I'm flying soon from UK to Portugal. I'm aware I must take batteries in hand luggage, and my clearos empty, but it is best to take my eliquids in their original bottles with ingredients listed and a warning that it is poisonous, or should I decant them into plain, unlabelled bottles? Would my eliquid be OK in my checked baggage, or could it be affected by pressure changes or freezing?

How many ego batteries can I take without looking like a terrorist? Would 4 be OK , or should I stick to just 2?
Do batteries need to be packed in a particular way?

I'm only away for the weekend, but don't want to risk going back to smoking!

Not familiar with Portugal, but I do stop over at Heathrow quite often, no problems so far. I put my eliquids in a sealed ziplock bag, in small bottles of 30cc or less as it is required with all liquids and never had a problem.
4 ego batteries should not be a problem, any laptop have way more battery capacity than 4 egos, but always check your local regulations just in case.
A couple weeks ago I traveled from Munich to Heathrow, heading back to the US, the German police detected my shark DNA30 and provary plus 2 PTs and a Kayfun inside my carry on bag with the xray, they knew it was ecigarettes but asked me to show it to them anywasy, I did as they asked and that was it, no problem.

Thanks JaRod,

I've actually been and returned from Portugal 2 weeks ago now! It all went smoothly, and I wasn't tempted by the very low cost of cigarettes in Portugal!

I took 2 ego batteries and one EVOD clearo in my hand luggage, and one 5ml bottle of eliquid in a ziplock bag. One more clearo, 2 spare coils and more eliquid in my checked luggage. Security did not bat an eyelid at either end of my journey.
