Traveling to South Korea

[Earle555]

Hello All,

I am traveling to Seoul, South Korea for 4 months. I was wondering if anyone had and advice / info about flying with 4 / 50 ml bottles of e-liquid. Should I check or carry on? Or and experience with customs?

Thanks for your help.

Hi Earle and welcome to ECF!

Most advise putting it in a baggie like you do with any liquid and running it through the check-in line.

Here's an interactive map by country - apparently it's legal in South Korea:

Have a safe trip and Happy vaping!

Hey. From what I've heard, anything past 20 mL of any liquid with nicotine (of any concentration) could be subject to tax. If it's like mail, it'd come up to roughly 60 cent/mL. That said, I had 90 mLs shipped in from MBV and it passed customs without a hitch (probably because of their fun names).Even if caught with yr setup as is, you'll [more likely than not still (strike that)] definitely save due to the ridiculous prices of B&Ms here. (from what I've seen, roughly $35-40 for 30 mLs of liquid. They generally give you a mL of ~50% nic solution to mix in.

No experience w/ customs at the airport since I started vaping in country.

There's a forum dedicated to vaping in Korea here which can help you figure out yr game plan. G'luck.
