Traveling with your Vape

Hey! Traveling with your vape can definitely be tricky, but it’s great that you’re preparing ahead of time. Always check the airline regulations and the vaping laws of the country you’re visiting, like Angola, since they can vary a lot. I’ve found that carrying your vape gear in your carry-on is usually safer, and make sure to pack extra batteries and e-liquid carefully to avoid leaks. Looking forward to hearing everyone’s tips and experiences!

Firstly, welcome to the forum.

Angola is easy. The only places I have been to with strict laws on vaping is Ethiopia and Uganda. Fortunatly, they know all about disposables, but they have no clue when it comes to mods, so when they ask me what it is, I tell them it is my asthma inhaler. Works every time.

The Nairobi leg of the trip was business as usual—big city, endless meetings, and that familiar city buzz. But the real adventure kicked off with our road trip to Nanyuki, and let me tell you, this was next level.

We hit the road early, anticipating a four-hour drive to cover around 200-300 km due to the road conditions. When our driver mentioned lunch at the airport, I wasn’t exactly thrilled. But I couldn’t have been more wrong. The Nanyuki “airport” turned out to be more of an airstrip with a cozy little restaurant called Barney’s. This spot was a hidden gem—chilled vibes, great food, and a perfect place to recharge before heading out for the day.

After lunch, we drove out of town, en route to meet a client on a game reserve. The journey was hours on dirt roads, surrounded by stunning landscapes and a crazy mix of wildlife and livestock. Zebras were everywhere, casually chilling among sheep, goats, cattle, and the Masai people going about their day. What started as a business trip quickly turned into an unexpected African safari, all under the watchful eye of Mount Kenya.

We had a dinner reservation at Jambo Mutara Camp, and that experience was unforgettable. Just as we entered the reserve’s gate, a mother elephant and her baby greeted us. And, oh man, the baby elephant sneezed! Have you ever seen a baby elephant sneeze? It’s got to be the cutest thing you could ever witness.

Dinner was surreal. We had drinks on the patio, overlooking a watering hole while the sun dipped below the horizon, painting the sky in those deep reds and oranges that only Africa can deliver. Just as our food arrived, the unmistakable roar of a nearby lion cut through the evening air. The soundtrack to dinner? Pure, untamed wilderness.

On our way out, we got up close and personal with a lioness lounging in the road. We didn’t spot her until we were almost on top of her—it was pitch black, and you could actually smell her presence. This was raw nature at its finest. We spent the night in a guest lodge, far from the city lights, falling asleep to the haunting calls of jackals and hyenas.

I wish we could have stayed longer, but it was back to Nairobi for more meetings. Nanyuki was pure magic, though—a mix of adventure, wildlife, and unforgettable experiences. If you ever get a chance, don’t pass it up. This was more than a trip; it was a true escape into the wild.

Just a quick update from Kenya! I’ve spent more time exploring Nanyuki, and I’ve got some new stories to share when I get back home. Reaching the end of this 3-week journey, and I can’t wait to be home with my fiancée and my puppies. Stay tuned, folks. More to come!

Well, folks, it’s time to say goodbye to one of my favorite threads—Traveling with Your Vape. From wild road trips across Africa to blowing massive clouds in the middle of nowhere, it’s been an epic ride. Sharing my adventures with you all has been an absolute blast.

Of course, none of this would’ve been possible without my trusty companion, the Wanderlust Fogmaster. That device has been through it all—scorching deserts, humid jungles, and even a questionable Tuk-Tuk ride (don’t ask). It’s been the real MVP of my travels, never letting me down no matter where I ended up.

I’ll admit, it’s bittersweet to see this thread coming to an end, but with VC shutting down, it feels like the right time to wrap it up. That said, the adventures aren’t over! I’ll still be out there exploring and cloud-chasing, and I’ll be posting photos of my travels (and my Fogmaster, of course) on Instagram. So, if you want to keep up with the journey, follow me @Old_Goat_82.

Thank you to everyone who followed along, shared your own stories, and made this thread such a great part of the VC experience. It’s been one heck of a journey, and I hope my tales brought a smile to your face—or maybe even sparked a bit of wanderlust in you.

Here’s to the next adventure, wherever it may take us. Stay safe, keep the clouds thick, and never stop exploring!
