Can You Fly With a Vape Pen To Kiribati?

Understand Kiribati’s Regulations for Vaping

The Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids legal database has no e-cigarette data for Kiribati, and the UK government's travel advice doesn't mention vaping. We couldn't confirm whether vapes are allowed.

Ask Kiribati's nearest embassy or consulate for current rules before you travel. Don't rely on guesswork.

Check With Your Airline Before Flying

If your trip starts in the US, the TSA allows vapes in carry-on bags only. Each lithium ion battery must be 100 Wh or less, and you must take steps to stop the device firing by accident.

The FAA says vapes must stay in the cabin, not in checked bags, and must never be used or charged on the aircraft. Airlines on international routes follow similar dangerous goods rules.

Be Prepared To Dispose Of Your Device Upon Arrival

If you can't confirm the rules before you go, the safest choice is to leave your vape at home. If officials tell you vapes aren't allowed, follow their instructions.

Tips for Bringing a Vape Pen on a Plane

Check the Rules:

Vapes and spare batteries may only travel in your carry-on bag or on your person, never in checked luggage. You can't vape or charge them on board.

Check your airline's own rules before you fly, too.

Prepare Your Device:

Switch the device off or lock it so it can't fire in your bag. The TSA requires steps to prevent accidental activation.

Keep spare batteries in a battery case or their retail packaging so the terminals can't touch keys, coins or each other.

Follow Security Rules:

At US airports, e-liquid bottles in your carry-on must be 3.4 ounces (100 ml) or less and fit in your quart-sized liquids bag. Check the liquids rule at every airport on your route.

If your carry-on is checked at the gate, take your vape and spare batteries out first.
