travelling with ...wire, rta/rda and mod and juice

[aalmosawi]

Hi all.

Just curious on the best packaging method for this.

My brother is bringing me all these parts "boxed" ... obviously i want myself in new pristine condition lol

Now. where would you pack the following:

Mod: carry-on or checked?
Wire: carry-on or checked?
Cotton: carry-on or checked?
Batts: carry-on or checked?
juice: carry-on or checked?
Rda/tank: carry-on or checked?

Now in regards to the Rda/tank. this one has me starting in the face. if carry-on wont it trigger an alarm in the sonar machine being its "shape" is rather... well you know what i mean.
would it be better shipped checked?

now. about traveling through a country that prohibits e-cigs and you have a layover. what about that?

Here you go:

As to the layover, it's possible you may run into issues.

hmm. interesting about the layover though. i am not sure how to tackle this issue. i need to get my stuff and get puffing. its only 21 hour layover.

for dubai airport on this page though i dont see no "ecig" on the prohibited list.

I have always put everything in my carry-on baggage and have never had someone even ask to inspect it, I have flown with RDAs, Tanks, Wire, Extra batteries, Juice and even a re-build kit which consisted of two small screwdrivers, tweezers and scissors. Times are catching up so I believe many of the people screening luggage do know exactly what the device is and what it is used for.

Electronic cigarettes and air travel

However if you are traveling through a country that explicitly has outlawed E-cig use entirely you MAY run in to issues, I have never done that personally and if I planned to I would call ahead to a supervisor to find out if I am allowed to travel through my layover with the items in question with the understanding that I am only en-route to a different destination.
