Newbie Traveling Abroad

[Kristinylea]

I will be traveling abroad in about a month and just realized that the country I am visiting will have a type G outlet and am not sure I am going to be able to charge my batteries. Is there any sort of adapter that I might be able to use, or will it all have to strictly be via a USB? I don't really want to pack our laptop since we really won't be using it (as least I hope not )

Also, I want to make sure that e-cigs aren't banned in St. Lucia (where we will be going). I have been told there are some countries that don't allow them, any idea where I might be able to find a list?

Thanks for all the help on this site, it has been really beneficial to someone like me who knew nothing about vaping up until about a week ago. You guys are amazing!

Hi and welcome to ECF. I can't help you with your problem but there's a forum for travel. You can review previous posts, or get a couple more posts and ask your question there. Here's a link Travel and E-Cig.

Walmart and other stores have adapter kits that have several socket types. I am traveling to the Philippines next month, which uses 220v outlets, but the same type sockets as the US. I have a Joye eGo and the wall adapter says 100v-240v, so I can use it in that country.

Thank you for the welcome! I will have to make a run to Walmart and see if they have something that will work for me, thanks!

Power spec for St. Lucia (Windward Is.) is: 240 V 50 Hz Type G. The type G is the same prong set up used in England. Look at your e-cig charger. if it says "input 100 - 240v 50/60hz then all you need is an American Type (A & B) to type G adapter. If it is only rated for 120v 60hz you will need a voltage converter.

St. Lucia is awesome and the diving is spectacular. Have fun

We haven't been able to get our open water dives done before we go, so it looks like we might just be snorkeling around, but still should be great!
