Alright, listen up, y’all. Gonna tell ya ’bout this here vape thing and them airport folks, the TSA, ya know? Heard some folks gettin’ all worked up ’bout it, so let’s set the record straight.
Now, I ain’t no fancy lawyer or nothin’, but I know a thing or two ’bout common sense. You wanna take your vape on the airplane, you put it in that little bag you carry on, the one you keep with ya. Don’t go puttin’ it in the big suitcase they throw around underneath the plane, ya hear?
Will them TSA folks take your vape? Naw, they ain’t gonna take it. They got better things to do than mess with your puffin’ stick. They just wanna make sure you ain’t carryin’ nothin’ dangerous, like a bomb or somethin’. Your vape ain’t no bomb, unless you got it rigged up all crazy, which I hope you ain’t!
They gonna make you take it out of your bag? Probably not. Most times, they just run it through that there x-ray machine, see what’s inside. If it looks alright, they let it go. Maybe, just maybe, they might ask ya to take it out, take a peek at it. But that ain’t nothin’ to worry ’bout. Just show ’em, be polite, and you’ll be on your way.
- Batteries are important! Them little batteries, those are what they worry ’bout. See, them batteries can catch fire if they ain’t handled right. So, do yourself a favor, put them batteries in a separate little plastic case, like the smart folks say. That way, they ain’t gonna rub up against nothin’ and start a fire. TSA likes that, keeps everyone safe.
- Juice ain’t no big deal. Got that juice you put in your vape? The stuff that makes the flavor? Yeah, that’s fine too. Just put it in a little baggie, ya know, like them Ziploc bags? That way, if it leaks, it don’t get all over your stuff. TSA don’t care ’bout your juice, long as it ain’t too much. Keep it small, like them little bottles they sell.
Now, some folks say you gotta be real careful ’bout your vape turnin’ on by itself, heatin’ up and all that. Well, yeah, that’s true. You don’t want that happenin’. So make sure it’s turned off good, real good. And if it’s got a button you gotta push to make it work, make sure that button ain’t gonna get pushed by accident. Common sense, people, common sense.
I heard tell of folks gettin’ their bags checked at the gate, right before they get on the plane. If that happens, just remember what I told ya. Keep them batteries separate, keep your juice in a baggie, and make sure your vape is turned off. Do that, and you ain’t got nothin’ to worry ’bout.
So, there ya have it. Don’t get all flustered ’bout takin’ your vape on the plane. It’s allowed, long as you follow the rules. TSA ain’t out to get ya, they just wanna keep everyone safe. Be smart, be prepared, and you’ll be puffin’ away on your vacation in no time.
Just remember: carry-on bag, batteries in a case, juice in a baggie, vape turned off. That’s it. Simple as pie.
