International Airplane Travel with your Vaping Gear

[pocariboy73]

Just wondering if anybody has ever encountered any kinds of problems when traveling on an airplane with large mods and L-ion batteries (18650) ?

Are they permitted to be brought on board as "carry on", or should they be packed in the bigger suitcases and go on as "checked baggage" in the cargo section of the plane?

Thanks..

Please consult the airline for specific rules.
In general, the american "TSA" guidelines are a good place to start.

Thanks Izan,

That's no doubt the best idea. I'll do just that.

Happy New Years to you...

I'm 100% sure that a certain someone knows from first hand experiences, but intentionally chooses NOT to post as his panties are still in a twist.

Oh well, I reached out with an olive branch, not much else I can do about these kind of people..

I'll let you know soon nwasiq... Don't worry

The only issues I've had are in china where they made me move my batteries to from my suitcase to my hand luggage. Also in places like Singapore, ecigs are illegal (but I got through customs with no issues) and in Malaysia, eliquids containing nicotine are banned. I always carry a couple of small egos/cartos which I have a quick vape on in the toilet.

Nictotine is illegal to have in Queensland so I don't know how I will be able to travel with nic juices in the future

Remove or change the label maybe? That's how we get nicotine juices (or nicotine itself) shipped here in Korea

Ok thanks! Maybe essential oils

Hey Procariboy, there's something that confuses me. WHY is it so easy to get nicotine shipped here? It's just a matter of modifying the labels. Customs and shipping comapnies just trust the senders?

Traveled with it on carry-on no problem. Make sure to empty your tanks though! I had an Orchid erupt on my last flight lol

Since many rules vary by carrier and country; sharing the airline and destination(s) helps to provide a complete answer.

(Unless it's a secret mission, of course. )

I'm going to Saipan via Asian Airlines. Mostly I'm concerned with the batteries. Thesdays, as we know, they have been deemed explosive, so it's been a pain in the .... ordering them from abroad.

Most likely the airline would prefer the batteries within a pressurized surrounding, which means in the cabin! Often things in cargo (under the plane) blow up - such as my shaving cream cans, beer, etc.

In any event, I'm calling them tomorrow. And the answer they provide me I'm not gonna take as "official." My experience with what one person says may be the opposite of another. Even within the same company.

Not sure about the Malaysian part, I shipped tons of eliquids with nicotine from the States and so far none of them confiscated by local customs since I moved here. Also local juice makers here openly sells them without any issue from authorities.

As for Singapore, so far no issues going through their customs ecig with liquid and I travel there at least once a week.

Phoned Asiana Airlines a few days ago and they did not know the answer regarding the official policyy. They promised to phone me back, but have not. I'll ask my Korean wife to try again for me and then let you know.
