E-cigs and the TSA

[kestrel1940]

Just wondering what kind of experience people have run into going through TSA checkpoints with their e-cigs and in particular any PPC?

Has there been any resistance to carrying them on board with you? Any TSA agents try to confcisate them or not allow them on board?

I've traveled a bit over the last 2 months since I started vaping. So far have not had any issues. Just take stuff out of your carry on and put it in the bin with your computer, shoes or whatever. Had one agent take a second look at my stuff but never question any of it.

I have only flown within the USA and have had no problems with personal possessions or carry on luggage. I put an assembled eGo in the x ray bin along with the plastic bag containing all my liquids as well as my laptop. I have not been asked a single question regarding any of my gear.

I've had no problems with TSA at all. You can check out others' tips, questions, and experiences here: Travel and E-Cig

I have a buddy that is a supervisor at midway and he says that as of now they are allowed. But they have double checked some of them because some look just like a detonater. You can even vape while waiting for your flight at midway not sure about other airports but midway is all good! Now once some jackass scum of the earth p.o.s. tries to use it to ignite something or some stupid yuppie fuc% bicthes to the right person we may be s.o.l.! He actually told me that some yuppie fuc% .....ed to a Chicago cop in the airport about someone using one of those electronic cigarettes and wasn't fair he had to go outside to smoke the cop told him that he should start to use one and quit smoking then!

There is a whole Travel with e-cigarettes section, I think in General Discussion, and it includes lists of vape-friendly airlines etc.
