Yes, you can bring a vape pen to Iceland in your carry-on. Vaping is legal for adults, but it is banned in many indoor places.

Can You Fly With a Vape Pen To Iceland?

Overview of the Rules

Iceland regulates e-cigarettes under its Act on Electronic Cigarettes and Refill Containers, No. 87/2018. Adults can bring a personal vape into the country.

On the flight, TSA allows electronic smoking devices only in carry-on bags, never in checked luggage. Iceland's airport and airlines follow the same rule.

Packing Your Vape Pen Properly

Switch the vape off or lock it, and pack spare batteries in a case in your carry-on.

Put e-liquid bottles in your liquids bag and seal tanks in a plastic bag in case they leak.

Vaping Laws Within The Country

The UK government warns that it is illegal to smoke or use e-cigarettes in restaurants, bars, public transport and public buildings in Iceland, and you could be fined.

Icelandic law also bans vaping in places such as healthcare facilities and venues for children. Vape outdoors, away from others.

Are Vape Pens Illegal in Iceland?

Legislation on Vape Pens in Iceland

No. Vape pens are legal in Iceland, and no license is needed to own or use one.

Iceland bans the sale of e-cigarettes and refill containers to anyone under 18. Nicotine e-liquid is limited to 20 mg/ml, and advertising of e-cigarettes is banned.

Penalties for Breaking Vaping Laws

Vaping where it is banned can lead to a fine. We could not confirm specific fine amounts, so check signs and local guidance.

How Can I Legally Use My Vape Pen?

Use your vape outdoors or in private spaces where the owner allows it, and keep it away from bars, restaurants, buses and public buildings.

Never bring cannabis products: Iceland treats even small amounts of illegal drugs, including cannabis, severely.

Tips for Bringing a Vape Pen on a Plane

Pack It in Your Carry-On

Vapes and spare batteries belong in your carry-on bag or on your person, never in checked luggage.

If the airline takes your carry-on at the gate to check it, remove the vape and any spare batteries first.

Stop It From Firing

Switch the device off or lock it so the heating element can't activate in your bag.

Carry spare batteries in a case so the terminals can't touch keys, coins or other metal.

Pack E-Liquid With Your Toiletries

E-liquid counts as a liquid at security, so each bottle has to meet the 3.4 oz (100 ml) carry-on limit at most airports.

Pressure changes in flight can push liquid out of a tank, so travel with tanks empty or sealed in a plastic bag.

Don't Vape or Charge on Board

Vaping is not allowed on commercial flights, including in the restroom, and you shouldn't charge the device on the plane.

Leave THC at Home

Never travel internationally with THC or cannabis vapes. Cannabis is still illegal under US federal law, and many countries punish it severely.
