Can You Fly With a Vape Pen To Martinique?
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.
Can You Fly With A Vape Pen To Martinique?
Yes. All airlines require vapes to travel in your carry-on bag or on your person, never in checked luggage.
Martinique is an overseas region of France, so French law applies. Adults can bring a vape for personal use.
Conclusion
Pack your vape in your carry-on, bring a refillable device, and leave anything containing cannabis at home.

Are Vape Pens Illegal in Martinique?
Cannabis Laws in Martinique
No, nicotine vapes are legal for adults. Cannabis is a different matter: it is illegal under French law.
The UK government warns that illegal drugs in France, including cannabis, carry severe penalties, including prison and heavy fines. Never bring THC vape cartridges.
The Penalties for Vaping Illegally
France already bans selling vaping products to minors. In 2025, it also banned single-use disposable vapes ("puffs").
The French pharmacists' order reports that their sale, manufacture and distribution is no longer allowed. Bring a refillable device rather than disposables.
Using Vape Pens Safely
Don't vape where smoking isn't allowed, and follow posted signs. Keep e-liquid away from children, because nicotine can poison them.

Tips for Bringing a Vape Pen on a Plane
Pack It in Your Carry-On
The TSA allows vapes in carry-on bags only. Each lithium-ion battery must be 100 watt-hours or less.
Never Use or Charge It On Board
The FAA says vapes must never be used or charged on the aircraft. Switch the device off and protect it from turning on by accident.
Pack E-Liquid Correctly
Carry e-liquid in bottles of 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) or less, inside your quart-size liquids bag. Keep spare batteries in a case so the terminals can't touch metal.
