can i carry my VV lavatube on an airplane?

[Smokfreedoc]

Hey everyone,

I will be flying this week and this is the first time since I purchased a Vtube. Can I carry this thru airport security? Am I allowed to bring the batteries and accessories with my carry on? ejuice, dct tank etc... please help
I dont want anything confiscated and I dont want to leave them at home..

i carried my ego on international flight, juices just had to be in a ziplock bag. no problems getting through security they didnt even ask questions. just make sure you dont exceed the allowed limit of liquid to be carried on.

 

[Smokfreedoc]

awesome. thanks dude! much appreciated!

This is good to hear, I will be flying out to Delaware this week and am worried about going through TSA with my Ego, some juice, and clearomizer.

Yes...no problem. Please bring any and all batteries with you in your carry on. Batteries are a safety hazard, and have to be where you can attend to them if something bad happens.

First we called the airline, then we put our stuff in clear bags as well as the business card of our local vaping store. There IS a liquid limit per bottle so you might need to check that.

Also don't fill all your fluid holding devices--i.e carto's, tanks, atty's and bottles completely full, as liquid will expand with pressure and could possibly leak everywhere. I would keep your pv and batteries in one plastic bag by itself, and then your tanks and fluids in another bag that is inside of a second bag. Just a precaution to keep everything as clean as possible.

yeh i vaped on a plane but steath did it no probs

I just throw my DCT in a plastic bag with any other juice I have.
I also keep batteries individually wrapped in a separate bag.

I vaped to the Dominican and back no problems, I did however try to keep the vapor to a minimum. I even gave a lady in front of me a puff and she almost choked cause hers wasn't nearly as strong, lol.

 

[Smokfreedoc]

Thanks for all the input, I'll separate my devices and accessories.. Thank god it's only a3hr flight but I'm sure I'm gonna be tempted to vape on the plane.. let's see what happens!

I would call your Airline before you go to the Airport just to make sure.

I wondered about this issue also. I will be flying to vegas at the end of October. I figured I would put all my vape stuff in my checked bag. I was curious if anyone had problems with carry-ons. I'll want all my juice and batteries as I will be there for a week.

I just came back from Vegas, flew out from chicago midway. I had no problems going through security. I took one of my devices with me and dissembled it and put in it's carrying case and had one bottle of e juice in a ziploc bag. I just laid it out in the bin with the rest of my stuff and went through security. I put all my other gear in my checked bag. no problems.

Just flew back on USAir, in the magazine, they specifically state you cannot use ecigs. I had no problem with security at either end (Philadelphia - Minneapolis). I did go into the rest room to vape half way through, blew the vapor into my sweater. Since I am here typing, I didn't get caught. I put my juices into one ziplock bag, the rest of my kit went into my carry on. No problems what so ever.

I've flown several times with gear. Technically you are supposed to carry on all li-ion batteries. They are not supposed to be in checked baggage. I just make sure that everything is separated and in plastic ziplock bags whether it's in my carry on or checked bags (I usually have it in both). I don't vape on the plane BECAUSE I've never had an issue with taking my stuff through security and I want to keep it that way. Nobody hassles you about it right now, but all of these people giggling because they do it onboard are the reason that you will be hassled about taking it in the future. Don't give them a reason to start being a**holes to us.

Don't give them a reason to start being a**holes to us.

What do you mean "start"? I've been in and out of almost every airport in every major city since I started vaping and had no problem until I hit Rapid City, SD. The young guy at the x-ray machine decided I had a knife in my carry on. Turned out to be a disassembled auto battery. Stupid is as stupid does.

Speak to the person at check in before you go through security. I wouldn't do it on a plane unless you are catching a redeye, and even then it may not be worth the fuss depending on your flight length. You dont want to end up on CNN...

I take mine with me in my carryon all the time, security never gives me trouble. I personally wouldn't recommend doing it on a plane unless you are keeping vapor to a minimum and are generally out of sight.

 

[CoastalFog]

I will not vape on a plane there is just to much chance of raising an issue. For flights greater than five hours I use Swedish Snus.

^This is a good point, I had liquid in both of my clearo's, both leaked a couple drops into the mouthpiece. I flew into Philadelphia through Detroit from Grand Rapids Last week Wednesday. I was super nervous going through security, had my ego in the box I bought it in with the clearos attached and 2 18mL bottles of liquid in a separate baggy that I laid out in the tub with my shoes and stuff. Lady asked if that was it, told her yes and went the rest of the way through security without and issue, officers never even batted an eye at me after that. I'll see what the people at PHL do next week Monday when I go to fly back.
