Does anyone know please if it is ok to fly with an e cigarette the ones that you put a bit of liquid in and they charge up via a sub port on a computer in your hand luggage I would hate to have it confiscated as has been very effective in helping me quit, thanks for any advice :)

Taken mine many times and never had a problem........

Is that because Customs haven't discovered it ?? Having said that, we actually saw more than one passenger actually using one of these stupid looking things in the passenger cabin !!

Two things to remember.
Firstly, they are banned in Turkey. It is possible (although unlikely) that you can have them confiscated. We have witnessed this first hand (last year) Having said that we also saw many many people using them quite openly without any problems at all.
Secondly, you need to (or should) disassemble the e-cig BEFORE you board the plane. An unassembled e-cig is usually ok to take on board but an assembled one is not allowed by almost all airlines. It's a case of a liquid and a battery together and this is not allowed.
This is just about the best blog I've found for travelling with e-cigs and it contains a list, country by country regarding where e-cigs are banned.

Yes

They are not actually banned in Turkey, although there seem to be plans to do so, as far as I know, they have not yet been implemented you can still legally buy the machines on line....

I have had no problems at all at UK airports or dalaman and Istanbul and was openly puffing away at all of the airports. As far as I am aware the import for sale is banned but not personal use

Isn't it strange, & wrong , that guns can be bought quite legally over the counter in Turkey, but these silly vaping things cannot ?? On a slightly different subject, I wonder just how many ex-pats are aware that the sale of fireworks to " Yabancilar " is illegal in Turkey, but not to the indigenous population ?? !!

I flew back from prague yesterday and took two electric e cigs with me on an easyjet flight and had no problems at all,they placed them in a plastic sealed bag for screening and that was it.I was allowed to smoke them in the hotel and every where else in prague.Turkey wants to ban them so that the sales of tobacco etc does not go down i suppose.

A bit off topic isn't it. Thought we were talking about vaping\e cigarettes in hand luggage not hand guns and fireworks.. ;)

Interesting though Philrose. :)

Thanks everyone well after all that because my memory is so appalling of late I completely forgot it was in my hand luggage but must have been ok as I never got stopped. ;)
