Vaping Regulations in Mongolia

Vapes are not banned on flights to Mongolia. Like everywhere else, they must travel in your carry-on bag or on your person, never in checked luggage.

The FAA says vapes must stay in the cabin and must never be used or charged on the aircraft.

Travelling With Your Vape Pen

For flights from the US, the TSA allows vapes in carry-on bags only. Each lithium ion battery must be rated at 100 watt-hours or less, and you must keep the device from switching on by accident.

Spare batteries also belong in your carry-on, in a case so the terminals can't touch metal.

E-liquid counts as a liquid at security. Keep bottles at 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) or less and pack them in your liquids bag.

Legality

As of May 2025, WHO said Mongolia does not have comprehensive regulation on e-cigarettes. The government is amending its Tobacco Control Law, and WHO has called for strict rules.

Laws may have changed since then, so check with the Mongolian embassy or your airline before you travel.

Conclusion

Be discreet, avoid vaping indoors or in crowds, and follow posted no-smoking signs.

Vapes are for adults only. In the US, federal law has banned selling e-cigarettes to anyone under 21 since December 2019.

Tips for Bringing a Vape Pen on a Plane

With a bit of preparation, flying with a vape pen is simple. Here are some tips:

1. Check with the Airline: Check the TSA rules and your airline's policy before you fly. Airlines can limit how many devices you carry, and countries where you change planes can have their own vape laws.

2. Keep Batteries in Your Carry-On: Keep your vape in your carry-on, switched off or locked so the button can't be pressed. Store spare batteries in a case so the terminals can't touch metal.

3. Don't Vape On Board: There is no vaping on commercial flights, and you can't charge a vape on board either.
