I am wondering what would happen in the opposite scenario, where you are coming to Singapore from another country and bring a personal use PV. If they find will they just take it, or will they take it, and take you away as well? I don't want to use analogues when I go there, but I don't want to get in trouble with the law either.

Hi All,

I have an unusual experience today. Before I start, have you guys ever brought your PV overseas before? Especially from Singapore? This is my first overseas trip with my mini pipe/RS888/Lady pipe.

Today, I was at the airport. I do not have any check-in luggage since it is a few days trip meaning my luggages are hand carried to the cabin. I know liquids must be small quantities <100ml in a transparent ziploc bags, no sharp tools like scissors etc. I only have my laptop backpack and my clothing bags. Normally, only before boarding at the gate, there will be scanning device/x-ray and passing through the metal detector door.

Before check-in:
This morning, after getting my ticket and upon entering the departure area, just before the immigration, I was told to scan my 2 bags. I comply. My mini pipe was in my laptop bag btw. My juice in my other bag along with other toiletries stuffs. When it passes through the scanner, I noticed the 2 officers were having some conversation about my contents but did not stop me at that moment.I saw the funny faces they made. I went through with the immigration process and proceeded to my gate.

Boarding gate:
At the boarding gate, this is where we are supposed to go through the actual scanner/x-ray and through the metal detector door. As per normal flying procedure, I removed my laptop from the bag, my handphone and my watch and they went through the scanner. I was then told to walk through the metal detector door. It did not ring/sound an alarm but I was told to stand at a corner which then an officer scan me through my body with the handy metal detector. I was told to remove my belt (metal buckle), my name was mentioned over the radio / walkie talkies. I've guessed from the earlier scan. Same thing, few officers were giving me a wary looking look when they look through the contents of my bag from the scanning machine's vision. "Are these your belongings, Sir?" asked a lady officer. "Yes", I replied. "Can you move over here, please so that we can check the contents of your items in the bag!".

After inspecting me..My body.. they wanna check my bags. I was brought to a corner where they asked me to remove the items from my bag..Not all, thank god. At this moment I thought I'm gonna get stuck!
"Is there any electronic items, wires.." asked by another officer. "Yes, my laptop adapter, CD's.." I replied. What they did was to swipe my items, including my shoes with a large litmus paper or something like that and put it into another machine...Maybe to detect some other stuffs like gun powder/drug or who knows...

The machine readout was "PASSED"... "Sorry Sir to take much of your time".. said the officer. An indian officer was puzzled as he was circling around me looking for any suspicious items or movements that I might make... As I was putting my stuffs into my bags, he has a list of something (names/items/?) I cannot see much details but he circled out or strike off or something like that and I made my way to the waiting area...What a relief!

It could be the contents of the nicotine juice (15ml 18mg vanilla) or the atomizer from the pipe (heat residual due to vaping) that might trigger the thorough inspection but can't really point out..as yet.

Anyway, that was my first experience with a PV out of the country..What about later when I in-bound in a few days? What will be the outcome...?
Just wait and see..But for now, I'm vaping this baby overseas... :D

I know it's a bit long but it was an experience for me...Thank you for reading and vape on... :cool:

Regards,
Jay

Hi all, i being using the device for quite some time, Bringing in/out of Malaysia no problem, they don't even bother.
I have even bring my eGo oversea on the plane out of singapore and i just slip it in my Backpack, it went thru the scanner successfully. as for the liquid, i just slip them with my facial liquid etc. Well all in all is for Personal usage, they don't care so much. as the at the checkpoint, they are more worry about u bringing in/out Sharp object, dangerous object and Tobacco cigarette.

Well normally i order about 3-4 sets for my friends etc so that i get more discount and arrivals around 7-14 working days and depends sometime there or here delays( u know things do have some cord up.) well at least it reach me within the longest 14days wait. but if it don;'t than i will find him to check. btw, don't mention the discount % amount here, it will be good that you keep it to yourself as this is you and him, hence i think that will be better.

Hi guys
It took me a full 45 mins to read this thread boy was it a good morning read besides reading my daily email. I think you guys are great. I have been off analogs for the last 8 days or so. My sense of taste and smell has return and everything is delicious now. Anyway just wrote in to say hello and thanks for the great read. And Zeroi, thanks for your advice.
