question on travailing with vape gear

[johnnydisco]

i have a flight coming up soon. i was wondering how I need to travel with my vape gear? I am planing on taking lots of DIY juice, 8 18650's, a cuboid, tube mech, charger, and a couple of rda's. i did a search and it sounds like I need to carry everything on but not quite sure.
Any help on clarification will be much appreciated. I am on a tight budget and i can't afford to loose or replace anything.

Don't pack it in your checked luggage. Put it in your carry-on indeed. Security might check your carry-on after you go thru the checkpoint but that's normal.
For your DIY juice, I had empty bottles of store-bought juice which I kept specifically for transferring my DIY into those bottles just to be extra safe because any liquids which don't have labeling could be suspect to being confiscated/discarded.

Thanks for the clarity. the bottle thing is pure genius! i should have enough empties from friends to cover it.

Any tanks you carry on should be empty, or stored inverted, so the air in the tank is by the fluid ports.

The main thing are your batteries. Li-ion batteries are to be in your hand luggage nowadays, preferably in a battery box. Liquids & heavy gear definitely go in your check in luggage.
I travelled half the world and they never made any remarks about liquids. I always have at least 2 x 100ml diy in my suitcase and I generally just drop it my sanitary bag together with my toothpaste and shaving gear.
I use a cheapo mini ego with a 2 ml tank which I carry on me for a transfer and when I can have a quick stealth vape in a toilet or so. Customs never made a fuzz about it and if they do, they can keep it, just cost me 5$ at FT anyway.

You do however want to check your destination's attitude towards ecigs. In some countries they are illegal.

I just returned from Mexico yesterday and flew with Frontier. I packed my juice in my checked bag (4 ea. 30ml bottles). I packed my spare batteries (in plastic battery storage boxes), tanks (empty), atomizers, mods, etc. in my carry on bag. I also had an Istick 40W TC and did not take it apart.

I had absolutely no problem.

I'm pretty sure airlines don't carry lithium batteries in the cargo/luggage hold of their aircraft for safety reasons.
