 cartriges

how can i take them? i would love to have during my flytime and airport stops in my carry on bag at least 1 vgo with me with 2 batteries just in case and at least 5 cartomizers how can I pack it? and how can i pack the rest in my check in bags not to have problems can i just pack them in their gift boxes?.
I am quite scared about venezuela thought ( been thinking allot about locked up abroad haha) any advice?

Pack it all in your carry on backs in ziplock bags and you should be fine. If you put it in your checked luggage it may dissapear

it will be cool if i can have a more specific answer

Put the atomizers/cartridges/cartomizers in one ziplock baggie. Put the fluids in a second baggie. Put the batteries, with nothing else connected to them, in a third baggie, in order to go through your security checkpoints.

Four one ounce (30 ml) bottles of liquid ought not be an issue, if they are in their own bag.

If anyone at the security check asks you can tell them what it is, offer to show them, but the equipment is not illegal (and, actually, the batteries at least really ought to be carry-on, not checked).

When I fly I put my battery + cartos + 5 ml of liquid in a zip lock bag.
When I go through security I put the ziploc bag in the plastic container, for everyone to see.
Never had a problem. One time one security person asked the other what that was.
She said: an electronic cigarette. Airport security are aware of them.

Can you mail the rest of your stuff to your final destination?
If they take it away from you, you'll be loosing a lot of money.

But the airlines don't like mystery liquids in carry-ons do they?

I believe there is a forum section on traveling with your PV.... here
Travel and E-Cig

See if you can find what you need in that thread. And you also might want to research what countries don't allow nicotine liquids in the country at all. I think Australia is like that but I don't know where else.

thanks guys allot for the sugestions, now my plan is to be vaping cartos in the airport and throught my flight stops so i will not actually need the juiceds if i have some cartos filled up.
i think my mayor concern is the amount of batterries i will be carring in the carry on (6 bateries) and they are all manual but if you guys say its ok lets give it a try.

guy what do you think if i just put the e-cigs in its gift box on the carry on bag when i am going to the airport i also found out that panama has e-cigs banned but i dont know about if its only for personal use if i will have problems any info??

Sorry I fly often but only in the states. I did a quick google search and Panama is not very keen of ecicgs. One note I saw was no import and export. IMO - This would include flying in with one. Not sure how long your travel plans are for, but looks like you taking a large supply with you. Maybe safe to take 1 device and a small amount with you and mail some. lower the risk. It will be up too you in the long run.
