We've heard about LAX in particular confiscating e-cigs, so those should go in your checked luggage. If you can't wait that long, carry a cheap e-cig to get you through the airports.

However. If you have any lithium batteries that are not in devices, those MUST go in carry-on luggage in appropriate containers. The best containers will be dedicated battery cases or the original retail packages. Otherwise tape the ends and put them in individual zip-lock bags.

    I've flown over a dozen times since I started.


    I usually put all my gear inside one of those clear-top chinese takeout containers on top inside my unzipped carry on; juice goes in the "freedom bag" next to it.

    Most airlines do not allow vapng, so I do not allow vapor to be visible ;) from my seat. I try to sit next to the window.

    Pro tip: get extra strength nic juice low in VG and carry a hanky. Flying at night also helps.

    I just got back from South Padre Island. No troubles at either airport. I put my Vamo an aspire nautilus (empty) and a couple flavors in 10 ml bottles all inside an ego case. When I got to the checkpoint, I tossed it in the tray and they didn't even open it. Make sure you put spare batteries in either a zip lock bag each or a plastic battery case. Enjoy your trip and don't worry about it. Oh the tank should be empty due to cabin pressurizing. If you leave it full it will likely leak all over you.

    On max quantity I don't know but I had three 10ml bottles. Yes a bag per battery works. Just to make sure it won't short. If you want to take more e-juice toss it in your checked luggage.
