REOs and flying

[mommabird62]

How many of you fly with your REOs? Do you have any issues in security? I'm heading to St Thomas, which is US territory and plan on taking an istick and one other. Would really love to take one of my Grands. I have had mixed advice so I thought that I would ask y'all. All of my vape gear is either going to be in my purse or carry on. I will have room for batteries and charger. I don't want to take any chances with a REO tho and don't have to take one

Within the US you should have no problems with vape gear. Carry it on, as many 30 ml size bottles as you want (well up to the total limit which is "a lot") in your liquids baggy, batteries in plastic storage cases.

Did you check in here? =? Travel and E-Cig

Thanks rick I did look around there but didnt see any mention of REOs. Since they look so different from traditional gear, wasn't sure if I would get a hassle.

I've flown in the states several times with my reo and other devices and had no problems. Outside the US, I cannot comment on.

 

[Papa_Lazarou]

I'd just add that taking another device in addition to the reo would prolly be a good idea. For one, you'd have backup. You'd also have something more "mundane" as a referent to show them if there were questions about the reo - "see, it's just like this other thing, only a different design". In my experience, all they're really concerned about at security is plane safety.

Customs, however, is a slightly different matter, so you should also check up on the local regs regarding vaping for your destination.

Have a great trip.

I just got back from ten days in Scotland/Ireland yesterday. Took a grand and a mini 2.1 in my carry on plus 5 batteries for each. Passed through security and customs with no questions asked. Just be sure to empty your bottles and put full bottles in a 1 qt. zip-lock bag. Used them everywhere I went (outside) and never even got a second look.

Wait....WHAT? You didn't get a second look? With a REO? People must have been blind!

I have been in St. Thomas with my REO. No problems with security, but a guy who hangs out at a park in Charlotte Amalie harassed my husband and I endless about vaping LOL - he kept following us around and told us to use some kind of insect killer for nicotine instead.

LOL That is too funny! No telling what the insect killer was. With the iguanas they have down there, it takes more than that to chase them off. Last time we were there a few years ago, there was a guy at the resort that his only job was to keep them chased away. LOL

You could just wind up and chuck a Reo at 'em. It wouldn't hurt the Reo anyway.

 

[mommabird62]

LOL I'm afraid one may run off with it They aren't shy at all. Sortof like pigeons, Caribbean style

I just went to Florida and got back this past Sat. I wrapped my REOs in bubble wrap and put them in my carry on tote bag. I took them out and put them in the bin thing at security, still bubble wrapped with alll my batts in the plastic cases and in a zip lock bag next to them (along with 2 Provari and 3 Halo Triton). Only remark in Indy airport was that he "never saw those kind of ecigs before", LOL

No questions or anything in Ft Myers Airport. Overseas? Not sure but I think a ton of TSA are aware of them now. Have a great time!!!!

Went to London with my Mini last month and no problems with security whatsoever. After scanning they didn't even ask me what it was [emoji3]

There are those of us who take their REOs on the plane in a shirt pocket, juiced up, with battery . . . . ready to vape. (I won't say who tho ) Anyway, the point being: cabin pressure . . .. auto feed .. . . leakage.

 

[Ian444]

One could always loosen the cap on the bottle (provided the mod stays upright) then tighten it back up before squonking/vaping at cruise altitude. Once cruise altitude is reached, it should be fine right to the the end of the flight. I haven't tried it myself but understand how cabin pressurization works.

 

[Filthy-Beast]

I take them with me all the time, All your batteries must be in carry-on. I swap to an empty bottle before boarding and put the nipple tip on the other bottle in my pocket, you never know when it might come in handy. If you're going to stealth hit take small hits and hold it so you don't exhale a cloud.

 

[Stringer63]

Just flew back to KY from FL with my REO in my pocket. Not even a second look thru security. I emptied the bottle and took the battery out just to make sure there weren't any issues.
