but I never smoke in the airport

Just wanted to add that it also depends on the vape device you use, I mean a bigger model of a vape will probably be prohibited because of a bigger and more powerful battery that can explode in the airplane. Mine for example is a model of rifbar vapes (not an advertisement just leaving it for those who are searching for a small vape pod system) and is pretty handy and light which can be a perfect match for a carry-on. If you have a bigger model just keep in mind general rules: check airline rules for vapes, mind the liquid limits and look up local vaping laws to avoid surprises. Plus a solid case is key for keeping your gear safe))

I have never even heard of Rifbar. I just go for the old trusty XRos mini or Oxva Xlim. I am going to Ethiopia in January. one of the 3 countries where vaping is banned and then straight to Tanzania. I will take a few disposables with me, so if they gate takes at the airport, it is not a big loss. Then I will most likely buy a mod and some juice in Tanzania as soon I land there.

me too, have never heard about this brand before my friend got one and I tried it and I liked the taste (kiwi & passion fruit & guava)
yeah, that’s a great idea to buy a pod and juice already in Tanzania

I just ensure that a Gaur is ready and waiting for me when I land. Basically part of my rider to get me on a plane.

I did some quick research on Ethiopia. So Vaping and Shisha are banned, but a quick google search for vape shops in Ethiopia got a bunch of results. Not to mention Shisha lounges. There are loads of them. So now I am a lot less worried about taking some disposables with me.

Alright, VapeFam, got a little confession to make here. Just snagged myself three disposables for the Ethiopia trip at the end of January. Now, y’all know I’m not the biggest fan of disposables—I’ve been pretty vocal about that. Feels a bit like I’m breaking my own rules, you know?
But let’s keep it real. It’s a choice between these disposables and falling back on the nasty ciggies. No one wants that, and I sure as heck don’t. So, here I am, holding these little guys, feeling a bit like I’m betraying my usual mod squad. But hey, it’s about staying smoke-free on this trip, and if disposables are the ticket, then so be it.
Let’s hope the vape gods forgive me for this temporary detour. Stay cloudy, VapeFam!

I will be sharing my stories about vaping around Africa on eCigsSA in more detail. I am doing in a story format. If you guys want me to do the same here, just let me know and I will post my adventures here for you to enjoy. But I don’t want to force you to read my crappy writing if you don’t want to. I would rather use this platform to gather and share information about traveling with your vape kit.

Hey Vaping Community,
I’m reaching out to the awesome folks here for some creative input! As you know, I’m gearing up for my trip to Ethiopia, and my trusty vaping sidekick needs a name. It’s been my faithful companion, and I want to give it a moniker that suits its adventurous spirit.
The Challenge: Share your coolest, quirkiest, or downright epic name suggestions for my Travel Buddy in the comments below. I can’t wait to see what imaginative ideas you all come up with!
While I can’t swing an e-juice giveaway due to shipping constraints (I’m based in South Africa), I’ll make sure to give a virtual shoutout to the genius behind the selected name. Let the naming games begin!

This reminds me of a contest we had to name a friends first born and it was a girl. Vying for top picks were Clitoria and Mustang Sally. Can’t remember the chosen name. Good luck with the contest.

Nicotine in the No-Vape Zone: My Ugandan Adventure
Just back from a whirlwind trip to Uganda, and let me tell you, it was one hell of a ride. Now, before I get into the nitty-gritty, let’s talk about Uganda for a hot minute. Did you know it’s often referred to as the “Pearl of Africa”? Yeah, mate, it’s got stunning landscapes, lush greenery, and some friendly folks.
But here’s the kicker – vaping’s a big no-no over there. Yep, you heard me right. The government’s all about this “smoke-free Uganda” initiative, so puffing on your vape in public? Forget about it. I mean, I was expecting to see blokes puffing away on ciggies left, right, and center, but nah, the only ones I saw toking were a couple of Canadians.
So, there I was, a nicotine fiend in the land of no-vape, trying to sneak a cheeky puff whenever I could. Let me tell you, it was like playing hide and seek with my vape. I had to either duck into my hotel room for a quick fix or find some shady spot on the street to get my fix. Talk about rough, eh?
And as for finding a vape shop? Forget about it. Couldn’t find one if my life depended on it. No black market online either – it’s like vaping vanished into thin air. So, if you’re planning a trip to Uganda and you’re a vaper like me, I reckon you might wanna think twice. It’s a bloody tough gig for us nicotine addicts. Oh, and if you think you will get a chance to take a puff in the smoking lounge at the airport, good luck. No such thing.
But hey, don’t let that put you off visiting Uganda altogether. It’s still a ripper of a place with plenty to see and do. Just make sure to leave your vape at home, or you might find yourself in a bit of a pickle.
Until next time, keep on puffin’, and stay true to the vape life.

Us Canadians. Rule breaking 
No such thing in Toronto either, eh 
Once you go through security there’s no outdoor access at all. You can go out to smoke/vape but need to go through security again.
Now Cuba, last time I was there, once you got off the plane you’re free and clear to smoke anywhere.
