Tips for Bringing a Vape Pen on a Plane

Yes, you can fly to Madagascar with a vape pen, but only in your carry-on bag. 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. Most airlines worldwide apply similar battery rules, but check with yours.

• 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.
• Check the destination: confirm the local rules before you go, and follow no-vaping signs once you arrive.
