Can I Bring Vapes on a Plane?

Traveling with a vape can be confusing, as different airlines and countries have their own rules. If you're wondering whether you can bring your disposable vape or vape device on a plane, the short answer is yes - but with restrictions. Here’s everything you need to know to avoid issues when flying with your vape.

Can You Take Vapes on a Plane?

Yes, you are allowed to bring vapes on a plane, but there are specific rules you must follow:

• Vapes must be carried in your hand luggage or on your person. You cannot pack them in checked baggage due to airline safety regulations.
• E-liquids follow liquid restrictions. If you are carrying extra e-liquid, it must be in containers of 100ml or lessand placed in a clear, resealable bag, just like other liquids.
• You cannot use or charge vapes during the flight. Vaping is strictly prohibited on all commercial airlines.

Why Can't You Pack Vapes in Checked Luggage?

Vape devices, including disposable vapes, vape pens, and pod systems, contain lithium-ion batteries. These batteries pose a fire risk if damaged or exposed to pressure changes, which is why airlines do not allow them in checked baggage. Always keep your vape in your carry-on bag or pocket.

How to Pack Your Vape for Air Travel

To ensure a hassle-free journey, follow these packing tips:

• Turn off your vape device before boarding.
• Store it in a protective case to prevent accidental activation.
• Keep it easily accessible in your carry-on bag for security screening.
• If carrying extra e-liquid, follow the 100ml liquid rule and place it in your liquids bag.

Can You Bring Vape Pods or Cartridges?

Yes, pre-filled vape pods or cartridges can be brought on the plane, but they also must be in your carry-on bag. Like e-liquid bottles, they should be within the airline’s liquid limits (100ml per container).

Can You Vape in the Airport or on the Plane?

• Vaping is not allowed on airplanes. Using a vape during the flight can result in fines or even legal action.
• Some airports have designated smoking areas, where you may be allowed to vape. Always check the airport's policies before vaping.
• Do not attempt to secretly vape on a plane—airlines take vaping bans very seriously.

What About International Flights?

Laws regarding vapes vary between countries. While most allow vapes for personal use, some have strict bans on vaping products, including Thailand, India, and Australia. Before traveling, check the vaping laws of your destination to avoid fines or confiscation at customs.
