Flying With Juice???

[Luma]

I am going away for a month and need to take as much juice as I can with me.

I am flying JetBlue. How many bottles of 20ml juice can I take? I have googled but cant seem to find a definitive answer on liquid amount.

You think 20 carts and 2 20ml bottles will be enough for a month? I vape 2 carts a day. 3 on heavy vape days.

3-1-1 for carry-ons = 3.4 ounce (100ml) bottle or less (by volume) ; 1 quart-sized, clear, plastic, zip-top bag; 1 bag per passenger placed in screening bin. One-quart bag per person limits the total liquid volume each traveler can bring. 3.4 ounce (100ml) container size is a security measure.

Consolidate bottles into one bag and X-ray separately to speed screening.

Be prepared. Each time TSA searches a carry-on it slows down the line. Practicing 3-1-1 will ensure a faster and easier checkpoint experience.

3-1-1 is for short trips. If in doubt, put your liquids in checked luggage.

Declare larger liquids. Medications, baby formula and food, and breast milk are allowed in reasonable quantities exceeding three ounces and are not required to be in the zip-top bag. Declare these items for inspection at the checkpoint.

Don't quote me on it but I think I've seen it said that each cart holds approx. 1 - 1.5 ml. So 40 ml would fill approx. 30 carts. so that and the original 20 carts would only give you 50 carts for 30 days falling short of the 60 or more you would need at 2-3 per day for a month.

I always put my bottles in my suitcase, and carry a couple small ones in a plastic bag. Carts you can just put in your case in your carry on. I had no problems getting through security. I packed enough for 3 months when I went for 10 days, crazy.

Thyestean won't let me quote, so I won't. I've never gotten a whole milliliter in a cartomizer without overfilling it; more like .8. So 20ml would get you 25 cartos, or thereabouts.

 

[Thyestean]

ahh good to know. I've never really paid attention to how many cartos I manage to fill out of a single bottle of liquid, just remember seeing that in one of the threads.

For carry on luggage, no containers larger than 100ml, all containers must fit within a single 1 quart bag. Just to be on the safe side, I would include carts in with the liquids but you can fit a ton of them into that bag

For checked baggage there is no limitation, you can take as much liquid as you want.

I just got back from Phoenix for a week's stay. I had the quart bag packed full of all size bottles of liquid. I was careful to stay under the 3oz. size per bottle max. I had no problems with security at all. Detroit Metro, Chicago Midway and Phoenix......all these checkpoints and they all didn't even look twice at them.

Totally off topic, but love your signature!!!

 

[leaford]

Yep, 3 bottles in one ziplock. No problems with security. And don't worry about the cartridges, they have no idea that they contain liquid. Unless you tell them, so SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!

 

[resonator]

Nice, Leaford. I wonder if this means you could store several filled cartomizers in a carry-on bag and not have to go through the trouble of putting them in the 1oz ziplock baggie.

I couldn't even BEGIN to guess how many carts I had in my carry on. Dozens to say the least.

Thank you DawnFox............God is most certainly great, LaBatt Blue Light is most certainly good, and my gosh, PEOPLE ARE CRAZY................my favorite song..............now if someone would give ME a million bucks, I would not think they were crazy....lol....I would think that they knew I would spend it with reckless abandonment to enjoy the rest of my life....lol.....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I should also add that batteries aren't any problem in carry on. But I believe FAA/TSA regs don't allow them in checked luggage.

Leaford I think that's because the push button on the manual battery can get stuck and ignite.

Scary stuff.
How can the FAA/TSA ever figure all that out?
I want to say we should be responsible for what we pack in our suitcases and not put any one's life in danger.

 

[leaford]

No, Emberl, nothing specific to e-cigs, that's just the regs for li-ion batteries in general. They're only allowed in carry-ons, unless they are integrated into a device. Ours might qualify as integrated batteries, but I figure it's best just to treat them as if they don't.
