Tips for Flying

[BigBoyBlue]

I have heard that flying can cause leaks in vap tanks and bottles. Do people recommend traveling with empty tanks? Also if I squeeze the air out of the juice bottles and do up the cap will this keep them from leaking?

I am curious about this myself - going to be flying in 2 days. Looking forward to some good answers

There is a whole sub-forum right here on ECF dedicated to travel and vaping. Find it at the link below.

Hello
They can leak but not much in the cabin with you if you pack them double bag them just to be on the safe side .
I use protank3's and none have leaked yet

Yeah, I found the air pressure in the plane caused some of my tanks to leak. My bottles were fine though.

I put everything in two plastic bags just to ensure that if I leak, my clothes don't wreak like e-juice.

It's not too big of a deal. Your tanks won't explode or anything, as a result of the pressure difference.

I fly all the time with vape gear. If you carry on your gear you should have little to no issues. Checked bags may be more problematic. I would wrap bottles in saran wrap and then put them in a ziplock. Carry tanks empty if checking. I never put my gear in the checked bag, juice maybe, but never my gear. Also if you are flying on a non American owned airline, you may be able to vape on the plane. I was able to use a cigalike type on South African Airways, Virgin Australia and Quantas w/o any complaints. Not sure if this is policy or I just got lucky.

Yeah, I too fly all the time with many different clearos and and atomizers, never had a problem as they all can vent for the most part to prevent leaking.

I flew with ecig gear for the first time last week, here's my experience:

I took an Aerotank V2 and Nautilus mini. On the flight out I emptied both tanks and obviously had no leakage. On the way back I left a small amount of liquid in each tank (basically the recommended refill level). The Aspire Nautilus mini leaked whereas the Aerotank V2 did not.

I took 4 partially filled 15ml glass bottles with droppers, lids snugged tightly. No leaks at all.
