I will be flying next month for the 1st time in 10 years (I used to fly a lot, not so much any more LOL!) and have questions for vapers that fly a lot. I can look up TSA rules and regs, but I know what they say, and what they DO can be 2 different things.
Any one have any problems boarding with their vape gear?
I will not be checking any bags, just a weekend trip, so carry on only. So all the vape I need for the weekend will be going on with me.

I recently flew within Canada so I don't know how relevant this will be.
I made sure all my mod batteries were taped at the ends, and all my e liquids were individually bottled and labeled less than 100 Mls , packed in your liquids bag making sure that the total of all liquids was lless than 1 L. Otherwise I kept my e cig with me, and I had no problems. I was surprised to see that most air security was pretty familiar with them

I just flew from LAX to Dulles in D.C. and had no issues but the TSA did pull out a swab and rub my mod then input the swab in a machine to make sure it had no chemicals or anything on the mod. They did that only from D.C. back to CA. Lax just asked me what it was. I had only the mod in my pocket. The juice and protanks and batteries were all checked, just to make sure they didn't try to take anything from me. I had never seen them use that machine before that they swabbed and ran the test swab through.

I have flown with various vape gear many times, and never had a problem.

But I would suggest keeping your vaping gear out in the open to avoid any delays.
I always put my vaping devices in the bin with my shoes.

The only time I got delayed was the time I forgot to take my Chuck out of my backpack.
They stopped my bag and opened it to see what it was.
