Vaping Regulations in South Sudan
We could not find a law in South Sudan that bans or specifically regulates e-cigarettes.
The Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids' legal database has no e-cigarette rules on file for South Sudan.
No law on file does not mean anything goes. Laws change, so check with the South Sudan embassy or your airline before you travel.
Flying to South Sudan 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.
Finding Vaping Supplies
We could not confirm where vape supplies are sold in South Sudan. Bring what you need within the carry-on liquids limit.

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.

We found no law that bans vapes in South Sudan, but we also found no clear rules. Ask the embassy before you travel.
Risks Associated With Vaping
Nicotine e-liquid is poisonous if swallowed or spilled on skin. Keep bottles sealed and away from children.

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 South Sudan, so check with the embassy before you go.
