Please help with traveling over seas with vape gear

[Brian - Vape-bos]

Hi there fellow vapers.
In October I will be flying to Hong Kong and then to Thailand. Does anyone know what these countries are like with vaping in terms of law etc.? Also does anyone know whether I can pack my devices on my carry on or check in luggage. The info I find online is mostly from a few years ago, but it seems that a person should not check in their luggage with any batteries inside...batteries are apparently only allowed to be carried in your carry on bag...can anyone help? Thanks.

I think you can check with your airline probably under the FAQ section. Yes as far as I know batteries must be in carry on luggage also check the restrictions on liquids in your carry on.

Cannot comment on the local laws applicable in those countries.

From what I hear, vaping is now a complete no-no in Thailand.

Currently in Seoul, having flown via Hong Kong. The only precaution I took was to remove the batteries from my two Reo's and I put my Eliquid in a clear plastic bag. My bags passed through both South African and HongKong customs without any questions being asked. I would advise that you put all your gear in your carry on.

Thank you guys! Shit the last thing I want is for my gear to get confiscated.

As far as I know vaping is illegal in Thailand...

I think it is only illegal to sell, buy or import e-cigs and eliquid in Thailand. You can take your personal devices and eliquid.
