We like to visit Sault Ste. Marie Ontario by way of Sault Ste. Marie Michigan once or twice a year and I'm wondering how customs on both sides view our equipment and e liquids? I know how they handle booze, beer and cigarettes but don't want my vape gear confiscated. I don't plan on taking a gallon of liquid with me but rather just a weekends worth of nicotine juice.

    I too was born in Canada, but live in the US. I've always had to laugh crossing the border. Canada always wants to know what you're bringing into the country, and the US just wants to know if that's your wife in the car with you. (oh and, the US has never figured out that a citizenship certificate is something you hang on the wall ... not carry in your wallet) So the passport rule has actually made getting back into the US easier for some of us.

    When you get to the Canadian boarder patrol, just dangle an extra set of shiny keys and say "Awe, who's a good Canadian? huh? Who's good Canadian? You're a good Canadian!!!" Then tickle their stomach. Do that and they won't care what you bring with you. One time I slipped a dead ...... and a llama past them with that one.

    a.) them shiny keys are super fun!

    b.) both the ...... and the llama would have been dead.

    other than that...it was very sage advice.

    Thanks guys. I have the "enhanced" drivers license so I don't need my passport. I normally just get a couple cases of real beer but the Soo now has a vape shop I might want to check out. For some reason I have been searched more on the American side. I'll try not to fill the car with mighty clouds of vapor at the check point. lol
