CAN YOU TAKE DISPOSABLE VAPES ON AN AIRPLANE?

Now that we are able to travel almost freely again, vape users often have questions about travel with vapes and accessories. Air travel remains complicated and fraught with uncertainties. Do you have a trip on your calendar? Are you flying to domestic or overseas destinations? What about vaping? Can you bring your disposable vape along? Vapor 42 has reliable answers for you.

TSA and Vaping

Here is the definitive answer from the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) for “Can I take vapes on an airplane?”

Electronic smoking devices are allowed only in carry-on baggage.

This means yes, you may take your vape pen with you when traveling on airplanes, but only in your carry-on luggage; it may not be packed in luggage you check that will be carried on the airplane in the baggage compartment.

After entering the aircraft, you should remove all electronic cigarette and vaping devices, along with any spare lithium batteries, and keep them with you in the aircraft cabin.

Can I Take Vapes on an Airplane?

Carry-On Baggage – YES

Checked Baggage – NO

However, there is more to know than where to store your vape. Let’s dive into some specifics on how to store your vape properly for airline travel. As always, you should check with the TSA if you still have questions. Remember – the final decision to allow any item through a checkpoint and onto an aircraft rests with a TSA officer on-scene.

Dos and Don’ts for Vapes on Planes

Is it a good idea to bring a vape on a plane? Of course, using your vape inside the aircraft is prohibited. You are allowed to carry it with you solely for safety purposes. Components of a vape pose a risk for fire. Any liquids carried on board an aircraft are suspect and pose a risk. Airline companies have established rules for passengers to bring along their vapes and equipment for convenience; this prevents vape users from the necessity of buying new vapes and accessories at their destination.

You should always double-check with the particular airline you are traveling on to make sure you adhere to their policies and restrictions. Here are some basics things to do and don’t do when carrying vapes on a plane:

  • Do place plastic 100ml bottles of e-liquid in a gallon-sized clear plastic bag inside your carry-on luggage.
  • Do remove the batteries from your vape before checking in at the gate.
  • Do not carry spare batteries loose in your carry-on bag or checked luggage.
  • Do carry spare lithium batteries in a case or clear plastic bag inside your carry-on luggage.
  • Do carry spare coils for your vape in a clear plastic bag inside your carry-on luggage.
  • Do empty your vape tank before storing your vape in your carry-on luggage.
  • Do consider taking along a few disposable vapes if your trip is short; they are more convenient, easy to carry, and don’t require spare chargers, batteries, or e-liquid.
  • Do not use your vape on the aircraft. The U.S. Department of Transportation prohibits vaping on flights, with fines for violations ranging from $2,000-$4,000.
  • Do not charge your vape battery on the aircraft – this is prohibited.
  • Do not carry more than 100 ml (3.4 oz) of liquid e-juice in your carry-on luggage.
  • Do not use a glass container to carry your vape juice.

Here is a significant recommendation to observe before you begin your travel: check to see if vaping is allowed when you reach your destination country or state. Vaping or selling vape products is restricted or illegal in some countries

How to Handle Long-Distance Flights Without Vaping

If you’re facing a long-distance flight of several hours without vaping, here are some suggestions for how to cope.

Practice Mindfulness

Mindfulness techniques can help calm your nerves and ease anxiety over the lack of nicotine during a long flight. Of course, you’ll need to focus on stationary methods like concentration, breathing, awareness, and releasing tension.

Snack

While distracting yourself with snacks is not a healthy practice, doing so to stave off a nicotine need temporarily is not so bad – especially of you choose healthier snacks. Nuts, fruit, crackers and cheese, and other snacks can keep you occupied until you can vape again.

Enjoy Distracting Activities

Many options exist to distract your attention from thinking about vaping. Crossword puzzles, in-flight movies, drawing, writing, reading, knitting, or games on your phone are all easy to do on long flights.

Sleep

Many airlines will offer small pillows, blankets, and eye masks for your convenience. Pop in your earbuds, dial up some relaxing music, snuggle down, and sleep the flight hours away.

Vape at the Airport

Some airports across the U.S. and internationally offer special designated smoking areas where vaping is allowed. Research your route and see if you will spend time in any of these airports on your journey. If so, take full advantage of this perk. Just be sure to re-pack your vape and accessories before boarding your next flight.

Use Nicotine Aids

Although you may not be trying to quit vaping, some alternative nicotine sources during the flight can help. Nicotine products such as patches or gum are simple and safe substitutes for a temporary fix until you can break out your vape again.

What Our Customers Have Been Saying

"Really nice shop. Looks really really nice inside and they have a lot of options on products and juice's. They kinda go both ways. Somethings are a little overpriced and other things are cheaper and a better deal then you'll find anywhere. But they have some insanely nice mods and atomizers which that and the shops layout make that shop look like a Vapors dream. Vapor 42 is one of my 2 favorite shop."
Budz C.
"Every time I go here, the people working are knowledgeable, friendly, and a pleasure to buy from. They are almost more of a mom and pop shop by heart than some corporation looking to make a buck off addiction. I will sing their praises by coming here for any need."
Willow R.
"Good people who like to help you find what you want and help you if you don't know what you want. I'm now a dedicated vapor thanks to them and my sister. I highly recommend Vapor 42."
Dylan R.
"It was a blessing in disguise when I was treated poorly at another vape shop. I looked up vape shops and took my chances. Boy am I glad I did. Not only was the customer service Outstanding, even more was the product! Thank you to the young man (Nicholas) who was so very patient and knowledgeable! Hands down the best Vape Juice out there. I will definitely be sending all my friends."
Kelso S.
"I'll be riding my motorized bike up there tomorrow. This shop is my go-to place for all things vape. Cheap prices, awesome juice, friendly staff, perfect store atmosphere, and great selection. 'Your Never Blue, At Vapor 42!'"
Justin K.
"The staff is very knowledgeable and super friendly and helpful. The prices are great and the juice is amazing. 10/10 experience."
Parker S.
"Best vape shop I've ever been to. I've gone to vape shops all over the east coast. Their prices are fantastic and the quality of their juice is amazing. Super smooth."
Jason R.
"This has been my go-to vape shop for about 3 months now. Its very clean inside and has a nice vibe inside as well. Unfortunately though they decided to increase the price of their house blends by a whopping 20%, so I will start going back to the Indian Tobacco and Vape store down the road that has a big selection on name brand ejuices, 2 for 20."
Layced J.
"Vapor 42 is amazing! Mike went out of his way to find a coil for a tank I had... I'd already been to 3 other different vape shops in jc and they tried a few and gave up.. but Mike didn't and I'm finally able to vape with that tank!! Both men in there were very knowledgeable and knew EVERYTHING vape! I'd recommend it highly to anyone who vapes. I haven't tried the juices yet but you better believe I'm going to. Lol!"
Sarah M.
"I have been to every vape store in jc and this the only store that I like to get my juices or mods at..they just don't try to push something on you..They will suggest the best..."
