General rules for flying with vape stuff
- Thread starter Andre
- Start date
Ja Silver...I’m in Aviation Biz. One of the reasons I need to be clued up on my vaping rights. Thus far no issues, even at Heathrow London which is supposed to be “unfriendly”. Though I have heard disturbing rumors about Thailand.

i just got back from a trip. was advised by the airline staff to keep batteries in a case. and took my mod apart. tank and mod seperated. and 2 bottles 50ml juice. and to keep in my hand luggage.
charger was in checked in luggage along with 10 bottles of 50ml juice.
had no issues at all.
I travel every second month with approx 750ml of e liquid, going through 3 airports.
(To last me 30 days xD)
The general rule is no liquid bottle greater than 100ml, and not exeeding 5 Liters in total.
For international flight, the general rule is the same with the exception of it must be in a sealed see through bag.
You will have no issues following these rules.

Thanks @Hallucinated_
Extra bit of info of max 5 litres in total is helpful
PS : You vape quite a lot
Recently been on trips to Ghana and DRC and i must say, no issues at all except educating the poor staff at Accra terminal on what my device was and why i have "Juice" in a bag. lol
Anyone with experience flying to Egypt? Apparently vaping is banned there
went away for 2 weeks. had to make sure i had enough supplies

I blame Dripping and the goon haha
At the end of the day i guess its up to the person you get at Security Checks and in what mood they are in lol !
But rules changes alot, best to check with the airline you are boarding and to know what their restrictions are. They usually have a T&C's page with all the information.

Articles which have the primary purpose as a power source, e.g. power banks are considered as spare batteries. These batteries must be individually protected to avoid short-circuit. Each passenger is limited to a maximum of 20 spare batteries.
e-cigarettes
Check In NO
Carry-on YES
e-cigarettes (including e-cigars, e-pipes, other personal vaporizers) containing batteries must be individually protected to prevent accidental activation.

Some new rules when flying kulula, you are allowed 2 spare batteries.
For example you can have 2 mods with batteries in them, but only allowed additional two as spare. Carry anymore and they will confiscate.

@Hallucinated_
spot on.. had abit of grief this weekend with kulula over the batteries
Very strict ... lost 2 batteries
Thanks guys... won't be flying Kulua in a hurry! Stupid! 
Now they need to stop people with cellphones, hearing aids, laptops and pads. The level of human stupidity never ceases to amaze.
Now if they said no batteries not in silicone sleeves or something I could live with that.

I travelled across Europe, Russia and Scandinavia with 15 batteries and never once had an issue!
PS and I had about 10 mods and atties as well.

Have to agree with this..Travelled to Europe/Dubai in February and I had
2 x Mods
2 x Atomizers
8 x Batteries
6 x 60ml E-Liquid
Wire/Cutters/Cotton/Tweezers/Battery Charger
Absolutely no problems at all, yet a local airline has issues with 2 spare batteries....
ABSURD

So hold up. 2 batteries in total or spare 2 batteries as in 2 in the mod and 2 in silicone sleeve?
Maximum spare of 2 batteries, so you can have multiple mods with batteries in them but can only carry 2 as spare.
Evening ECIGSSA
So I’m flying with TAAG airlines to Rio De Janeiro tomorrow afternoon and I wanted to ask if they allow passengers to travel with their vape in their hand luggage?
TIA
