Good Luck :p I personally wouldn't take any mod device, when I fly I stock up on my smaller friends and a ton of chargers to make it through the days. Especially with all the increased security, I would assume that anything that has in a cylinder tube may be questionable...but than again what do I know, maybe someone has a better suggestion :)

If my reply is a problem because it is posted in the AltSmoke sub-forum please feel free to delete, no hard feelings. ;)

I recently flew with my Protege and my Prodigy v2.

Flying out of JFK I actually put them in the bin with my laptop and cellphone - right out in the open to show: hey, I'm not trying to hide these and I got through no problem. I DID take my cartos off. Wasn't even questioned about them.

Flying back out of Orlando I did the same thing and probably would've gotten through no problem again but I had cartos with my in the bubble like packaging and they actually questioned those and not the PVs themselves :rolleyes:

I explained the cartos went on my "nicotine inhaler" and I was good to go.

Just flew to southern CA and back. BB went in the bin (fully assembled) with my watch and stuff because I was carrying it in my pocket. Additional batteries and stuff were in my carry-on.

I browsed the regs on batteries. I think rechargeable Li-Ion has go in your carry-on and can't be in checked luggage? They suggest you keep batteries with or in the device they're used for. Bottles of juice were in the quart baggy and in my carry-on bag.They didn't bat an eye at anything.

Haha, they did stop the line because the guy behind me had a 50-pack of bulk CDs in his bag :) "There's a huge jar of something in this one. Need a checker over here".

A lot have people have reported no problems flying with the Prodigy and other mods - they're just nicotine inhalers. Put it out in the open and keep small bottles of liquid with your shampoo, etc. At worst you'll have to demonstrate the device.

If you vape in the bathroom make sure all vapor goes into the bowl or you'll have another funny story to tell about the smoke detector going off! 8-o

If you want to be extra careful, bring along a self-addressed, stamped mailer so if you do have a problem you can just mail it back home.

I agree with all of the posts above.....I fly kind of frequently, Once a week sometimes more....I always take my Mods with me..... On few occasions i have been questioned by TSA...And on a few more occasions i was asked to demonstrate how My PV worked......Once i did that, there no more questions and i went trough without a problem.....

There is zero chance it won't get through with you.
There is some small chance that your batteries (rechargeable Li-Ion) won't make it IF you put them in checked luggage. They are approved for carry-on luggage.
There is a good chance you will get told to put it away if you vape on the plane.

Battery powered devices are legal to carry-on with you.
Batteries are legal to carry-on with you.
If your liquid is in 3oz or less sized bottles and they all fit in a quart sized baggie it is legal to carry-on with you. Larger sizes can be in checked luggage.

You could have a problem with your syringe with a 2" needle (cause it's sharp) in your carry-on. It can be in checked luggage.
You could have a problem with your small scissors in your carry-on. It can be in checked luggage.
You could have a problem with the steel 6" needle point tweezers in your carry-on. It can be in checked luggage.

And don't forget. TSA is not DEA or the gang crime cops. They are only worried about you hijacking or blowing up an air plane. They don't really care if you're smuggling illegal drugs or banned sex toys.
