Help needed with Vaping and traveling to Cyprus.

[Roscopecotrain]

So we are off to Cyprus at the end of May for a friend's wedding. Only going for a week but I can't wait as not been abroad for 15 years now.

So just want a little low down on packing my Vaping gear for the flight and any info on Vaping in Cyprus please peeps.

Complete noob with Vaping and traveling so all help however small is appreciated.

Ross.

I just popped on here to try and find some similar info myself since we off to Tennerife on Sunday morning, so i'll be watching this thread with interest....

Knew i'd find an active thread or two since it's just the right time of year i guess.

I do know you need to keep any batteries in your hand luggage. You can take juice in your hand luggage too but needs to be in bottles 100 ml or less and you have to put it in a clear plastic sealed bag to go through security. Pretty sure it's allowable to put juice in your big suitcase that goes under the plane too, but some care needs to be taken to stop it from leaking... cling film around the nozzles, and then screw the cap on top of that is one tip i've heard.

Also i think i've heard that the less air in the bottle the better, since it's the change in air pressure that makes them leak... perhaps someone could confirm this? I've just been packing my juice and decanted into some little glass dripper bottles. I left very little room for air and screwed the caps on really tight.

Ah now i have heard no batteries allowed in your suitcase only in carry on luggage.

Think maybe an email or call to travel agent or airline is in need to be sure.

That's what i meant Roscopecotrain. Hand luggage is what you take on the plain with you isn't it?

I went to Cyprus last year,

I put all my batteries/mods in hand luggage , switched off but charged so you can show they will switch on, like laptops etc
Juices in luggage but open first squeeze out air and cover with cling film, put top back on, put in plastic bag , then plastic box, the contract and expand with heat of plane so may leak.

Rather than having juice in clearo in plane or airport I took a couple of cartridges that only hold a couple of ml, that way you won't be over the liquid restriction and they can see that.

Hope this makes sense

Went to Tenerife to spend me birthday with me ickle sister a couple of years ago. Didn't take any hold luggage, so everything was in me carry on!
That was before subtanks mind you so 100ml of juice was plenty for a week (in the clear plastic bag in hand luggage) LoL

Spare batteries are best having the terminals taped over to be on the 'safe' side.
Extra juice can go in hold luggage - as can spare devices - broken down and without batteries - ones with unremovable batteries in the hand luggage. Same with tanks etc aside from my 'Carry on Vape' - juice removed and possibly the coil removed too.

If anyone is also a member of UKV - Kenny (a regular poster on there) lives in Cyprus - so specifics could be asked on there.

Going to Ecuador and China - labelled anything that might be considered 'dodgy' in the local language - using microsoft translate and sticking them on - Electronic Cigarette Equipment/supplies.

Hope that helps

Been to Cyprus on a few occasions and apart from the advice above concerning where to pack the equipment , there are no issues at all, we were asked by a couple of the barmen or waiters what were we using, and they were quite intrigued. We stayed at Paphos and Protares

Have a great time

I went to Cyprus last year.

Basically,

Batteries in hand luggage, ideally in battery cases.
Juices in with other liquids in carry on luggage each container size must not exceed 100ml and must not exceed 1 litre in total for all liquids and carried in a small clear zip lock bag.
Bulk juice can go in your suitcase in the hold, I press as much air out as possible to the point where the bottles are depressed so that in the hold they can expand in the lower pressure. I also double bag them in zip lock bags.

If you want to keep a e-cig to use at the airport then you should have an empty tank when going through security. Just top it up from the juice in the clear bag.

If you're flying from Bristol there is still a smoking area on the right hand side of the departure lounge down he corridoor past the loos, but I have vaped up in the bar, just did not blow huge clouds and kept it inconspicuous.

Cyprus is quite Vape friendly with some good shops so if you need to get supplies there you should have quite a few choices, I saw quite a few when travelling around.

If you want to discuss anything with me message me on Facebook or i'll send you my mobile number.

Where are you going?

It's many years ago since I last flew abroad, and it was always a great experience.

I'm sure I'd soon be in my 'grumpy old man' state if I tried it now, having to go through all the checks, but I do realise it is necessary because of the idiots in this world. Just very sad that it has to be.
Have a great time Roscopecotrain & sonicflowjoe

Wow thank you so much for all your help everyone. Think I have it sorted now and know what I am doing.
DiscoDes we are going to Paphos.
