I m so addicted to my vaping here are some of my thoughts. I am so worried that my stash is going to get confiscated by Tsa lol, not sure if I should pack my back up in my checkin luggage or bring both with me but worried if it fails or leaks out (have a problem with this) I won't have anything to fall back on. not sure if I am going to make it on a 7 hour flight without vaping and have even thought about getting some patches or gum for the flight. So what is your experiences?

Need help from former MFS (MyFreedomSmokes) customers
Has any found a supplier or company that has tobacco e-juice like or very similar to MFS Turbosmog, Tall Paul, or Red Luck?

I just threw my gear securely and safely in my check in bag. Im not quite sure if they will let you take it in your carry on.
I just traveled with two volcano Magmas in my purse with no problems. Didn't vape on the plane, though. Check out these threads for lots more info: Travel and E-Cig
Good luck and safe travels!

I just flew last week with a poop ton of juice, and had no problems with my carry on. I threw about 180 ml of juice ( in 30 ml bottles) into my quart sized bag. Everything was fine. There is NO WAY IN HEAVEN that I would EVER put my ejuice in my checked bag. People get into those things ALL the time and just take what they like.
Edit: I should say I had no issues taking my juice on carry on. I was vaguely questioned about my ecig and batteries ( I took a vamo, 4 18650 batteries, and 1 650 mah ego battery. This questioning was not super intense or anything now that I look back on it, and it was entirely my fault by not pulling my stuff separately into the bins correctly. They never asked me once about my ejuice.)

I flew to Vegas in march and brought a couple ego twists and clearos. Brought a couple 10ml bottles of juice as well. Bring them as carry on. Put your juice in a ziplock bag with rest of liquids. As for the device I just had them in my pocket and put them in the tray with my change and cell phone. TSA didn't even look twice no issues whatsoever.
As for the flight I vaped very stealthily inhaled the vape then inhaled again to make sure no vapor came out. Never got caught but if I was to fly again soon I would bring some gum or a patch as you can be kicked off a flight and fined for smoking.

PS: I did not vape on the flight at all. I'm not willing to risk being cuffed by an air marshal at all. That's just way too risky in today's climate.
I carry lozenges just in case I have trouble stealth vaping. Do NOT vape in a security line! If you're going to stealth vape in the airport, wait until you're someplace facing away from people or buy a really hot cup of coffee and exhale into it. I've seen Heathrow airport security confiscate a PV for actively vaping in line in a no-smoking airport. Otherwise, I follow the rules for liquids and for batteries (not too many)
Damn this is good to know. I read somewhere that they could take e-cig devices away if carried on, I guess like they always say dont believe everything you read on the internet! lol
I went through the Corpus Christi, TX TSA a couple of times with a Precise plus and small juice bottles without incident. I always get secondary screening because my bag has a ton of pockets and it is always packed full. I just explained to the TSA agent that it was a personal vaporizer and they had no problem with it. CC is a good bellweather because it is a really low traffic airport and the TSA folks there are usually bored out of their minds, so they are extra thorough with their searches.
The TSA knows about e-cigs. They get briefings when 'new' products like this come on the market. That being said, however, for my next trip in a couple months- involving 3 airports going and 2 coming back- Amsterdam being one of them- which has very strict security, I'll take empty tanks, put them in my checked bag, a couple in my carryon, smoke juice in original labeled containers- again some checked and some in my carry on in the quart bag, and some cartos. I vaped cartos on the last trip in the bathrooms of airplanes, with no problems. Not sure if the tanks would create too much vapor and set off the detectors.
took all my gear carry on with no problem but i didn't vape on the plane. my wife did lol
Flew to Taiwan a couple months ago. Juice in bottles (under 3.49 ounces) in a 1 qt ziplock bag. Batteries, treat like any other li-ion battery. If asked, just tell them exactly what it is. LAX had no issues. and neither did Taiwan.
Frequent traveler here. Batteries should NEVER go into checked luggage. Always put them in your carry on. Liquids in one (1) ziplock baggie. PV leave out where security can easily see and identify it. I lay it on my purse in the bin.
Smaller airports may not have knowledge about all the different devices but they figure it out pretty quickly. The worse I've had happen is they swabbed the outside of my nova to test for explosive liquids. No big deal. That was months and many flights ago.
What airports are you using? Some of us may have traveled through them and can let you know specifically if we know of that airport.
I have vaped in airports but never blowing huge clouds. Not stealth, just very respectful of those around me. Don't look around to see if anyone is watching you or you will look suspicious.
If you act like you are doing something wrong, you Will be perceived as doing something wrong. Do not vape in lines, that is not a respectful action.
As for in flight vaping.... I will let others chime in on that particular topic.

One more thing. Certain airports- like Amsterdam and Prague prefer you put all of your electronic carry-on devices in a ziplock bag, and place them in a bin. I do this now with chargers, batteries and cords- even if airports I have been to previously don't require this. Saves time if they do. A mess of cords, batteries and chargers have gotten my carry-on bag checked several times. I would just check it all, but don't want to risk my bag getting misplaced and not having said items for a day or more.
I use 4mg nicotine gum during long flights. Available over the counter at any drug store. 4mg gum is actually pretty strong compared to using 18mg nicotine vapor. Follow the included instructions for correct chewing technique.
Thanks y'all. I will be flying from GPT to Seattle, then to San Francisco with stops in Houston and lax
I've not flown through those but they are larger airports and have a better knowledge of ecigs.
I've had no issues with flying other then tanks leaking. Also I've been in and out of Houston you'll have no issues no worries.

I flew from Minneapolis to Orlando, FL two weeks ago. I was super paranoid about my ecig gear and liquids. I put liquid in a baggie in my checked luggage, along with an eGo case with a few eGos and supplies. For my carry on, I had two 10ml refill bottles, my eRoll w/ 3 batts, and a case of filled cartridges. I also had two 808 cig sized w/ two mostly empty G6 mini tanks. I had absolutely no issues getting through security with this set up, I put my case of cartridges along with my liquid in my baggie. I did find that the G6 mini tanks lost all their liquid during the flight due to air pressure - definitely don't brink clearos, CE4's etc with you filled. One of my bottles in my carry on opened up (needle tip w/ cover) and leaked some in my bag, but it was OK as I had put my liquids in a baggie first.
I did vape on the plane via super stealth w/ my eRoll.
I did have a hassle at security, but not for my ecigs - I made the mistake of putting two laptops in the same container, got delayed about 15 minutes for that
