Oh no not again, travel advice.

I know these questions have all been asked before but I can't find what I'm looking for.

When travelling on an aeroplane I'd like to know where everything vape related should go. I know the mod including inserted batteries and tank should be in hand luggage along with juices less than 100ml. Please correct that if I'm wrong.

I can't seem to find anything precise on a battery charger, specifically a 4 slot mains charger and the rules on spare batteries.

Any help and advice much appreciated.

Batteries always have to go in hand luggage not the hold.  Charger in either, doesn't matter.  Check the airlines policy online for a comprehensive list of do's and don't related to luggage items.
Liquids including eliquid, up to 400ml total liquid volume but has to be in bottles no larger than 100ml.  You can put them in the hold luggage but pack / seal them well, you know what the bag chuckers are like

When I went through Hong Kong airport a month or so back, the customs guys (who didn't speak a lot of English) went a bit crazy for 5 minutes when they asked me to open my bag and saw my very luminous green bottle of DIY "Green Envy" - I finally managed to convey "Vaping" through sign language and the response was "Oh. OK!"

When I came back, any surplus liquid had the tops taped up, was placed in sandwich bags and kept in a very large soap bag in my hold baggage....no problems there

Juice does NOT have to go in hand luggage, it can go in hold luggage, but if you do take it in hand luggage it must be no more than 1 ltr in no more than 100ml bottles, but don't forget that also includes all your sprays, creams etc and it must all fit in the plastic bag

Anything that contains Lithium Batteries of any kind including battery packs, 18650s etc MUST go in hand luggage, spares MUST be in plastic battery cases or have their contacts isolated with tape.

Normal battery chargers that connect to the mains can go in hold luggage.

tanks can be a problem due to cabin pressure, especially bottom airflow type, I usually take them off the mod, turn them upside down and pop them in the netting on the back of the seat in front, just remember to take it with you when you get off
