Vapes on Planes - Traveling With Vaporizers

[TwistedGray]

@TwistedGray please consider this - it ain't worth your life like @t-dub says.

No worries, I might take a disposable but then again might not (we'll see how crafty I want to be).

In Thailand the cannabis commonly available is brick weed and it is putrid. The mushrooms are not much better.

Cannabis is available in Taiwan and China although contacts are required.

Good to know, thx.

@TwistedGray - I'm hoping you see this, but to echo one more time, don't take drugs to Asia. You aren't as clever as they are, and they don't have the TSA. The folks at the airports in SE Asia are LOOKING for you. If you get caught, your life as you know it will be over. Don't.

Fair enough...thanks for the continued reminders.

Speaking of asia, singapore is another zero tolerance country

 

[t-dub]

You would be very foolish to bring cannabis to either China or Taiwan. Very fucking foolish.

I think people need to realize the truth of this statement.

It also applies to other areas as well which are even worse. Just don't do it . .. please. If you're going to try make sure you let us know how it works out . . . if you can.

Even I, the stupid one, wouldn't try to bring drugs to the Far East.

Thinking of driving with some edibles into Canada. Anyone had any issues heading from US to BC? Thx

Flying domestically, what's the deal with bringing a 18650 battery or two along?

Is there an "acceptable" way to do this?

Carry-on only, you'll be fine I imagine

What about mixing weed juice with 40-50% flavoring and put it inside a unicorn bottle ?

What about weed chocolate inside an airtight container and put inside a check in bag ?

Going taiwan, anyone tried this ? Thanks

What about spending years in jail in a country that definitely does NOT share our view of civilized treatment of inmates. hmmmm?

Do you think you would enjoy the benefits of prison food and unlimited anal sex?

Weed chocolate that doesn't have THC or a on it, I guess. The times that I have brought weed into a non-permissive environment, I have put Clear concentrate in geltabs in a bottle of vitamin E. I would wash the outside of each tab with iso and probably put it in a sealed ziploc, which I'd also then wash with iso. I'd put it in the checked luggage. This was cross country domestic. International a lot different.

Taiwan is actually, I've heard, the toughest of the 'modern' Asian states to score in and on enforcement. I was involved in a vape development project with integrated contract manufacturers in Taiwan and they're scared to death of having it around.

All tests for thermal stability, draw rates, efficiency, were done with tobacco or chamomile. It's 'available' as noted above and the local fixer guys who usually help tourists around know where to get it, but it's not anything worth going to prison over.

Well, none of it is, but this stuff especially.

Guys I used to live in Taiwan. I have been in Asia pretty much since 2001. I have used cannabis in Japan, Taiwan, Korea, HK, Cambodia and Thailand. If you want it bad enough it can be found in any of these places. If you import it yourself you are truly stupid and deserve whatever happens to you. Take advantage of the friendly local organisations who have already imported it or grown it for you.

EDIT: Just want to add that if you do try to procure some herb in Asia you must be discrete and extremely careful. Vape privately behind locked doors and ventilate the room you are in. Remote locations are possible also but even still trust as few as possible and dont fuck around.

I need to also add that most flower in Asia is low grade cabbage. Hash is mofe reliable. To get premium imported flower you need contacts that you are not likely to make in a short time. Bottom line is Asia is not somewhere you travel to to use or buy cannabis.

I need to also add that i am vaping high quality flowers right now lol.

Weed chocolate that doesn't have THC or a on it, I guess.

Find chocolate that has a nonMJ counterpart and mix it up. However, mix it up in a way that you can tell the different and you should be okay. OR make your own by melting down whatever you bought and re packaging it to remove any symbols from the chocolate. It might still smell of MJ...if so, add some coffee beans in the same bag...that may work to disguise?

If immigration/customs has a picosecond laser molecular scanner you will be fucked no matter what you do. That thing can tell you what you had for breakfast, adrenaline levels in your body etc . . .

 

[Baron23]

Having also been in that part of the world for some years earlier in my life, I am astounded at the tenacity shown by some to try to figure out some way to smuggle drugs into Asian countries.

I have seen jails in the Philippines and S. Korea when getting some guys in my unit out of lock up. I'm telling you right now that your delicate American sensibilities cannot imagine what its like.

