Have you been thinking about travelling to a foreign country in the near future? If your answer to that question is yes and you like vaping, you have an incredibly difficult task ahead of you – how are you meant to take your vape kit with you? Do you just put it in your pocket?
These days, airline regulations are really tough, which means that a checked bag filled with essential vaping materials is likely to put you in trouble. On top of that, vaping at UK airports and airports in other parts of the world can be an issue, as each airport has its own set of rules.
Fortunately, this article should help you understand how to go about travelling with your vape kit! Here, you will find a list of tips on doing it, including familiarizing yourself with the local vaping laws and transporting your supplies. Check it out!
Knowing the Local Vaping Laws
You might not be aware of this, but there are many countries around the world that banned the use of vaping devices. Others do not allow vaping outside of smoking zones and in public places. If you are caught, you will face severe penalties.
It is worth noting that laws on vaping can change in a matter of months. Because of that, it would be best if you looked for up-to-date information online and got in touch with the embassy of the country that you will be visiting.
Transporting Your Supplies
Ideally, you should place your vape kit in your carry-on luggage. If that is not an option, you should put it in your pocket. If you put it in your checked luggage, you will have to either transfer it to your carry-on luggage or throw it away.
It is a bit different when it comes to e-liquids. If you are carrying your e-juice with you, it is to be put in a one-hundred-millilitre travel-sized container and transported in a one-quart transparent zip-top plastic bag.
If you are planning on bringing a larger bottle with you, you should transfer the e-juice from the bottle to smaller containers. You can buy such containers in most drug stores and large supermarkets.
Packing Your Supplies
There are two things that you will need to keep in mind when packing your supplies. Firstly, you need to protect your belongings from vape spills. Secondly, you need to wrap specific pieces of your vape kit in order to protect it from getting damaged.
For starters, empty your vape tank, as the air pressure changes in the cabin can cause it to leak. Next, place your vape supplies in plastic bags, and put these plastic bags in waterproof pouches and dry bags. If you have money to spare, you can always get your hands on a
protective vape case – you just need to find one that fits your vaping device’s specifications. When it comes to wrapping things, you will need to buy bubble wrap and tape. Start with wrapping your mod, tank, and other accessories in the bubble wrap. Next, place them in a plastic bag and seal the bag with tape. If you own a pod mod device, wrap it in the bubble wrap and just put it in your pocket.
Lastly, you will need to take care of your e-liquids. To do that, seal the bottles with tape and wrap each bottle in bubble wrap. Once you are done, place each wrapped bottle in a plastic freezer bag.
Vaping at the Airport
In most airports, vaping is treated the same way as smoking. If you see signs saying that you cannot smoke, it is safe to say that you cannot vape, either. You can always vape in designated smoking areas, though.
Vaping on the Plane
You might have heard of people stealth-smoking on planes. It might sound fun, but in reality, it can put you in a lot of trouble. For instance, if the country that you are travelling to banned the use of vaping devices, you might end up being arrested once the plane lands. Because of that, you should not do it.
In Conclusion
To sum up, there are many different things that you need to think about before you decide to travel with your vape kit. Most importantly, you need to familiarize yourself with the local vaping laws and regulations. Otherwise, you risk being fined.
In addition to that, you should pack your supplies the right way, preferably using bubble wrap, plastic bags, and tape. It is incredibly important, as you do not want to end up with a broken vape kit and vape spills.
Lastly, it might be obvious, but it should be said anyway – you should not vape on the plane. It might put you in a really problematic and stressful situation, which is the last thing you want to be dealing with while travelling.
In conclusion, if you follow the tips mentioned in this article to the best of your abilities, travelling with your vape kit should be easy as pie!
