Good luck with your trip and stay there From my experience, when staying in an area where you have limited sources for e-cig supplies, pack double the amount you would normally need for the period of time being away because of high probability of unplanned circumstances Just make sure you don't exceed the liquid limits for you hand luggage and also don't pack a lot of gear in there as it might look strange to a non vaper.
