Cathay Pacific, mods in check in baggage and batteries in carry on?

Check in baggage as in when you get it after the flight

Sounds right.

You might want to place all your gear in your carry on just to be sure.

I believe the consensus is mods on carry on (empty tanks first) batteries in silicone holders, on carry on. If you need to put e-liquid in baggage then make sure to put in ziplock bags in case of leakage during flight, but a fair amount of eliquid can be brought on carry on (I'd check your ingoing and outgoing flight airport rules to find out how much eliquid and stored in what fashion to be absolutely certain.

Mods should really be in carry on if possible as a)baggage handlers can be fairly rough with items and it's better for the electronics to stay pressurized and etc. So, unless you are bringing a huge selection of mods, carryon would be the way to go, I think.

Good luck and happy travels

Thanks, but I really want to put the Mkds in the check in bag though

 

[smacuser]

As long as it's not your nicest mod. Not all bag handlers are honest.

 

[Jogjakd]

Well even if its in the check in luggage, not the carry on

If that's your preference, you can. Keep in mind that you will have no real control over what happens to them once you check them in. To be fair, I don't think I've ever travelled where my baggage was TOTALLY lost, but I have had it sent somewhere else mistakenly and I'd hate to try and buy new gear or start smoking for a few days. It's annoying enough to have to buy toiletries and underwear and whatnot. Anything I want to be certain is under MY control goes in my carryon and that would include mods.

But, it's not PROHIBITED to put them in the checked luggage, although batteries certainly would be.

Correct. When flying, I always have my most beloved possessions right next to me, including my wife and kids.

So soundsL8ke it should be fine as Long as the batteries are Not in the checked luggage

 

[stols001]

Yes. Unless one of the many listed things in the posts above happen, in which case things will likely Not be Fine. But, it is totally up to you and your preferences, and your doing so will endanger no one but (probably very unlikely but it could happen) your mods and equipment. If you are prepared to replace them, then 100% fine.

If you search for "electronic cigarette" on their website, it will explain everything.

Good luck and safe travels.

I would have my mod and batts in my carry on always. Want if you want to vape while waiting on the checked luggage to eventually show up?