I personally don't care if if its on one in a billion chance of being caught, its shit stupid to try it.

Oh, you may get away with it and think that Baron is just an hysterical snowflake.

On the other hand, if you do get caught you will have LOTS of time between beatings, rape, and roaches to think back on how many people told you NOT TO DO IT.

Fuck....it ain't like you got a bad heroin addiction and can't travel without a fix.

If I was in a place like that and I even managed to get high, I think I'd be too 'noid to really enjoy it

 

[stinkytofus]

I decided to get stuff there instead of bringing, dont want a ruined vacation lol

 

[FlyingLow]

Wow... some people just don't get it.

 

[grokit]

So about lighters... from what I can tell a bic/zippo in checked luggage is ~okay, while jet-flame lighters need a special ata-approved case. But no kind of lighter, no way no how in any carry-on luggage right?

Watched my brothers ECig go through the scanner and you couldn't see any internals, just the outline.

They can 100% see the internals of your device! I believe the machines even auto tag suspicious items, the agents don't even need to search for threats anymore to find stuff. The modern machines at least are super advanced, they can find the density of individual objects in your bag to tell if an item matches up with what would be expected of a pen or whatever of that size.

During my last trip to Cuba I got stopped at Canadian security because there was a ~3" pin acting as a hinge in a phone mount I purchased; the agent was convinced this was a nail I could use to hijack the plane so he bravely stopped me to search my bag. The pin was inside a solid plastic frame, you could not see it from the outside or remove it without totally destroying the object which would require hulk like strength or a hammer. The device was in a pouch, in a electronics organizer amongst many cables and stuff, in my backpack. The took each item out of my back pack one at a time and scanned them looking through the items for this stupid totally inaccessible pin.

Not saying don't fly with your vape or that they catch everything, just saying after my last experience I wouldn't do anything unnecessary that would be seen as suspicious. I'd rather just clean and bring my vape along openly then stash it inside something and get auto-flagged by a computer.

Best post on this thread.

I don't get it either. To each his own I guess.

 

[TwistedGray]

If you want to be thoroughly (read: overly) cautious you can carry the battery on you but put the vape in your checked luggage (that's what I typically do). There is nothing illegal about transporting a vape within the USA.

Call TSA with any concern, but I ask every time I fly just to see what different answers I receive. I've always been told (regardless of my destination) that it is fine and that they just ask me to make sure that I do not check it in. The reason is the lithium battery...that's all.

Leaving in a week or so on a trip to Mexico from Canada that involves a layover in the US. I plan on taking my Haze vape a grinder and accessories but no cannabis. None of the items I will be taking are new and I will clean them all as best I can. Will I encounter any problems?

What have others experiences been doing something similar. I know last year when I landed in the same airport in Mexico (Huatulco) that there were sniffer dogs checking all the incoming passengers for drugs and they gave me a very good sniff and seemed to hang around me until their handlers yanked them away to go somewhere else without saying anything to me. I did not have any vape or accessories with me but my carry on pack had been holding small amounts of cannabis over the years. I pre-clear customs in Canada for the US but then go through 2 other airports in the US including an overnight in Houston.

Will I encounter any problems? Should I re-think my plan?

Thanks

Returned from my trip a week ago and thought I would post an update on how things went. I flew with my Haze, cans and batteries in my carry on, left the grinder in my checked bag. Had everything except the batteries in a smell proof bag. Totally cleaned everything before leaving and again for the return. Never was asked about anything. In Mexico the dogs give everyting a long sniff. My bag was covered in dog drool. I even got the red button in Mexico which means further inspection but all they did was xray the bag and I didnt even have to open it.

Once there, finding herb wasnt hard but it wouldnt burn very nice at all in my vape and I really didn`t want to combust. Tried some local hash (very sticky) but it too didnt burn even at the highest temp setting. Then I found some kief and that turned out totally amazing. Mixed it with some flower to make a sandwich and it was great. Much less smell and smoke than pure flower but much more effective. Too bad kief is not available where I live or if it is around it is too expensive.

Coming home I went through security in Mexico and twice in the US. Rules say to carry personal vaporizers in carry on not checked so thats what I did.
