Had no trouble on our Manchester - Portugal trip in April. Even vaped in both airports without hassle.

Carry-on had a couple of 20ml bottles of liquid with my own labels on and one tank 1/2 filled with juice in plastic bag, as well as empty tanks, batteries (in plastic cases) and mods stored in this.

I put loads of extra juice in a plastic bag (because it WILL leak) in the checked luggage.

They didn't even ask to check my gear after it went through the scanners.

That`s great, it is definitely not as much fun as it used to be   newdawn

I really don't need drama at airports this year robby LOL

First flight since psychotic years ago

No drama at airports from vaping please

Im surprised at the at the attitude they seem to have now, about liquids being carried on to the plane. I would have thought a brownish orange liquid in an unlabelled 30ml bottle would of had them running around, and rushing for the spectrum analyser.

Yeah I would have thought so too. My last experience when coming back to Tenerife from Gatwick was them pulling out my tube of toothpaste and swabbing the content

Mind you it was a Spanish brand of toothpaste so I suppose they weren't quite sure about it - but it still did look like a tube of toothpaste even though the writing on it was in Spanish - maybe she was just bored and needed something to do

Flew from Bournemouth a couple of weeks ago. Vaped openly in the terminal. The guy doing the security check was a vaper and hadn't seen a Provari before. Coming back the security guy was also a vaper and had to show me his Greek mod, cue smut. Vaped on the plane both ways just keeping the vape in my lungs for a long time. No vapour on exhale using a 60/40 mix.
Had the pleasure of watching Super-Shiny at work. He's as patient & helpful to passengers as he is to us on here.

I have an uncanny ability to look guilty whatever I do, so I am considering having "GUILTY" tattooed on my forehead ffs

I'm wondering about the unlabelled bottle as well - any reason for this ? (The not labelling it I mean)

The labels "should" have a poison warning triangle. It's easier to avoid any questions by taking the label off IMHO

Flying out to Europe soon so need to know what should get packed where... Is this right: liquids stored in bags in hold luggage along with vamo and LT minus their 18350/18650 batteries. Batteries stored in hand luggage along with gripper with clearo filled with eliquid.
Or does it really matter where you store your batteries?

Correct, batteries must go in your hand luggage. Just follow the usually advice about liquids in your hand luggage. Bulk liquids in your checked in luggage.

Remember to empty your clearos as the pressure will make them leak. Or carry another clear bag to separate them after passport control.
