Can You Fly With a Vape Pen To Liberia?

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.

This guide is for adults who already vape. If you don't use nicotine, don't start.

Flying with Vaping Devices

Airlines allow vapes in your carry-on bag or on your person, never in checked luggage. You can't use or charge a vape on the plane.

Traveling To Liberia With A Vaping Device

Liberia has strict customs rules on what you can bring in. Bring only what you need for personal use, in its original packaging.

Never bring cannabis or other illegal drugs. Drug trafficking is illegal in Liberia.

Age Restrictions

We could not find an official source on Liberia's e-cigarette rules, including any age limit. The Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids' database has no e-cigarette analysis for Liberia.

Public Use Restrictions

Treat vaping like smoking. Don't vape where smoking isn't allowed, and ask before vaping indoors.

Restrictions on Advertising

We could not verify any advertising rules for e-cigarettes in Liberia. They don't affect travelers carrying a vape for personal use.

Tips for Bringing a Vape Pen on a Plane

Here are the key rules for the flight.

Check Your Airline’s Regulations

The TSA allows vapes in carry-on bags only. Check your airline's limit on how many devices you can carry.

Choose an Appropriately Sized Vape Pen

Each lithium-ion battery must be 100 watt-hours or less. Most vape batteries are far below this limit.

Pack Smartly

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.
