Checkpoint for Vape Cigatettes
A friend just told me that they were stopped at a checkpoint this week, at San Ignacio, and they only asked if they had for vape cigarettes.
Can anyone enlighten me on this? Why would they look for vape cigarettes?

They bother me once in a while for those but I just say no THC. I offered one up one time and the guy tried it and it was actually CBD, I just smiled
and said tenga un buen dia.

These 18yr. old Army dudes, are often not the most
sophisticated. They can be foefully uniformed. Had one
pull a glue plunger out of the glove box, used for an
inflatable, thought it was a hypodermic

In Mexico, like the US, you have Federal, State, and local laws, that are not all on the same page, for example Marijuana, in the US, federal and
state laws may be different.
Although you may be legally allowed to vape in Mexico, it could be the imports of vape cigarettes or some aspect of the cigarette are prohibited in
Mexico, but the laws are always quickly changing.
It could be the the military at the San Ignacio, check point, wanted to mess with traveler because he/she looked young, and fit the profile of
someone who would vape.

No he didn't, I have refillable tank and I had the guys at the vape shop put the CBD oil in a regular bottle marked with the flavor only. He took a
hit and it tasted like whatever the flavor was and said esta bien and off I went.
He did want me to give it to him tho and returning thru that check point, he slowed me down and ask me for it again, I told him I'd bring him one next
time.

always hide your drogas folks 
just drove up to San Diego from Loreto and back down again, RV was stopped and searched at every checkpoint going northbound
southbound we were only briefly searched at San Ignacio, they have got a pretty bad rep there, lots of people getting crap stolen during the
inspections in the past.
maybe they are trying to turn it around as they were being extra friendly this time and when they noticed I was keeping an eye on them rifling through
my stuff they told me to come up inside the camper so I could watch him better
but you never know whos going to be manning the checkpoint on a given day, best to keep an eye on everything always

Have to be barter;
I suspect most of those child soldiers have no money. 
Edit: Upon investigating, it appears that a common soldier is paid some $10,000/month. I would imagine most of it goes to their family, but that's by
no means a slave wage...
