Travelling Abroad with my REO's

[Jet Knight]

With the recent changes with TSA, I need some help in what I can carry, e.g. juice size bottles, batteries, wicking tools, etc., in my "hand carry" baggage and my "check in" baggage. Traveling to Asia soon, so any help is much appreciated. I would hate to lose or have any of my REO's confiscated.

Thanks

Taken mine to all over Asia many times. batteries in a safe case in your carry on only. I take about 20 or 30 ml of liquid with me on board in case my luggage gets lost. All rebuilding supplies go into my checked luggage.
Remember to take the bottle off your reo before you take off or the pressure with make a huge mess.
HK is the only place I have been to that it isn't legal. Maybe that has changed, not sure.
I get the most puzzling looks when in China. Ironic, huh?

This topic always has me curious, as I know soon enough I'll have to fly with a REO.
This thread might be helpful to you.
Flying with my Reo?

Awesome sig banner, by the way

I have traveled abroad extensively with no problems taking my REO's. I put my juice in small bottles in a ziploc, don't leave any in your mods as the pressure changes will cause leaks, I know cuz it happened to me my fist time. Put the batteries in a case, and keep these in your carry on, they are forbidden in checked baggage. If you are bringing scissors and other tools for rebuilding and such, put them in your checked bag, or they might get tossed going through security. Going to asia is a loooong flight, so I usually buy a pack of high nic blu cartos and run them on a small vv ego battery and stealth vape on the plane and in the airports. As long you take short drags and hold in longer than normal, there's not much, if any, visible vapor to bother anyone. Have a good trip!

I stealth vaped my mini 2.0 on my flights to and from Australia last year without issue.

ANOTHER THING TO KEEP IN MIND FOR STEALTH VAPING: Quit pressing the fire button at least a half-second before you finish dragging. This will avoid the wisp of residual vapor that can flow out of the atomizer and blow your cover.

Just got back from China myself. I flew out of Canada, not that that seems to be any different from the states in terms of security.

You'll read all about storing of juice, bats and mods in the linked thread above.

What I can say about China (and this would hold for a lot of Asia) is this...

* They are paranoid about batteries. One lady I was travelling with had her checked bag pulled for having a spare camera battery in it. Take all your bats with you in your carry-on... for reals.

* Be prepared for radically different procedures at each airport. Beijing was very thorough and asked questions about everything in my carry-on (and I mean eeeeeverything). Shi'an couldn't have cared less. Shanghai targeted the vape gear and asked questions, but got it very quickly and were okay with it.

* Read up on any limits for batteries. Some carriers restrict the number of spare bats you can carry (often a limit of 2 extras).

* Chinese security's vaping IQ is very much lower than america's (or europe's). Be prepared to explain very slowly and multiple times. I would take a print out from Rob's web page to present to them if need be.

I think it is still illegal in HK, but since I was a tourist, it was allowed. Was able to bring mine as checked in luggage though. If I carry my REO in my handcarry bag will it get confiscated in Hong Kong?

what are the max size juice bottles I can carry in my Checked In baggage and Carry on Luggage? I think TSA changed the size limits from a year ago.
Thanks for the help everyone.

Don't know about Hong Kong. Been to Shanghai, Taipei, and Ho Chi Minh City with no problems. I carry my juice in 50 ml squeeze bottles.

I have carried them into and out of HK about a dozen times in the last 6 years without a problem.
