Vape Gear on a Plane

[Rudi]

I have a question...
Could any of you frequent flyers please give me advice on taking your Vape Gear on a plane?
what can i take? can i take it in hand luggage?

Im flying to capetown in June for my honeymoon and as a first time flyer im not sure on the rules.

Any info will be greatly appreciated

No problems. Take as hand luggage. Liquid in volumes less than 100 ml and in ziplock bags. I have my batteries in those plastic holders. Remember the air pressure might lead to leaking in atomizers. Take a stealth vape.

All good! Take it on the plane and vape it! If someone approach you, put your device in the air and start talking Arabic. Quite a hoot seeing everyone panic. Your new wife can always visit you in jail. But it's worth it.

Been doing local as well as international with the following in hand luggage and never had a problem (only George airport security wanted to know what the e-Grip was while it was connected to a charge bank during scanning):

• Reo with battery & filled juice bottle fitted
• plastic holder with 5 18650 batteries
• 4 X 30ml e-juice (plastic containers) in clear zip-lock bag
• e-Grip for stealth vaping during flights

Yip, I also usually have a Reo with battery and juice for the stealth vaping, but it does tend to overflow a bit with the air pressure changes. Think will do my eGrip next time.

Im not so much worried about stealth vaping on the plane, just not sure what regulations there is on ecigs and wasnt sure if it can go into hand luggage...

Thanx guys for the info

Yes, this time round I only used the e-grip and empty juice bottle in the Reo - had some leaking in the past with Reo due to cabin pressure.

Id suggest counting backwards from 10 in Arabic. got stopped at a casino once when asked what the device was I said its the detonator not to worry the bombs in the car. the look on securities face was worth it would try it at the airport though. they get quite touchy.

i have found the simplest is to take out the mechs and put them through with my laptop and cell.Also, Turn tank type atomiser and rta's upside down when in the plane, air pressure will now force the air bubble out of the afc, not the juice.
Incedentally aqua ' s travel perfectly, just close the afc and your good
To be honest, I snuck 3 toots in on the plane too, just held my breath forever

@johan , stealth in the toilet or...?

Yeah, that is looking for jail time!

lol i think i would be safer in jail than at home...

I do it in my seat as well when the lights are off - just double clutch the inhale and blow into you clothes or below the blanket. Some people around might ask what smells so nice.

No I can't in a toilet for the life of murphy! I just put the blankey they dish out over my head and vape non-tobacco flavors at hearts content.

 

[Cat]

ok, so, night flights. i think that's...generally the case anyway. Thailand. Why not in the toilet?

And menthol. Or something like Happy Holidays. i didn't think of that. No NET.

Well, day or night, for long flights they always put the lights off at some stage. Toilet is fine, just blow down into the bowl to avoid the smoke detectors. @johan just has voop sensibilities.

Because my OCD prevents me from proper breathing in a public toilet, let alone vaping! I've vaped during local daytime flights as well - just keep the vapor longer in my lungs and exhale down on my shirt.

But it's filtered through the vape. ...........Then again, plane toilets do get a bit much. Aisle seat maybe, if i might be going to the toiet every half-hour. Smoke detectors don't detect vapour, apparently. Somewhere, someone did a good test. (i don't remember it was someone here or...) And i did do it at my desk a lot, at night, and there were many smoke detectors - and in the toilet.

Then you just say: "Excuse me, it slipped out"

 

[Robert Howes]

I have vaped many times in the toilet on a few international flights and lots of local ones, no alarms go off.

Do not risk it - @vaalboy did the same test and it went off!
