What is a Vape Pen?

A vape pen is a small battery-powered device that heats e-liquid into an aerosol you inhale. Most e-liquids contain nicotine, which is addictive.

Tips for Bringing a Vape Pen on a Plane

Here are the key rules for flying with a vape.

Check TSA Regulations

The TSA allows vapes in carry-on bags only. Each lithium-ion battery must be 100 watt-hours or less, and you must protect the device from turning on by accident.

Keep spare batteries in a case so the terminals can't touch metal. Carry e-liquid in bottles of 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) or less, inside your quart-size liquids bag.

The FAA says vapes must never be used or charged on the aircraft.
