What great pix! Brought a huge smile to my face :).



Totally :offtopic: but I need advice. I haven't flown in at least 18 months, and have to, this week. Southwest's hazardous warnings include Li Ion batteries. Does anyone know whether it's a problem to bring a P3, a spare battery and a charger on board? Any advice will be greatly appreciated!

everything should be kept in your carryon ... you should have no issues.

Not off topic at all. I can not help you as I no longer fly, but I'm sure it would be allowed on Southwest. It's a safe Provari.

Check in with chief. He flies all the time.

I haven't flown in a while and worry I'll get it wrong too when i do the next time.

I ship all my vape stuff to Florida and then fly it back to Canada in my carryon ... I'll be heading down in May and bringing back 4 Provaris, 8 batteries, charger, coil, wick and about 200ml of eLiquid.

did the same with 3 Provaris in February ... they know exactly what it is.

the only issue would be batteries in checked luggage ... they could remove those.

Here's what I learned. As y'all said, everything in carry on. Batteries either in mod(s) or in hard case. Some carriers don't like the hard case, though - so best to bring an extra mod for the extra battery. No problem there - I'll bring 2 P3s. Robin01 puts her mods on top of her purse to go through X-ray. Juice in ziplock with other liquids. I'm going to bring 2 STs, but empty. Going to Phoenix, so worst case, I'll go to a vape shop for more juice, if I have to. I used to fly over 100k miles a year. I don't miss it AT ALL!

We're back. The past 3 days have just been magical. But it's now back to reality, except I took an extra day off from work, so tomorrow will just be a quiet lounge around the condo type of day! Thanks again EVERYONE for the wonderful and thoughtful wishes!

LB, as others have said, it's fine to fly with your Provari and batteries. I have flown several times with mine and never had any issues. EXCEPT, I forgot to empty my tank once and like Fleur-De-Lis suggested above, make sure to fly with an empty tank, or be prepared to have a gooey mess on your hands when you land. The pressure in a plane doesn't play well with juice in a tank. Oh, NO it does not!

On the flying thing - you can fly with a full tank, just don't forget to turn it upside down and keep it that way.

On a new subject and one actually related to vaping. Sir Rod is about to give up completely on the Kanger Sub Tank Mini. The first one I bought leaked. So, I bought a second one. Now about 3 weeks in, it too is leaking. I can't stand leaks. I get juice in my pants pockets. I get juice on my hands and it just plain annoys me. I read recently that Kanger is reintroducing the original Sub Tank with beefier o-rings. Hmmmmm, I wonder why? I don't feel I should have to buy a 3rd system, even if the o-rings are beefier. So I think I may be done with Kanger forever. HBManOfTheCorpseDude said the same long ago. He was tired of having issues with Kanger systems and so am I.

So this brings me to what I need to do. I think I need to finally purchase an authentic Kayfun Lite Plus. I don't really enjoy building coils, but I'll simply have to with the Kayfun, but all of you who have one seem to love it and I'm hoping none of you have experienced any leaks. Have you? Huh??

I remember from posts a couple weeks ago which got quite heated about authorized sellers, we did determine VapinArt.com is authorized. Who else is authorized so I can make sure I get the best price when I order one.

Thanks. I think I'm going back to my Nautilus P3 top with BVC coils until I get a Kayfun. While I've been spoiled by the great taste and amount of vapor from the Sub Tank Mini, the frustration of leaks has simply soured me on the system.
