^^^^ correct. no batteries can go in cargo area on planes. Must be carry on.
I always use battery cases (of course!). For about $1 each, I don't understand why anyone wouldn't but I guess there are some. LOL
Liquid goes in the liquid baggies with your other stuff like shampoo, etc.
Have fun in Spain.

Bit of a conflict here. for the past few years, when i have travelled from manchester england, i have always put my spare batteries including charger in the cargo, and just took one of my mods in my carry on. Never, Ever, had any problems.
According to most Airline websites all lithium batteries and that includes eGo style MUST be in carry on luggage, loose batteries must be isolated, either by being in plastic battery boxes or having their terminals taped over with insulating tape. This is because if they do accidently catch fire then the onboard crew can use a fire extinguisher to put them out and therefore why Lithium batteries are not allowed in the hold and also why firms like FT have problems shipping batteries by air.
eLiquids, chargers and empty mods/tubes can go in checked luggage, but make sure liquids are in sealable plastic bags in case they leak, also don't fill clearos/tanks right up, leave some air as the change in air pressure can make them leak.

I have flown to Europe and come back today. No problems at all carrying multiple ecigs and batteries in my hand luggage.
Some of my liquids were in my hold suitcase, but nothing else. On the way out, they got a good looking-over from the team at the airport.
Lithium batteries in the hold, regardless of "legality" would be a bad idea, as Bob says. The whole point of carrying them in hand luggage is to deal with the tiny chance of a problem. I had a pair in a case, one in each of my mods and two "VV eGo" types.

Another reason why I put my supplies in my carry-on is that I am right there....so nothing can be stolen once you hand your baggage over to be checked.....never know who's going to go thru your bag when not looking.
