Air Travel

I have several needle tip bottles with the metal syringe type tips which I like. The aggravating thing is the gauge of the needle makes for either super slow filling or I squeeze to hard and it seeps from around the base of the cap. @#%+$&#&$!!! For the love of all that is holy...someone please tell me they know where to get wider gauge needle tips. I believe the color of the caps has to do with the actual gauge of the tips but for the life of me I can't seem to find an actual chart with those color codes. I know they make luer lock caps for bottles but I would rather have a one piece cap and not have to buy two separate items for one cap lol. Also I've been looking at the unicorn bottles. Do those tips work with rta's like the Lemo OG for example? Can I buy just the caps or do I have to buy the entire bottle? Also syringes don't travel well but I have several of those on hand already. The plastic needle tips are OK but I have had issues with them popping off in mid fill...sheesh what a mess. I have plenty of bottles... I would just like to find a decent needle tip cap with say a 16ga needle.  

Well just got back from vacation,took my Aegis solo and 2 full 100ml bottles of juice. All I took was a carry-on bag and my two bottles of juice were in my carry on bag. When I got to security I put my aegis solo with everything in my pockets in the bin and they didn't say a word about it, both ways.  

I'm flying to Denver tomorrow and this is the first time I've ever flown anywhere and want to know if I can bring my building tools with me when I fly. I'm talking mini screwdrivers, wire, scissors, wire cutters etc. would I be permitted to bring these items considering they're all less than 7 inches long?  

I'm travelling without checked luggage in two days from now. I know the rules about liquids having to each be under 3 oz. and in a plastic bag. Is it okay if the juices are already opened though? I bought two 30 oz. juices to take on the plane but now I want to dig into them because... they taste so good...

How many 30 oz. bottles can I take in one plastic bag?  

I've seen a few discussions on this in the search but none quite answered all of my questions. (most were about juice,18650 batteries, or domestic flights with 1 device)

I haven't flown internationally since I started vaping. I'm just wondering how/where to pack everything. I'm flying from the US to Italy via Russia. I'm going for awhile so i'm taking almost everything. For Juice and tanks/coils i'm just going to pack them in my checked bags. What i'm more worried about is what to do with batteries. All of my devices are internal batteries (istick, twists) so is it better to turn them off and take off the tank and pack them in checked? Or is it better to carry them on? I have quite a few (+ a friend's stuff) so i'd hate to carry them on but i'm worried they might get damaged because it gets pretty cold down in those luggage compartments. If I carry on them on do I have to take everything out for the security check like you have to with laptops and ipads? Is it better to keep tanks on them so TSA knows what they are or are they getting pretty familiar with what this stuff looks like. I don't want anything confiscated obviously but I can see how they look a bit suspicious without tanks.  

I've been vaping for about 2 1/2 yrs, got down to 3 mg juice over the last several months, was doing fine. I rarely drink anymore but a couple of weeks ago I got drunk and the 3 mg juice wasn't doing it so I got a pack of cigs. Now I'm having a hard time staying away from the cigs because the 3 mgs juice ain't satisfying the nicotine crave. I only smoke a few cigs a day but I'm ready to get off them completely again. I'm going to order some 12 mg and 6 mg juice and work my way down to my 3 mg again. I'm also going to keep some 12 mg handy for the next time I get a few beers in me.

Lesson learned!  

International Travelers

I am now in the US and I am going back to the Philippines for about a year.

I have a couple of VW box mods and a mech. tube mod along with 3 or 4 various atomizers. I also have a bunch of 18650 and 18500 batteries along with a couple of those skinny EGO style Twist batteries.

Since I make my own juice, I have some large bottles of VG and some 60mg Nic unflavored PG base, along with some bottles of flavorings.

I am thinking that everything I have goes into the checked bags except for the batteries which go in carry-on luggage ... does this sound right to you?


One thing else ... If I have a small EGO Twist battery with a small Kanger Aerotank Mini on top of it (for vaping at the airport once I get into Hong Kong), do you think I would have any problem with airport security if I put that in the TSA tray along with my other carry-on junk that's in my pocket before going though the metal detector? ... The Aerotank Mini in my pocket would have a little juice in it.

Thanks,  

I know y'all are the experts.

My husband and I are planning a trip to Cancun this fall. We're flying Delta. I know that Delta allows vape gear in carry on luggage.

However, I do not know if we are allowed to have our gear once we arrive at the airport in Mexico and/or return home from Mexico. I cannot find a definitive answer online.

Do any forum members know the answer? Has anyone traveled to Mexico recently, and what was your experience?

Btw: Preemptively stressing about this. My husband and I have been cigarette free for many years now, but we have never gone without vaping for any period of time.

Thank you!  

I've got 2 x bottles of Carolina 100mg PG liquid, both about 1 year old. I started mixing liquids with it today, and noticed that the nicotine mixture has begun to oxidize. This liquid is normally clear, but has begun to take-on a sort-of orange hue.

I mixed 2 x 60ml bottles of Mothers Milk, and 2 x my RY4 w/cheesecake and coffee. The oxidized nicotine liquid gives these liquids a tobacco-like throat hit that I haven't gotten since I quite smoking. It's the one thing that I've always missed about smoking. I could get this when mixing my liquids at 18mg, but never at 3mg.

I keep my liquids in the refrigerator, but I'm thinking I could maybe accelerate the oxidization process, by leaving the liquids unsealed?  

Hey guys,

So I ordered some 0mg bottles of eliquid 60ml online (full bottles not short fills) in a flavor that I have been vaping for awhile.

I took them to my local Vape shop and asked my usual guy to add nicotine to them. I normally smoke 6MG on my sub-ohm set up @ 0.2 ohms and 70w. So he added 6MG like he usually does.

When I got home it tasted weird. I would t say it was harsh, but it definitely had more of a throat hit / kick to it.

Normally @ 6MG I can pull / suck until I run out of breath and it comes out smooth. However this time I would hit it for 2-3 seconds and had to stop as it felt over powering.

As mentioned it wasn’t too harsh, and didn’t make me cough or anything. It just felt stronger and after a few puffs I felt a weird peppery feeling in my throat. Like I had just ate a spicy meal or food with a lot of pepper.

What could have gone wrong? I’m guessing 1 of the following things:

- He put in too much nicotine by mistake and more than 6MG? I called him after the fact, and he swears he put 6MG using the same calculations as always.

- He used the wrong type of nicotine? I normally always use 6MG freebase. Maybe he put in salts?

- Normally I give him 60ml short fills, this time I gave him full 60ml bottles. So maybe that screwed up his calculations of how much nicotine to add?

- His nicotine has gone bad / oxidized? Although the color of the juice looks normal and isn’t overly dark or red.

- Maybe I just need to let the juice sit for a few days for the nicotine to absorb into the liquid better? (Although this has never been an issue in the past)

Luckily I also asked him to add 3mg and 4.5mg to a few bottles (for my wife who prefers 3-4.5mg). I tested the 3mg and it tastes fine and smokes smooth. Although it does feel like the nicotine is a little too low for me. I then added some 4.5mg to my tank (which was half full of 3mg) and it seemed to be perfect. Like the 6MG I was used to in the past.

As this point I’m thinking to just get some 120ml chubby gorilla bottles and mix 60ml @ 3mg w/ 60ml @ 6mg and hopefully that will do the trick.

If anyone has any thoughts or ideas on what went wrong please let me know.

Thanks!
