good morning all

I fly a lot as in every 4 weeks I’m doing a international flight that always takes me through Singapore. Now we all know that vaping is illegal there and I have always been pretty careful transiting through.

Well this time, first time in 4 years I used Quitar instead of Singapore air. And they refused to check my luggage all the way through to my destination as Singapore air have always done. I was assured that the transfer desk in Singapore would be able to do this for me.

Well, let me tell you that the transfer desk dose not do this and would not budge to help transfer my baggage from one airliner to another. I was forced to leave the terminal and collect the bags in turn passing customs.

A country that still has the death penalty for been in possession of weed, I was not willing to take any chances. So off to the head custom officers office I went before going to any X-ray or attempting the nothing to declare lane and plead my case.

Though extremely strict he was very pleasant and to sum degree understanding. I was very close to loosing everything ( I don’t travel light) but managed to only have to give up all my juice, ok it was a liter of commercial juice but that’s a small price to pay in a country like Singapore. Now I’m stuck with a whole bunch of Mods and no juice to vape with them. Hopefully my cue and gusto can carry me through till my juice delivery can come.

Moral of the story, don’t trust the people behind the check in desk and don’t try to BS custom officials as if they caught me it would of been far worse.
