Eliquid is classed as a poison so technically you cant fly it out.

Most of us DIY so dont have labels on our juices, no label = no poison sign.

Batteries are in hand luggage, as are mods.

I normally have all electricals with me as I would hate to have my suitcase go missing or arrive later amd have to try and replace expensive stuff (phone, tablet, camera, lens etc).

Batteries charged and in a mod, all other mods have no batteries. Spare batteries in their cases, charged of course.

Liquids I normally have 100ml hand luggage, including what is in my tank. The rest go in my suitcase. Tape wrapped round the top/neck, bagged, bagged into a carrier bag and knotted, then slotted into another carrier bag that is knotted. If it leaks it wont ruin clothes.

Enjoy your holiday!

Ok, so put my eliquid in unmarked bottles. I can take a larger quantity (say 30ml) in suitcase But what do i say if say have a small 10ml unmarked bottle in my handluggage and they ask?

Batteries I will keep charged and in a case. Only planning to take one small device which has a built in battery. Im hoping i can just leave it in my hand luggage!

 

[Miss Pepper]

Be honest with them if they ask what it is, lying will potentially leave you having all of your suitcases and bags searched.

I pack several 100ml in my suitcases and have a couple of smaller bottles to refill and carry with me.

Check what stance the country you are going to has on vaping.

I tend to put my mod through the scanner in the box the airport give to empty pockets and put bags in.

Relax mate, you wil not be the first person flying on holiday and being a vaper!

Lastly, you may want to say which countries you are going to land in, even for a connecting flight as people can give you details of their direct experience.

So Turkish Airlines have now confirmed that I can carry my device (built in 2600mah battery) on my person.

Im flying to Pakistan, then India via Istanbul.

Better stock up on a couple of smaller bottles which can be unlabeled.

Thank you for your help Miss Pepper

They might be inquisitive about a labelled bottle, but surely an unlabelled one is bound to be scrutinized?

I put a "Glooop" label on all my DIYs. They do have a hazchem on them because I also make them for family & friends who have kids at home, and they're designed to give you a clue as to what's in the bottle, like a picture that hints at the flavour. For example:

So far I've only had my bags searched once while carrying e-juice. On that occasion they took it at face value and didn't even bother to have a sniff. Mind you, there's no option for me; I really have to use labels on my DIYs because I usually have at least half a dozen in rotation at a given time.

 

[jman316]

your right, it may be put up for more scrutiny if there is no label. However, previously have taken toiletries after putting them in smaller bottles, bought from the pound shop. and taken through in clear bag.

I might just stick a label on it to be on the safe side though!
