Vaping Regulations in Denmark
Denmark regulates vapes under its Act on Electronic Cigarettes. According to Tobacco Control Laws, shops may only sell e-liquids with a tobacco or menthol flavor.
The law also sets a minimum sales age and a maximum nicotine strength, and it bans public advertising of e-cigarettes.
The flavor rule covers what shops can sell. Pack the e-liquid you need for your trip in your carry-on liquids bag.
Flying to Denmark With a Vape Pen
Yes, you can fly to Denmark with a vape pen, but only in your carry-on bag. TSA rules for vaping devices ban them from checked luggage.
You must take effective steps to stop the heating element from switching on by accident. Each lithium-ion battery must be 100 watt-hours or less, which covers almost all vape batteries.
The FAA says vapes must never be used or charged on the aircraft. Keep yours switched off or locked for the whole flight.
E-liquid in your carry-on follows the TSA liquids rule: bottles of 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) or less, packed in one quart-sized bag.

What are Vape Pens?
A vape pen is a small e-cigarette. It has a rechargeable battery, a heating coil and a tank or cartridge of e-liquid.
The coil heats the liquid into an aerosol that you inhale. Most e-liquids contain nicotine, which is highly addictive.
The FDA says e-cigarettes are not risk-free. They may lower risk for adults who switch completely from cigarettes, but people who don't use tobacco should not start.
Are Vape Pens Illegal in Denmark?
No. Vape pens are legal for adults in Denmark. Vaping is banned in schools, children's institutions, day-care centers, taxis and public transport, including passenger planes and ships.
Other workplaces and public places must set a written vaping policy, so check before you vape indoors.
Tips for Bringing a Vape Pen on a Plane
- Carry-on only: pack the vape and any spare batteries in your carry-on. If your bag is gate-checked, take them out first.
- Prevent activation: switch the device off or lock it, and keep spare batteries in a case away from keys and coins.
- Liquids: keep e-liquid bottles at 3.4 ounces (100 ml) or less, in your liquids bag. Pressure changes can make tanks leak, so carry them empty or in a sealed bag.
- No vaping on board: don't use or charge your vape on the plane or in the airport terminal.
- Check the destination: confirm the local rules before you go, and follow no-vaping signs once you arrive.
