What Is A Vape Pen?

A vape pen is a small e-cigarette. It has a rechargeable battery, a heating coil and a tank or cartridge of e-liquid.

The coil heats the liquid into an aerosol that you inhale. Most e-liquids contain nicotine, which is highly addictive. The FDA says e-cigarettes are not risk-free, and people who don't use tobacco should not start.

Are Vape Pens Allowed on Planes?

Vapes can fly, but only in your carry-on bag or on your person. TSA rules for vaping devices ban them from checked luggage.

You must take effective steps to stop the heating element from switching on by accident. Each lithium-ion battery must be 100 watt-hours or less, which covers almost all vape batteries.

The FAA says vapes must never be used or charged on the aircraft. Keep yours switched off or locked for the whole flight.

E-liquid in your carry-on follows the TSA liquids rule: bottles of 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) or less, packed in one quart-sized bag.

These are US rules. Airlines elsewhere apply similar battery rules, so check with your airline before you fly.

Can I Fly With My Vape Pen To Saint Lucia?

Yes, as long as it travels in your carry-on bag or on your person. Never pack it, or any spare batteries, in checked luggage.

Tips for Bringing a Vape Pen on a Plane

  • Carry-on only: pack the vape and any spare batteries in your carry-on. If your bag is gate-checked, take them out first.
  • Prevent activation: switch the device off or lock it, and keep spare batteries in a case away from keys and coins.
  • Liquids: keep e-liquid bottles at 3.4 ounces (100 ml) or less, in your liquids bag. Pressure changes can make tanks leak, so carry them empty or in a sealed bag.
  • No vaping on board: don't use or charge your vape on the plane, and only vape in airport areas where signs allow it.
  • Never pack cannabis or THC products: they can break the law at your departure point, your destination, or both.
  • Check the destination: we found no vape-specific law in Saint Lucia, so check with the embassy and follow no-smoking signs.
