No. Not at all. When you travel with your vaping stuff, you have to plan ahead. I had a vest made and in the vest it has straps for 12 red 18650 batteries and two chargers. I tape them together using wire so I don't lose one. There is a space on the front of the vest where I can attach a digital clock that beeps and is counting down to my take off time. It's a good luck piece for me because very time I take off my coat in the security line, the line just clears out and I walk right to my plane. Then it's just the wait for the plane to take off because someone caused a disturbance. Some people are tools.

Very funny! But as long as you don't have a snow globe you'll be fine!

Excuse me... I've never traveled with any of my batteries or anything. So I don't want them to snap in my case? I also don't know anything about traveling with them, when I was 14 I set off all the alarms with a hip piercing, so I know what it's like to be held up and taken into a little room! Didn't want that to happen again... Plus this forum is for all questions. I had a question?

No need to be rude, people have actualy suggested better things to me than what I did!


I cordially share my travel skills to make your trip better and get called rude! And I hear ya about the little room but speaking as someone who gets pulled in there all the time, you have to make the best of it. Before you travel, hide little notes and limericks on and in your body. It gives the TSA officers something to find and when it's amusing quotes and/or factoids, it really makes their day.

Don't pack batteries in your checked luggage. Carry them in your carry-on.

All of the other aspect the OP in bagging liquids and tanks is correct. But take all that in your carry on rather than checked. Only once has a TSA agent even said a word about e-cig gear in my carry on. When scanning my bag the TSA guy asked e-cigarettes? I said, Yep. That was it...

If you are taking loose batteries carry them in the proper plastic cases to prevent contact with metal/conductive surface to prevent shorting out.

Li-on batteries are prohibited in checked luggage. They will show up on the x-ray machines... be flagged and removed by the TSA.
