Airport Security Checkpoint

The e-liquids needed to be in a transparent bottle which can be purchased in an airport and the amount allowed is usually around 1-litre. So you don't need to worry about the quantity. The transparent bottle at the airport also hinders the leakage of e-liquid as it is designed for the pressurised environment of a plane.

You should keep vape in your handbag or backpack to avoid any inconvenience during handling at the baggage carousel or during handling on and off a plane.

The batteries need to be scanned just like all the metal objects and you need to put them in with all those times. Li-ion batteries are not allowed in a plane, so you need to leave them there and buy new ones upon landing.

Keep the original case of the vape device and keep it in it. As the pack is designed for the device and will be perfectly fit in that. It will not allow unnecessary movement during flight and will keep the device safe. Moreover, if the airport staff is not familiar with the device, you can show them the original packaging to let them know about it.

On-Board Vaping

You cannot vape in the airport terminal as it is clearly stated on walls and generally understood. However, all big airports do have a smoking area where you can vape comfortably without any trouble. It is advisable to consult a security officer at the airport before you pull a stunt of vaping in the airport lounge. Onboard vaping is normally prohibited all over the world. SO it is advisable to not vape in an aeroplane
