Flying out of DFW to Aruba with a vape pen?

That's pretty much it, has anyone done it flying out of Dallas? Do they treat carts differently if it's domestic or international? I know it's a very strict state but how does TSA usually act?

I wouldn't risk it, myself. Aruba's no Singapore or Indonesia, but they still might not take kindly to someone bringing in drugs.
If it were me I'd just bring some cash, give a bartender a good tip, and ask if he knows where you can get some weed.

I've done domestic plenty of times with a vape pen but wouldn't risk an international flight. Their laws could be crazy and next thing you know you're getting 130 lashes and 10 yrs hard labor.

A nicotine vape pen or a thc vape pen? Ive taken disposable and non disposable nicotine vapes and vape juice with me with zero issues. Per TSA, they are allowed but they'll need to be in your carry-on since they dont want the batteries in checked bags.

The post is implied to be THC based on the wording

Aruba considers what you want to do as drug trafficking. Act accordingly.

I would universally not fly with THC products. You are sitting in the 'most don't care' region that can easily cross over to 'becomes a huge fucking deal' for a couple hits. Not worth the risk.

Just put it in your carryon or carry it with you. I've never been hassled by TSA for that kind of small stuff.

I think there's generally some risk there but fwiw, I have flown plenty of times through dfw with pens in my carryon both internationally and not

Thanks, disposable or screw on?
ElephantForgets@reddit
Both, but more usually its disposables for me these days. I usually have one on me and then the others in my backpack and they don't go searching or anything. One time a TSA fella picked it up and looked it and handed back, i think generally they don't care cuz they're worried about other things.

Sounds good... I'll probably get disposable because of the discreetness and you can't see the oil very well with the brand I use. I'll just say it's nicotine and take off any labeling

I've known two people who were jailed for a month before extradition for having weed upon arriving in Aruba fwiw

Flower or a pen?

It’s illegal, but no one cares.

You're going to have to use your prison pocket.

Been through DFW plenty of times with work and TSA there is pretty much same as anywhere else. They don't really care about vapes in your carry-on, just don't put it in checked bags cause of the battery
International vs domestic doesn't matter for TSA screening - they follow same federal rules either way. The difference comes when you land in Aruba, their customs might have different rules about bringing stuff in
Just keep it in your carry-on with other electronics and you should be fine at DFW
