I have a trip coming up in October. I'm more concerned about making sure my vape gear actually GOES WITH ME and doesn't get confiscated. I can wait a few hours until the plane lands to actually vape. Any advice for this?

I was worried about this too. Put it on a carry on (liquids need to be in a clear ziplock bag and under the TSA liquid amounts). Got x-rayed and pulled aside. I showed them that they were ecigs and batteries and they let me on my merry way. There's no rules against carrying ecigs through an airport or on a plane. The only rules are the amount of liquid you can take with you and that you can't do it on a plane (at least openly).

Usually, I'll get to the airport early and rig the oxygen masks on the plane. About 30 mins into the flight, the "Fasten Seatbelt" light goes on, the masks drop and while everyone is scrambling wondering what is going on, I'm vaping my ... off through the mask! The best part is, I usually get a free voucher for my next flight because of the inconvenience.

In the past when I've flown, I just packed all my vape gear in my checked bag, but last week I decided to bring a small amount of vape stuff in my carry-on. Before checking my one bag, I approached a TSA rep, showed him my Provari and asked if it was ok to bring through security. He looked at me like he hears the same question all day, and told me "of course".

Once I got to my gate, I noticed a man vaping discreetly near a wall. I then asked the Delta desk rep if vaping was ok and she said "Sure, just not on the plane." I found a seat near a wall with an electrical outlet, charged my phone while happily vaping.

On my return flight from Cincinnati, I had no problems in the security check, but again asked a Delta rep at the gate. He also said it was fine so I repeated what I did in Orlando. Our flight was delayed over an hour because our plane was stuck at another airport, so the ability to vape made the wait so much easier.

I did not vape on the flights because I am so used to not smoking on them, but I loved the fact that, beforehand, I was not having to sit outside or in a smoking room and then board the plane smelling like an ashtray.

Just common sense -- ask politely and accept whatever answer you get gracefully.

I fly international alot to and from Saudi Arabia every month. I pack my vape gear in my carry on and never had any real issues at all. I had them question my juice and swab the outside of the bottles for drugs. The TSA agent said as long as the bottles are label correctly as to what it is, there is no problem.

Some people vape on plane and some dont.....Just remember if you get caught or set the smoke detector off in the bathroom your gonna pay the price!!!!
