If you are bringing an APV with replaceable batteries I'd put the spares in a battery case of some type and in your checked baggage, leaving just the one battery in the device you are bringing with you.

Ummmm no. According to DOT regulations you aren't supposed to put Li-Ion batteries in checked luggage. Put them in cases and carry them on.

Here are my rules for air travel.

• Cherished mods get checked. You never know when a TSA agent is going to be overzealous. Carry on an ego or two. They are cheap and easily replaced.
• Li-Ion batteries need to be in plastic cases and carried on.
• Carry on juice is just like any other liquid and needs to be out in the open. Hand labeled DIY isn't a problem in 6 ml bottles.
• The bulk of your juice should be checked. Wrap it in paper towels and put it in a ziploc bag. The reduction in air pressure can make it seep a bit. The same holds true for drives through mountainous areas BTW.
• I've never had a problem vaping in an airport but, if you can't do it comfortably minding your own business, don't. Don't use anything that looks like a cigarette either.
• It's against DOT regulations to vape on the plane. If you're discrete and hold it in a bit to kill the vapor, you probably won't have a problem doing it. I never have but, if you choose to do it, it's on you.

The only incident I've had doing this is one time while I was going through security the woman at the x-ray held up my ego and asked what it was. I told her an e-cigarette. She nodded and put it back in the bin.

I stand corrected, and I looked it up to make sure: Safe Travel

It seems that TSA/DOT and customs need to get on the same page. What I said is exactly what customs told us to do when returning from Afghanistan in May of this year.

A TSA guy told me TSA people love to vape so they can in the airport

Vaping in the bathroom on the plane rocks!

I had one flight that blew out 2-3 of my 808ds with the pressure not sure how that happened...

If you have the cash and want to be really squared away send a spare pack to the hotel concierge first--in case

Or order up a back up pack from a good US vendor say 3-4 days out and have it sent over to your hotel and notify the concierge to expect it... If you're spending a ton on air tickets and hotels, a $30 back up could mean the difference between a great trip or a disaster...

Or post for a brick and mortar place in Vegas or note the places that will express things over next day.

A 1100 Ego, charger and some juices/cartos from Tom (he ships fast) waiting for you at the hotel could be a trip saving investment... For like $30

Be prepared!

Last time I flew I had all my ecig supplies in an old ecig box in my carry on with a 6ml bottle and a business card from the vendor. Made it through McCarran and JFK no issues. Have fun while you're here and don't forget to drink water!
