Since August 1, 2025, it's been illegal to import or supply single-use vapes in Jersey. The Government of Jersey says you can't bring them in your personal baggage, and illegal imports can be seized and fined up to £1,000.
A vape counts as single-use if it can't be refilled or reused, its battery can't be recharged, or its coil can't be replaced. Bring a refillable, rechargeable device instead.
