Can ecigs and eliquids be allowed in luggage or purse on airplanes?

[JMC]

I'm taking a short airplane trip from californa to arizona and was wondering if there is a ban traveling with ecigs and juice. Not planning at all on vaping on the way. Just wondering what might be expected when going through the scan area. I have a "go go" ecig and is semi large. Will they think its a bomb? Or eliquid a hazzard? Should I disassemble it and pack it in its original case? I would hate the thought of it being taken away or something happening to me. And I would not have to end upon my destination buying the real cigs and smoking again! Am I just making a big deal out of this?

Hi, I flew out of Phoenix about a month ago with an e-cig (not a good one, unfortunately, but I got better) and had no problems with TSA. I had it in my laptop bag, maybe being situated with other electronics helps.

If you are carrying a bottle of liquid, just put it into the quart size bag that is holding your other liquids. I've done that many times with no problem.

JMC there are many posts on this topic. Liquids in your 3-1-1 clear TSA approved baggie and batts in your computer bag or carry on. I fly all over the world and have done this many many times. I also carry a SASE envelope in case any security agent decides they want to change the rules at any given momement.

I don't travel much. What is a 3-1-1 clear TSA approved baggie and a SASE envelope?

I had no problem with my GGTS, which looks nothing like a cigarette or e-cig.

Sorry JMC:

3-1-1 is short for 3 ozs or less of a single liquid in a 1 quart baggie, 1 baggie per traveller. Baggie must be clear and you must be able to ziplock it shut. So you could bring toothpaste small travel size shampoo, condintioner etc and a few 30ml bottles of juice without a problem. Baggie must be removed from carry on and placed in a seperate bin while going through screening

SASE = self addressed stamped envelope

Hope that helps

Thanks for all the help! I'm not so worried now.

What if I wanted to travel with say 1070ml bottle of liquid to last for months?

3 ounces is 88.7 ml. So that's the largest size bottle that can go in your quart baggie. I've traveled with a few 60 ml bottles in mine.

3 oz to ml - Google Search

You can take as many bottles at or under that 3 ounce limit as will fit in one baggie, and that is several, but I doubt you could fit 12 or so, which is what you'd need to hold that much total.

But, this is only for carry-on baggage. You can always pack more liquid in checked luggage.

UPS it to your destination

I do hope you're kidding around Butastew. That much liquid would last me for several years!

Pad it really well and put it in a checked bag. I do it with wine often.

I fly continously across the US and out.
I carry 2 chucks, twenty 801 atty's and five 10ml bottles of liquid, and twelve 3.7v batts, with me on my carry on at all times.
Tsa check it every time, and when i tell them its e cig stuff, they let me pass no problems.
Included in my carry on, is a tekkeon powerpack and a puresmoker passthrough.

My suitcase contains additional batteries, atty's and liquid.

How to vape on a plane?
I will have to write a book of secrets.

Not a joke, im a dripper that goes through 10ml in about 4 days. I really do have a 1070ml jug of PG RY4 24mg nicotine liquid in my fridge. Got it for $80 from China =p

When/if prices get reasonable in the US Ill get it local.

For those who say its unsafe from China, you got it backwards. Check youtube ecig industries in China and see their very high tech clean labs with level A suits and air lock doors. Meanwhile people in the US order liquid from China and mix it in their dirty basement.

So what will I do when I go on an over seas trip for 6+ months =(

I did this recently with a bunch of random stuff I didn't want to take through security. Just Fed Ex'd it to my hotel. No strange looks at the front desk or anything; such is a lot more common since 9/11 and esp after the other near-misses where they clamped down even further.

Even using that much, 1070ml would last more than a year (or 30-120 minutes in a haunted house fog machine).

Was on an extended trip overseas recently. I did everything in triplicate. 1 set with me, 1 set in checked baggage and 1 set mailed in advance. In addition, I made certain that I had enough liquid checked in and mailed to cover my entire trip. Also, checked out local suppliers (over internet, in advance) at my destination so as to have yet another option in the event something went wrong.

I've carried quite a lot with me without problem. Most that ever happened is them inspecting a bunch of pcc's forever before asking me what they are. Once I tell them they're more just curious why I have so much.
