Ok, so now they want to put a ban on flying with vapor products.\u00a0 Could you imagine having to buy vape gear every time you land?\u00a0 Or having to ship your gear to your destination before you leave?\u00a0 Which, BTW, we may also not be able to do – Thanks for the frightening thought Brad.<\/p>\n

(Mental note – a vape shop RIGHT OUTSIDE an airport may be a good investment).<\/p>\n

Just ridiculous and scratching my head on how they’re going to enforce this.<\/p>\n

FIRST – When I first heard about this I thought they were after stealth vapers on the plane, NOPE – because the ban calls for gear in your checked bags as well.<\/p>\n

SECOND – If they’re going to enforce this ban, they had BETTER ban all electronic devices that use similar battery technology, anything less would be blatant discrimination.<\/p>\n

THIRD – If your tank is in one bag, and your device is in another, can that still be considered an “electronic smoking device”?\u00a0 One will not work without the other.<\/p>\n

FOURTH – We don’t use “electronic smoking devices” LOSER!\u00a0 If you’re going to ban it, you could at least understand it.<\/p>\n

FIFTH – Is a mech without an attachment or battery an “electronic smoking device” or just a metal tube?<\/p>\n

SIXTH – Is an Innokin MVP an “electronic smoking device” or a power bank?<\/p>\n

SEVENTH – Is ANYTHING with the following or similar attached an “electronic smoking device” or a flashlight?<\/p>\n

\"saber-flashlight\"<\/a><\/p>\n

EIGHTH – STOP VENTING YOUR BATTERIES IN PUBLIC – IT REALLY MAKES US LOOK BAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!<\/p>\n

Regardless if what I think (which has been a lot of piss and vinegar lately \ud83d\ude42 )…<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Always travel safely with your gear.\u00a0 If they have removable batteries, REMOVE THEM and keep them in a protected battery box.\u00a0 If they they don’t, power them down, keep them protected, and keep the atomizers separate.\u00a0 Let’s make sure that YOU are not the cause of the next media circus.<\/li>\n
  2. Follow CASAA’s call to action below…<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    National Call to Action – Take action to oppose a ban on flying with vapor products!<\/h3>\n

    Email This<\/a>BlogThis!<\/a>Share to Twitter<\/a>Share to Facebook<\/a>Share to Pinterest<\/a><\/p>\n

    Senate Amendment 3547<\/strong><\/a>, which would prohibit airline passengers from bringing \u201celectronic smoking devices\u201d on planes in their carry-on <\/b>and<\/b> checked baggage<\/b>, will possibly be considered as early as next week (week of April, 11th, 2016). The primary sponsor of SA 3547 is Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), who is an outspoken opponent to e-cigarettes. He has earned a reputation for promoting misinformation about these low-risk products.<\/p>\n

    Please take action NOW by calling your senators<\/b> and urging them to oppose this amendment. You can find contact information for your US Senators and talking points for your call HERE<\/b><\/a>.<\/p>\n

    Please also take a moment to send an email to your senators<\/b> urging them to oppose this amendment.<\/p>\n

    Take Action – <\/b>Send a Message<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n

    If this amendment is accepted, vapers will be forced to leave their batteries and devices at home or surrender them at TSA checkpoints<\/b> before being allowed through security.This would impose a completely unwarranted and unnecessary expense on travelers who vape.<\/p>\n

    Beyond the issue of flying with vapor products, the spirit of this amendment (prohibiting lithium ion batteries on board commercial flights) might as well include a ban on carrying ANY portable electronic device<\/b> in checked or carry-on baggage. Can you imagine not being able to travel with laptops or cell phones?<\/p>\n
