My FSUSA family

[div]

In my time of need, I am reaching out to you's, if this is upsetting, I am sorry in advance.
My sister Angie passed away this morning and my mind is in a whirl. I am traveling to Colorado and for the life of me I don't know how to pack my pv to get thru the airport. Bag or carryon? I tried to read the forum travel tips and it's a blur. Can you give me ideas how to do this if you had experience in this? Trying for Burbank airport (cheaper than LAX, less congested). Last thing I need is tsa telling me I can't travel with my pv since it hasn't left my hands..well since.
Thanks

condolences on your loss. I travel alot. tsa does not care. throw your pv and a 3ml bottle of juice in with your keys and wallet and change. keep an extra couple of bottles of juice in your carry-on along with a spare battery or two. when you vape on the plane keep it to yourself. do not blow vape in the air and scare others. you will be fine. Prayers from Pam and I...

Oh div, I am very sorry for your loss. Please know that you will be in my thoughts.

I agree fully with David on the pv. I have traveled and only the batteries brought attention, and once I told them batts they didn't question it further. Keep in mind, all Li-ion batteries must be brought in carry on only. they can not travel through checked baggage. The way they look at is, because of possibilty of these batts over heating and possibly catching fire, it is safer in the cabin where people can control the fire instead of in the baggage hold where no one would see a fire until too late.

please accept my condolences for your loss

Thank you soooo soooo much.

Does my pv need to be in a plastic bag, though I heard that somewhere. And most likely I'll be in the bathroom if I need to vape.

Being Australian I can't comment in tsa, but I just want to send you all of my love. I am so sorry.

You will be in my thoughts sweetie.

I'm so sorry div. My thoughts and prayers are with you and you're family. I'm sending you a big virtual hug.

Div - I'm so sorry. You can carry your pv in your purse. I usually put it in a ziploc bag to be on the safe side. I also put cartos and a small bottle of juice (10 ml.) in a separate ziplock bag. I put all other liquids in a ziplock bag in my suitcase.

Hugs and be strong.

I am sorry to hear about your loss. In reality she has just left her human body and her energy, her conciousness is still alive. She is continuing her journey to a higher vibration and dimension...A higher conciousness. It's the same journey we are all on, she will be fine as will you. She has not left you. Just be strong and think of her often with happiness and love and she will be there...Hugs

Sorry you lost your sister. Safe travels.


Last cigarette 16th October, 2011. Forever grateful for the support and advice from ECF.

Div, sorry to hear about your loss. She's smiling down on you for sure. Keep your chin up.

I had no issues bringing my PV, 2 spare batteries, 2 carto's and 3 10ml bottles of juice in my carry on. I did put them all in a plastic ziploc bag, just in case.

 

[div]

Getting it all separated and packed today. Leaving in the morning and hope I have enough clothes layers for Colorado weather.
From my heart, thank you so much.
hugs

 

[mauisun]

hugs back at you

 

[div]

have layover in Phoenix, but half hour worth. If I was driving I would have liked to make a pitstop over there mauisun. Another time under better circumstances.

 

[div]

burbank airport encouraged my vaping in the open...go fig. tsa and attendents said go ahead.

 

[maureengill]

That's awesome Div....I'm sure that helped with your stress levels too....hope you're doing okay...keep in touch girlie...

 

[mauisun]

glad to see tsa is waking up. folks vaping on planes, as long as they keep it to themselves, is a good thing. I would rather have a smoker vaping on a long flight then no nicotine at all

 

[div]

layover in phoenix was brief like 1 minute I left one gate to board the next two spots over right away. Didn't even vape on the plane. But it did feel welcomed in burbank airport to vape in the open. Now once I got to denver though I wanted to be outside! But one tsa was very nice and told me she really didn't know, but didn't imagine a prob with it.
My Mom is good with it inside her place, but sometimes I want to be outside and see the snow on the mountains on Pikes Peak. Colorado Springs is very beautiful.
