Consensus on E-juice bottles: Checked or Carry On?

[KillFace]

I'm flying from Ottawa to Vancouver next week on Air Canada. Their website mentions Ecigs being fine in carry on, but doesn't say anything about juices.

I'll be gone for about 15 days, so that'll be at least 75mls for me. I usually carry around 9 DCTs of different flavours all the time, so I'd still like to take that many, and a bottle for each flavour (15-30ml bottles).

I'm planning on taking my Provari and batteries in my carry on, but what is the consensus on what I should do with my juice bottles?

Is checking them a risk of security taking them? Is carrying on 9 bottles of juice totalling at least 75 mls going to irk security?

I took a similar kit to France last summer, but I'm not sure if they're going to be weird at the domestic terminal.

Think it's mainly up to you. As long as the bottle(s) are not larger than 100ml, and you have them in a ziplock bag, you'll be good to go. I usually have a small bottle (30ml) in my carry on in case luggage doesn't arrive and you have to wait a day or two, and the rest in my checked luggage.

If you don't need them right away, why not check them?
I would squeeze out a bit of air in each bottle, cap tightly and double bag them in the checked bags. I would also bag the DCTs or carry them empty as the change in presure may cause them to leak. I had one in my shirt pocket on my last flight (1.5 hour) and it leaked. I smelled like Banana Cream for half the day until I could check in to the hotel.

That's what I did when I went to Europe. I had a small bottle in my carry on and the rest checked....Just wondering if domestic terminals in Canada do anything different.

I've always found security for domestic flights a lot more friendly and easy going.

Yup just has to be less than 100 mL and in a Ziploc.

It is easier to carry them on since your checked baggage will get slammed around a bit and it is easier to explain to a tsa agent if they ask rather than having them go through your checked baggage without you. If you're taking a mod take the batteries out when going through security checkpoints, it's just easier. They usually ask me to take apart and show them the mods before going through.

Dont take any prefilled tanks. They will leak and you will be sorry!

Ohhhh going to Canada... no experience on a flight there but I think I heard something mentioned somewhere about Canadian customs not allowing nic juice. Ill see if I can find a link to more info.

Also, keep in mind that you are going to the left coast. If you get separted from your checked bags for a day or two, they have a bunch more B&M stores out there then we do in southern Ontario so you are not totally stuck.

 

[indoorsindica]

Yup.

Dont think you can take it with you into Canada.

 

[KillFace]

Yup.

Dont think you can take it with you into Canada.

I'm already in Canada flying to another part of Canada.

That page only says you can carry on an ecig, but says nothing about juice.....hence why I asked this question.

Nah, the nic juice isn't a problem and hasn't been for quite some time. I'm Canadian and travelling within Canada.

I've made dozens of orders from US juice makers over the last 2 years and never had a single problem.

Generally, there should be no issues. I agree with packing the excess in your checked baggage (making sure it's leak proof) and then hand carrying your immediate supply kit for fix purposes.

Just be careful when going to the can for that stealth vape. Sure hate to read about you in the Globe and Mail after scaring the crew into an emergency landing due to the plumes issuing forth from the loo.

On domestic flights they will barely look at your liquids. You have nothing to worry about. My last flight within canada, they did not even require liquids to be separated. In the usa, I have found the tsa to be completely cool with all eliquids. I usually pack all my filled clearos in a separate bag and they gave actually thanked me for doing that.

I will second what everyone else said above. My folks fly back and forth from the US all the time. Check what you don't need and keep a few small bottles in a bag with your kit. Label them well, and when customs asks you have no tobacco with you. If your juices are properly diluted 36 mg or less they can not do anything to your ejuice.

you smelled amazing then for half the day, banada cream pie is my ADV. maybe i should smear some on myself a cologne??? thanks for great travel tips also.

I keep a bottle on hand, and check the rest. Make sure to seal everything in ziplocs, and try and travel with empty tanks / clearos. I also put a sheet of paper towel in the ziploc to soak up anything that leaks.

This has gotten me to Mexico, Florida, and to both Canadian coasts.

I hope to have no problems on my next trip to Cuba later this month, I will follow the advice given here, I will take with me only a small portion of my juices and the rest I'll put it in bubble wrap inside a Ziploc bag with paper towel then put it in my suitcase,,thanks for the advise

I would also look up the laws of each destination, make sure nothing is banned there etc.

I'm going away in December, and well check the local laws etc of where I'm headed.

No sense landing in a foreign or otherwise jail, lol.

Even ask here if anyone knows exactly and can supply links if possible.

 

[retired1]

A quick search via Google shows they're legal in Cuba. Just can't sell 'em to anyone while you're there.
