Travel and Vaping Any issues with TSA and PCCs?

[justaguy0]

Hey guys,

Just curious. I've already read the other various posts on people who travel. Being a business travler myself, and off to travel again this weekend, I'm trying to figure out the best method for going through the TSA security checkpoint.

I basically plan to put my container of med. vanilla flavored e-liquid in the little 3-1-1 plastic.

I have the Joye 510, black model, with blue led, and I also have the Black metal PCC to go along with it.

I plan to store my PCC fully loaded with 2 filled / capped carts, an extra battery, and a filled cart attached to a silver (extra) atomizer all in the PCC, and put that in one of my laptop/backpack carrying pouches. Anyone think I'll have an issue with that?

Also in regards to my "assembled" 510, I'm trying to figure out what I should do with that. Dissassemble it, and put the atomizer, battery, cart, in a separte area? Or, leave it all together and put it in a pen pouch or something?

Just curious what others think.

No issues. They might do a bag check, but those items are NOT prohibited. I know, I work for the TSA.

What do I tell them if they do a bag check and ask, "what the heck is all of this?" espeically since I'm flying American and you can't use them on American. I just don't want them confiscating all my stuff. Plus it's Chicago O'Hare.... the TSA folks there are the worst (no offense)....

Oh and if someone can please move this thread to the travel forum. I posted in the wrong spot by mistake. Thanks!

Tell them what it is. It's not prohibited. Although you may not vape on the plane, possessing a PV at the airport is not prohibited.

By the way, just to clarify, TSA does not confiscate anything. If a prohibited item comes through the checkpoint, the passenger always has an option of checking it in baggage, returning it to your car, or giving it to someone in the terminal, or mailing it back to yourself.
