Yes, adults can bring a vape pen to Israel in their carry-on. E-cigarettes are legal there for adults, with limits on nicotine strength and where you can vape.

Can You Fly With a Vape Pen To Israel?

Vape Pen Use on Airplanes

Vapes go in your carry-on, never in checked luggage. TSA allows electronic smoking devices only in carry-on bags, and lithium-ion batteries must be 100 watt-hours or less.

Israeli airport security is thorough, so expect your bag to be searched. Keep the device switched off and e-liquid in your liquids bag.

Check travel advice too. The UK government advises against travel to some areas of Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories.

Israel’s Vaping Regulations

Israel regulates e-cigarettes as "smoking products." It bans their sale to anyone under 18 and caps e-liquid at 20 mg/ml nicotine.

Advertising and in-store display of smoking products are also heavily restricted.

Tips For Flying With Your Device

Bring a personal amount of e-liquid. Products stronger than 20 mg/ml can't be sold in Israel.

Are Vape Pens Illegal in Israel?

The Law on Vape Pens in Israel

No. It is legal to own, use and buy e-cigarettes in Israel if you are 18 or older.

Legal Use of Vape Pens

Israeli law bans using smoking products, including e-cigarettes, in indoor places such as government offices, hospitals, childcare facilities and schools.

Other indoor places, such as malls, restaurants and bars, may have designated smoking rooms. Vape only where smoking is allowed.

Penalties for Illegal Use

Vaping where it is banned can lead to a fine. Drug offenses are far more serious, and you can expect a prison sentence if you're caught with drugs, so never bring cannabis or THC products.

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.
