Hand luggage and e liquids?

[emmita]

Next week I am flying (on a plane LOL!) and for the first time taking hand luggage only.  Usually I put all liquids in hold luggage.  Question is, can I take unlimited bottles providing each one does not exceed 100mls and all fit comfortably in the plastic bag they provide. I want to take some 30ml concentrates and a few ready made juices, plus some already filled cartos.

The cartos will be fine. You will need to follow the same rules as any other liquid in your hand luggage and I wouldn't take anything that had a 'poison' label on it

The liquid restrictions are the same regardless of what the liquids are, so I believe no bottle bigger than 100ml, total capacity 1 litre

3 weels ago a friend of mine brought over 7 x 10ml bottles of concentrates and apparently just packed them in her small case (hand luggage). She didn't even put them in one of those plastic bags you normally put liquid in and take through customs. She still had them in the jiffy bags they were posted to her in. She got through ok with them.

I can only tell you about the concentrates, coz that's all I get peeps to bring over these days. In the past they would bring over some ready-made juice but I think they were packed in cases in the hold.

just buy the shampoo where you are going too - than you have more space for e liquids - and yes good advice - remove the original labels

Have a read here emmita www.gov.uk/hand-luggage-restrictions the plastic sealable bags cost 50p each from airports you can buy a pack for not much more than that at home

Great thanks, what I really needed to know was the total capacity which sammy13 has kindly given. I don't take any other liquids i.e shampoo/face cream etc as I am already stocked up abroad, so just the precious cargo of vaping gear! Last time I went I had in my HOLD luggage, 1 litre PG/ 200ml nic base/ 1 500ml tin of paint and another of varnish - was going to do a little DIY as well as R and R.

Thanks, it is interesting to note that neither on that link, nor on any airline notifications do they state the maximum quantity you can take in the little plastic bag......but I am taking sammy13 's word for it that it a Litre!!! Already got my bags dinamic22 thanks!

Yes it's 1 litre,as long as no bottle is bigger than 100ml, but I have found in the 20cm by 20cm bags or whatever it is you would find it a struggle to get so many eliquid ( or any other small bottles) in.
If there are two of you travelling please remember this is per person, so other half, sibling, friend etc could take  the same.
You took Paint????

I think the litre rule on the bags is the bag size emmita as the bags are approx half size of an A4 sheet of paper so no way would you fit a litre of any liquid in it.

I am going Easy Jet, their rules and regs say much the same, but I will put in just 10ml bottles of mainly concentrate and label them food flavouring!!! Just me flying so no one else to offload my habit on to!!  When my plastic bag is packed, I'll post a photo for your approval!!

And yes, I did take a can of paint........the paint in the Canary Islands is rubbish so wanted to take my Dulux!

 I can't believe you took dulux, if you got that through you have no probs with e-liquid.

Just make sure the bag is the correct size, nothing over 100ml, and it will be fine.

But the can of paint was in my hold luggage.
