There is no problem carrying them with you. Your batteries should be in plastic cases on your carry on. They don't want batteries in checked luggage. Put the juice in a baggie.
should I take all my juice with me as carry-on or I can take half and leave other half of the juice(s) in checked luggage? Greatly Appreciated...thanks!!!

Leave all the juice in checked luggage. The liquid laws still apply, you're not allowed to bring more than (I think) 100mL on a plane. Not worth dealing with any hassle "but this is a 90mL bottle, not 100!" etc..

Make sure you double, no.. Triple bag your stuff in your luggage. Change in pressure/temperature may cause some minor leakage if things aren't secured in an air-tight situation.

Wow...guess I'll leave 99% of my juice in checked luggage, and have one or two 15ml juices as carry-on....When I arrive, don't wanna be looking for juice (just in case, haha)....Thanks so much for your help... so guess I'll take both mods/atty + my 6x batteries + couple small juice bottles and leave the rest in checked luggage... going away for 2 weeks so should be okay...(Praying that I can charge my batteries properly on the other side of the world)..haha....

I just returned from a trip to Colorado.. Neither Sky Harbor or Denver Int'l had any problems with my mods, batteries or juice. They were more interested in my bottle of face wash that was too big and confiscated that. :p

I flew to FL back in March and carried 7 or 8 60ml bottles with me on the plane, everything was commercially available and in it's original bottle. I keep them in my Pelican box and when I put my bag under the seat I make sure the box is upright, I had 2 Subtanks in the box as well and they were in ziplocs and place upside down. Mods and supplies were in a seperate case. Worked very nice and still carry everything in those 2 cases when I go out of town. They're real handy because I can rearrange the foam to fit what I'm taking, protect what's in them very well and contain spills if there are any (that's why mods are in a seperate box).

It's an 1150 and I got 2 foam kits so I can change it up, the foam for the lid had to come out or it won't close. The one a use for mods is not as deep and works fine for a weekends worth of stuff if I'm not flying.

This is good advice. I double bagged all my stuff on a recent trip and had no liquid leaking.

Also, if you can get a pistol box like TX has and you put an LED timer on the top counting down, you'll get a free colonoscopy!

My first flight after I started vaping taught me the lesson the hard way. I had a semi-serious leak and smelled it as soon as I got my luggage off the turnstile thing. A bunch of glazed donut e-juice got all over my stuff.

I smelled like a freakin' Krispy Kreme in the casinos for a week.

The bottles can be no more than 3oz in size. Whatever fits in a quart sized see through zip lock baggie.

https://www.tsa.gov/travel/security-screening/liquids-rule

There are 88.7206 ml in 3oz. You can carry a lot of liquid onto the plane. I usually take a 100ml bottle (or two or three) in 1 ziplock freezer bag and have never had a problem.

    What ever you do, do not ask the people that would know the correct answer, ask a bunch of random people that usually make crap up instead of saying "I don't know"
    You know, an answer that is stated to be not definitive is pretty definitive.
