Tim had an answer its the same set up I am used too so I don't see any issues with it not that I am encouraging you to break the law you understand ! Although as I said earlier I'd be very surprised if the Greeks had got round to making it law by summer so it may prove to be academic for now but a worrying sign all the same

Thank you so much, I think I just risk it, what's the worst that can happen? Slap on wrist and confiscated liquid. If that happens though I will end up on analogues

Apparently, according to a site I was reading some shops were raided by the police and liquid confiscated, whether it's true or not.... But me with 30ml and a riva (or similar) shouldn't cause an issue I'm sure....

As Raggy says, Ken who lives in Crete is a member here as well.

Plus of course, there is Imeo, who makes GG's & lives in Greece.

Just decant your juice into a sun tan oil bottle. Job done.

Make sure you don't smear it all over yourself on the beach though

Hi Tim, just noticed your post and can assure you that you will have no problem vaping or for that matter smoking in Rhodes as there is no ban for vaping.
You can safely carry your ecigs in your hand luggage and other than security being curios to what ecigs you are carrying you will not have a problem. Security staff are aware of ecigs and generally do not take them under their notice unless they do not recognise them and the worst that can happen is that they may ask you to demonstrate to satisfy their curiosity.

Do remember though that you need to display your eliquids in plastic bag when you go through security at both ends and they may ask you if they can test them to make sure they are not explosive and they may not.

So, you can take your ecigs and liquids on the plane with you.

You will not I assure you have a problem vaping anywhere in Greece and if you are in a no smoking area and you wan't to vape in a Taverna that does not allow smoking its still not a problem as long as you point out its not a cigarette.

Do not be surprised that even though Greece has a so called smoking ban that they still allow it in some Taverna's cafes etc as the regulations are different in Greece and not as severe as in the UK.

The Greek people are lovely, very friendly and helpful and I'm sure you will have a grand holliday.

I do hope this has helped allay your fears and I know you will enjoy Greek hospitality.

Ken.

Ken, it's so kind you took the time to read my post and put my mind at rest, we are so looking forward to visiting your country, we think the Greek people are lovely which is why we are going back for two weeks this year!

So glad vaping is ok over there, can't wait to go

Booked two weeks for the family to Rhodes in Greece, issue is that it appears Greece is banning Ecigs (and adding 20% tax to analogues, coincidence?). What to do? Do I just risk it and pack the LT and some juices or am I going to be forced to go back to analogues for two weeks (Or worse NRT).

What to do?

Hey mate,
I went to Greece 3 weeks ago and had no probs whatsoever, to be honest i didnt even consider any bans or anything! I took my ego T's with me in my suitcase and some juice and never had any trouble,

hope this helps
