Hi,
so if you have to take off (including changing flights) in the Netherlands, be warned that the Dutch "Transport and Water Management Inspectorate" considers nicotine solution as (possibly) dangerous goods - you're liable to have your bottles confiscated.
Here is the email they sent me answering to my enquiry about their regulations:
Now, here's my experience: I brought with me a small eyedropper bottle with some juice in it (small quantity, so if it got confiscated it would not be a big deal). I packed it in the ziploc bag along with my other liquids (shampoo etc). I removed the label - I thought the big orange "toxic" sign on it would probably not help, and also without a label it just looked like eye drops or some other toiletry.
To be on the safe side, I had already prefilled and packed five carts, so if they got my liquid I would still be able to vape.
When leaving the airport, the security guy picked up the ziploc bag. It gave a long, careful look at the contents, then put it down and let me through. Now, he probably did not realize what the liquid was. Having an eyedropper bottle without "Nicotine" written all over it may have helped.
The e-cig itself and the carts went through without a hitch in my hand luggage (they were all packed together in a small bag - a Nintendo DS case to be exact, great for carrying EVOs).
So, my suggestion is: bring a small quantity of liquid in a non cospicuous bottle; a cosmetics bottle might help.
vape safely.

Nicotine is classified as a dangerous good. It is very likely that the nicotine solution need to be classified as dangerous as well. If this substance is dangerous it must have a UN-number.
Generally it is not allowed to transport dangerous goods in your luggage. There are some substances/goods excluded from this rule, nicotine solutions are not one of them. Air operators can also apply their own company rules, which can be stricter than the general legislation.
We also advise you to contact the operator with whom you are going to fly concerning this substance.
If this substance is not allowed in your luggage you need to declare this as dangerous goods and use a company to make sure the goods comply with the legislation. For example you can use DHL to send this goods.
