I am finally taking my first serious (long) vacation since starting vaping and am honestly stumped on what all to bring so I decided to come on here and see what all YOU bring during 2+ week long vacations.. Multiple flavors or just one flavor, lots of wire or pre wrapped coils, extra tools for ease of building or only the necessities? I just don't want to use too much space for vape gear.. Also I guess I might better add that I will be driving to our destination, no airports for me thankfully!

Battery charger, a spare set of coils (change it right before you leave so you wont have to worry. But a spare set incase something happens to the coils in your atomizer. A few of your flavors you enjoy or 1 (i cant just vape 1 flavor for 2 weeks personally) a few changes worth of wicking. I would bring a screwdriver if thats what your posts take but not much else is needed.

I recently went to Texas for work...gone for 2 weeks. I only brought my Microstick, 2 Microdrip RDAs, 5 AW IMR 18350 batteries (one in my mod, 4 in a plastic case), a charger, a small rebuilding kit (wire, coil jig thingy, cotton, fingernail clippers, and tweezers) and about 60 ml of juice. All of it fit into a small tackle box/tool kit thingy I got at Walmart for 5 bucks.

I did stop at a vape store to pick up some more juice.

I would start by scouting the area on google for vape shops. Bring dependable gear. I leave the drippers at home and sub ohm so I have 2 spare coils for the Subtank Plus. I would bring 2 istick 30w's. Maybe 1 30w and 1 50w. Either way, 2 mods. 1 week equals 40ml of juice and it will be closer to 40 because you will have less to do and thus, vape more.

I carry an 18" Harbor Freight tool bag:
Vaping Supplies - 2 Cana DNA box mods, 4-6 18650 batteries, I4 charger, 5 KF 3.1 RTA's, Nimbus dripper, 4-5 50ml bottles of ADV juices,
Repair and Maintenance - complete rebuild kit, atty resistance test box, DMM, miscellaneous hand tools, paper towels, q-tips, coil winding gear, mod stand.
And the most important thing is the credit card (just in case);)

I went on a weeks vacation a few months ago. I brought two Reo's, my vape bag stocked with, wire, cotton, batteries, rebuild kit, all my favorite juices (you never know what you'll be in the mood for while you're gone) and as suggested, I googled local vape shops and went to one just for the heck of it :).

I don't go on vacations
but if I did i'd take
1: - one of my wall plugin adapters
2: - 4 batts and a charger (nitecore usb fastcharger + my 2 amp adapter)
3: - 1 of my 30mm veritas rda's (it would already be hooked of on a vamo5s control head on #1 above
4: - one of my astro telescopic mechs with a kick with my heavytaste modtank
5: 150ml of ejuice- 50ml in my working needle bottle, and 100ml in a glass bottle for refill.


damn that's a lot; hey that's one more reason for me NOT to go on a two week vacation!

I have a vape kit that I bring with me to work that has all kinds of tools if I need to rebuild, rewick, clean, or perform any kind of maintenance. I bring the kit when I travel along with two mechanical mods, batteries, a charger, a handful of atomizers, and a handful of bottles of different eliquid.

My kit includes some of the following items:

Screwdriver
Scissors
Syringe
Nail clipper
Spare coils
Tweezers
Volt/ohm meter
Rubber band
KGD cotton pads
GP Fluff
GP Fork
Sunshine cloth
Coil bits


Two mods, a small plastic case with wick, wire, and a few tools, two tanks, batteries (you can only bring two spare batteries on board a plane), charger, and some e-liquid.

I have never heard of being limited to two batteries of the type that vapers might use on a flight. I believe that such a limit applies to much larger batteries:

Lithium ion batteries (a.k.a.: rechargeable lithium, lithium polymer, LIPO, secondary lithium). Passengers may carry all consumer-sized lithium ion batteries (up to 100 watt hours per battery). This size covers AA, AAA, cell phone, PDA, camera, camcorder, handheld game, tablet, portable drill, and standard laptop computer batteries. The watt hours (Wh) rating is marked on newer lithium ion batteries and is explained in #3 below. External chargers are also considered to be a battery.
Passengers can also bring two (2) larger lithium ion batteries (100-160 watt hours per battery) in their carry-on. This size covers the largest aftermarket extended-life laptop batteries and most lithium ion batteries for professional-grade audio/visual equipment. Most lithium ion batteries for consumer electronics are below this size.

Car travel vacation:
At least two or three tank atomizers with tested but fresh builds.
Enough juice to last the trip plus a safety margin of at least another week.
5 fully charged 18650's
Charger.
Two mods.
ipad (so I can keep up with ECF of course lol).

Air travel vacation [look of shame]:
A disposable lighter.
Pack of smokes for each day away.
Nicotine lozenges (can't smoke in the airport while waiting 2 or 3 hours to check in for a flight that may or may not be even that long - air travel: fast; air travel security theatre: slow)

I just can't deal with what if the TSA folks are a-holes that day, what if the country I'm traveling to regulates nicotine, what if . . . It's a frigging vacation and I don't want to have to anticipate any grief about what I'm bringing with me lol.

PS to TSA: I'd rather walk to where I'm going than have to wait in a line to show you my papers and have a body search but my wife likes to go to far away places so I put up with pretending I'm in WW II Germany. Continuing the rant, I'm old enough to remember when air travel was a special, luxurious experience that enhanced rather than detracted from the entire trip. Now I'd rather walk on hot coals than get on a plane to get somewhere.

If somebody is traveling to foreign countries, then there are legal limits as to how much somebody can bring with them I believe. Some countries even have it banned completely. I'm going away for a month this summer to Europe, and I still have to research some more, but I think that 100 ml of e juice is the limit, so I intend to buy 3 bottles of 30 ml e juice and bring it with me when I leave this summer. I'll also bring a small 10 ml bottle, so I max out my quota, and that'll last me just fine for an entire month.

As for the hardware, I'm bringing 2 evod batteries and tanks, 2 808d batteries and tanks, plus the chargers for both. I'll also be bringing a few extra coils. 30 days isn't that long, and I don't intend to bring any more vape gear and supplies than that.

Geesh, I haven't even considered a vapecation.... Just traveling out of town overnight for business and I'm packing iStick 30 and 50, 4 tanks (usually 2 PT2s and 2 STNs) At least two extra coils for each head, and 4 bottles of juice. On one trip, I packed my build kit to refresh coils whilst sitting in my hotel room.
