Getting pass Airport security and custom with my PV.

[samo50sg]

Having just recently got my PV, I was adamant not to lose it to customs and security.
Went to a local engraver and had "HEALTHcabin" tattoed on the batts and attys.

Got to the scanners and got pull aside. (Security are notorious where Im from). Pulled out the PV batts,attys and cartridge all attached) which i was sure what trigered the check. Made sure my finger was pointing to the "HEALTHcabin" tattoo and told him " Its a new devise to help in quitting smoking.. supposedly a healthier alternative cuz its vapor..not smoke". The 2 officers were absolutely fascinated with it, waved me on with a smile. Not too sure if they knew what ecigs were...

Tot I'll share my mischief.

This IS in Singapore...lol. Wanted to engrave Otto but was afraid it would violate other laws. I was travelling out though..

Love this story! Totally agree with you samo50sg, Changi has some of the worst (biggest PIA) security in the world (though not the worst, that's any US airport for sure). I try to avoid both airports as much as I possibly can. My first run through with PV was last month, I took 3 ego batteries, ego booster and 6 filled cartos through. Had it around my neck and in a Ego PCC and put it in the basket with my pocket tax (phones, change, etc), watch and belt and sent it through. The guy gave me a good stare as I was waiting for it all to come through but then he looked away. I breathed a big sigh of relief.

I've taken many different PV's through many US airports and I've never been questioned about them.

The last time I went through TSA, I got pulled aside. Not for the 3 different aluminum/stainless steel mods, but for the ego battery... go figure...

When it comes to Singapore Customs, I prefer to be just straightforward rather than dismantling the whole PV and risk letting the officials assemble it back. Chances are, these guys already know whats in your bag (x-rays when bags in transit, profiling,etc..) Thats me though...

If Pfizer manufactured PVs with their logo on it... pretty sure I will be able to vape and walk thru the scanner at the same time..

Isn't it sad that Singapore bans e-cigs? Packs are just so expensive there like $9.40 USD for a pack of 20

Good to hear that they have been able to get through US Airport security without issue. I occasionally have to travel and was curious

 

[craftylady6]

what about e juice? should they go in the luggage? I'm flying, maybe, out of the country and this is something I was wondering about.

 

[samo50sg]

thats gotta be for some huge mod...lol..

Not too sure abt others but I have a travelling 30ml eye dropper bottle from the pharmacist cleaned out and replaced with juice for short trip and a Spare 60ml empty Regaine dropper bottle available for long trips. Personally, I wun carry on bottled liquids to avoid hassle of being stopped.

Put my VOLT in my sandwich size plastic zip bag with my ink pen, Sharpie and pocket change, went thru no problem.
My brother has done the same with his home made MOD and 10 mil bottles without any issues.
