Flying to Samoa With a Vape Pen

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.

Are Vape Pens Illegal in Samoa?

Vape Pen Laws in Samoa

Vapes are legal in Samoa but regulated. A Government of Samoa press release says a 2019 amendment to the Tobacco Control Act 2008 added electronic nicotine and non-nicotine delivery systems to the definition of tobacco products.

That means the rules for tobacco products, including limits on sales to young people and on internet sales by sellers, also cover e-cigarettes.

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: Samoa treats vapes as tobacco products, so follow no-smoking signs and check for rule changes before you go.
