You can usually fly to the Faroe Islands with a vape pen in your carry-on bag. We could not verify the Faroese rules on e-cigarettes, so check locally before you travel.

Can You Fly With a Vape Pen To Faroe Islands?
Understand the Laws About Vaping
The Faroe Islands are a self-governing part of the Kingdom of Denmark, with their own parliament and many of their own laws. Danish rules on e-cigarettes may not apply there in the same way.
We found no official English-language source on Faroese vaping law. Ask your airline or the Faroese authorities if you need a firm answer.
Check With Your Airline Beforehand
The TSA allows electronic smoking devices only in carry-on baggage, not in checked bags. Airlines serving the Faroe Islands follow the same carry-on rule for lithium-battery devices.
If you connect through Denmark, note that Danish law bans using e-cigarettes on passenger planes and public transport.
Prepare To Declare Your Device At Customs
A vape for personal use is not normally something you need to declare. If you carry a large amount of e-liquid or are unsure, ask a customs officer on arrival rather than hiding it.

Are Vape Pens Illegal in Faroe Islands?
Vape Pen Laws in Faroe Islands
We found no official source showing that vape pens are banned in the Faroe Islands. Claims online that they are illegal there are unverified.
Treat local smoking rules as applying to vaping too. Don't vape indoors in public places unless you know it is allowed.
Penalties For Possessing/Using Vape Pens In The Region
We found no published penalties for possessing or using a vape pen in the Faroe Islands. If staff or officials ask you to stop vaping, do so.
Alternatives To Vaping In The Region
If you'd rather not bring a vape, pack nicotine replacement products, such as patches or gum, from home instead.
If you're thinking about quitting nicotine, a doctor or pharmacist can help you choose an option.

Tips for Bringing a Vape Pen on a Plane
Research Regulations
Check your airline's rules before you book. TSA notes that airlines may limit how many vaping devices each passenger can carry.
Rules at your destination and at any transit airport can be stricter than at home, so check those too.
Pack Carefully
Pack your vape and any spare batteries in your carry-on bag, never in checked luggage. TSA limits each lithium-ion battery to 100 watt-hours, which covers almost all vape batteries.
Switch the device off or lock it so it can't fire by accident. Keep spare batteries in a case, away from keys and coins.
E-liquid in your carry-on follows the liquids rule: containers of 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) or less. Close tanks and pods tightly, since pressure changes in flight can make them leak.
Never Vape on the Plane
Never vape on the plane, including in the bathroom. Wait until you have left the terminal and are somewhere vaping is allowed.
