I'm actually leaving for Manila in 2 weeks. I wanna take a lot of my vaping stuff with me...i.e KR808, Volcano Inferno(looks like eGo), and my Big KaZoo box mod. Everyone is telling me I shouldn't take these, especially the Big KaZoo because they might look suspiciosly like some sort of detonator...but I keep reading that no one really has problems with bringing these types of devices along for air travel...I don't know what do. I put a lot of money into these PV's and dont want them to be confiscated...

Edit: Well, after watching basilray's vid(couldn't get it to play for the longest time), I definitely feel a ton better about the situation. Just gotta pack in a way to keep the suspicion down to 0. Great advice basilray, thanks so much for making that video, especially since we got some common ground in commuting back and forth to the Philippines.

Glad I could help! I might be headed back myself in Jan or Feb! Would be a great time to get out of Minnesota!

Great to hear, basilray! I'm leaving the day after XMAS and coming back beginning of Feb. Get to finally see my fiancee and meet her family. It's gonna be a wild trip! It's so cool because almost all of her friends are so curious about my PVs and they all wanna try them! Maybe I can exercise my conversion powers internationally!

I got back from a 3-week vacation in the Philippines just two weeks ago. Delta Airlines has a note in their magazine that smoking is prohibited, and that includes e-cigs. Nevertheless, I feel it's better to "ask forgiveness rather than ask permission," so I vaped the entire way, but discreetly. When I vaped, I would exhale into the blanket they give you, and no one gave me any problems. When they turned the cabin lights down, it was really easy to stealth vape.

I spent most of my time in and around Davao, which is in the southern Philippines. People were frequently questioning me on what was that thing I was sucking on. Sometimes, when I vaped in restaurants or taxis, I would be told "no smoking," but when I told them I was not smoking, just inhaling vapor, they always just said, "Oh, okay."

If you get a chance, visit the out-of-the-way provinces. I spent a lot of time in my wife's home town, Nabunturan, which was very nice and restful.

I'm actually gonna be in Manila for only few days then I'm going to Tacloban City where my Fiancee and her family lives. It's in the Visayas in the Leyte province. Yea I plan to stealth vape mostly in the bathroom but your night time scenario with the blanket would be something I'd probably do. Thanks for the tip!
