Does anyone have any suggestions for what to pack 2 x 26650 batteries into when flying?
Silicone or hard plastic case. Available at most vendors

I have a quick question. How does the TPD affect vapers travelling from SA to England. Do I need to make sure not to take anything that is not TPD compliant. Will I be able to take juice from here to there?

There is, but not enforced. If I remember correctly, 1 battery plus 1 spare battery per device. Bottom line - take as few as possible.
As far as I know those only apply to vendors, not consumers. Yes, you can take juice. Not more than 100 ml per ziplock bag.
Thank you so much! And no problems with my tanks then? Because I know they have an issue with anything with over 2ml capacity

That is how I understand it, yes.
Or take more devices

When I flew up to Vapecon via Mango I had 800ml of ejuice, 6 batteries and 3 squonk mod kits and my carry-on luggage was not checked or queried at both check-ins and security checks.
They were just concerned about the laptop.
The one guy at Lanseria check-in was also a vaper and after I gave him 50ml of my Groot since he said it smelled great he organised me a window seat.
Sometimes pays to be a vaper.

I'm planning a trip to Zanzibar in December. Flying direct from Joburg.
Travel agent said I should keep it in my Check in luggage and NOT hand luggage. Now I am confused, because that goes against everything I read here.

Better to give the airline a call just to make sure or check their webpage on flight safety and guidelines.

I flew with etihad recently. And had a layover in Abu Dhabi. All my liquids were in checked luggage with 1 mod. And i carried a mod with in my hand luggage with the batteries packed separately in a case. I had no issues. Leaving Europe coming back i was carrying my mod in my pocket. Going through the screening i put my mod and cellphone on the tray and walked through. Picked my mod right back up and straight back into my pocket and boarded the plane. Had no issues with anyone. It seems as the only rule was to not vape on a plane. But having your vape on you was not an issue. Just make sure your bottles are 100ml. I also squeezed them till all the air was out then put the lids on. Had no leaking whatsoever. Hope this helps
Edit - I was not able to vape in Abu Dhabi tho. Even in the allocated smoking cubicles.

Durban to Dubai to Europe and through many checks and X-rays etc and into the boat. Not one issue. I have three BB’s and a Vapedroid and ten batteries (all in condoms) and 100ml of juice in my carry on. Extra juice and tool kit in checked in suitcase. Not one issue.

Does one take juice in a 100ml bottle or can one have 30ml bottles but not exceeding 100ml?
Also do you take batts in hand luggage?
Thanks

Hi @Clouds4Days
I think the restriction is on the size of a single bottle.
So no single bottle can be more than 100ml (of any fluid, eg shampoo etc)
But you can take 10 x 30ml bottles. As far as I know.
I have flown with more than 100ml in total - but just with lots of 30ml bottles.
I’ll chime onto what Silver said. I do multiple flights a year (2017 I’m on 76 flights so far) and I travel with 4-5 50ml bottles (I need the multiple flavors). So far no issue. When it’s 100ml or more I can’t say-all of my juices are less than that.
