If you have the reg off just put it in your luggage and if you get stopped (I very much doubt if you will) tell them its a vase!
There is no reason you should not be allowed it, it is NOT a pressure vessel unless it has a reg/top on

Flown with United before with kit and they were cool with bottles without regs, perhaps you just got the office ******* when you rang. If they ask you what it is when you fly just put your monocol on and say it's your snuff case then guffaw a bit
