Travel and Vaping Can I bring my E-cig to Vegas?

[elu105]

I'm planning a trip to Las Vegas with my friends, this would be my first trip to US.

Just wondering what happens in customs if I bring my E-cig and liquids with me?
It might be a dumb question, but I really don't know what the law says about E-cigs in Nevada and I don't want to spend my holiday in jail.

Customs is one thing, Vegas is another. In virtually all the casinos you can smoke until your lungs burst. They do restrict some areas outside of the casino but certainly inside you can smoke or vape.

I work in a Las Vegas Casino. Don't worry, there are no laws against vaping in Nevada. If there was I would have been in jail months ago.

Are you talking about at the airport? I had a bottle of juice in my pocket and 2 ecigs and a PCC in my wifes purse going through the xray machine here in Vegas. Nobody said anything.

I have been in a few national and international flights with an arsenal of vaping materials in my briefcase and yet another larger arsenal of stuff in my suitcase.
If the batteries are hooked up to your PV the security personnel will see this because the scanner will beep.
Just separate batteries and PV'S.
In Zurich they asked me what it was and i showed them.
They let me pass no problems.
Just don't go through security blowing vapor all over their faces, and you should be ok.

I dont see any issues with customs as they are not illegal to posses. As far as going through airport security just treat the liquid as any other liquid and have it in your plastic bag and you are straight. There is an airline employee on here that travels overseas all the time so Im sure he can give you some pointers for customs if there are any. The only time I have gone through US customs I didnt vape and I knew all the customs officers because I worked in the customs hall all the time so I dont think my experience there counts too much.

I forgot to put my e-liquid in a plastic bag when I went through McCarran's security a week ago. Don't worry about e-cigs. No one cares at McCarran. I vaped at the Wendy's there and at the gate.

this is vegas if it smokes or vapes blaze it ....... I've vaped in the airport here in vegas no problems at all .....

Thanks to everyone for your advice!

I was mainly concerned about taking e-liquid through airport security check.
But it's good to know that using e-cigs is not banned there.

Thanks!

I'd say that you should carry the liquid in the bags that you check that go in the cargo hold on the plane, just so there won't be any extra questions raised. However, years ago (post 9/11) I managed to get a lighter through airport security back when they were illegal, though I didn't try on purpose, so I don't think that they will even notice a little bottle. Heck, they may even think that it's just some kind of eyedropper bottle.

Not exactly. You can't smoke analogs in a bar or tavern that serves food unless it's in a separated air cleaned area. Can't smoke in any restaurant. Basically the only public indoor place you can smoke is a casino or a smoke shop. The airport has smoking lounges where everyone goes to smoke analogs.

There is no reason to check it in the hold. Liquid under 3.4 ounces is fine to go. Just put it in your clear plastic 1qt bag and take it through the security checkpoint.

Good information to know, thanks! I've only had a couple of flights so I couldn't remember all of the specific little things that they require.

Except at the airport! I was very surprised to find it went non-smoking the last time I was thru there (and was still on analogs)

 

[derick]

Yeah that airport ...... me off..spent 30 extra mins on the plane because they said they was short on help on the runway and then it took them 45 more mins to get our bags..Not a good first impression at that airport at all.

 

[Harry Crazington]

Yaa but the airport is controlled by the federal government...don't blame their rules & problems on Vegas!

 

[Blooper]

Therers no more smoking at all inside Mcarran you have to go outside. I smoke sections are now non smoking. There are plenty of bars that still let you smoke. Maybe its just after hours though.
