Are there any restrictions on bringing vape pens (non-TCH) through TSA or BVI customs? Asking for a friend.

As a sidebar and more serious..but a US citizen just spent 6 weeks in jail on Tortola for carrying a gun on his private jet..even though he had a US permit for it.. A fine of $50,000 and time served finally got him released with his plans of buying a multi $$$$ home in the BVI's in ashes and his psyche severly damaged. Every country has its own rules.... Follow the rule of the country you are visiting!

Follow the rule of the country you are visiting! I am trying to think of a recent example of that. There must be something!

A friend of mine went to Tortola a few months ago with a couple of friend's of his through STT. One of his "friends" thought it would be a good idea to bring an ounce of weed and 10 grams of cocaine in his checked luggage. This one "friend's" luggage didn't make it out with the others. When it did appear and he claimed it he was detained... Here is the crazy part. He was ordered to pay a $500 fine on the spot and let go after being held for about an hour. Don't believe that would be the case coming into the BVI or returning to a US territory.....

From what I heard from friends of the gun toting private jet owner his time at Huntums Ghut was very like "Midnight Express"....not the kind of six week "vacation" he was used to..
