Are Vapes Allowed On Planes?

✈️ Are Vapes Allowed on Planes? A Travel Guide for Canadian Vape Users

Whether you're a regular traveler or heading out on vacation, if you’re a Canadian vape user, you’ve likely asked yourself: Can I bring my vape on a plane? The short answer is yes, but with important restrictions. Here's everything you need to know about bringing vapes on planes — including rules for disposable vapes, refillable vape pens, and e-liquids — so you can travel safely and legally.

✅ Are Vapes Allowed on Airplanes?

Yes, vapes are allowed on planes, but there are specific rules for how you pack them and where you can use them. These regulations apply to:

  • Nicotine vapes

  • 0% nicotine vapes

  • Refillable vape devices

  • Disposable vape pens

  • E-liquid bottles

Transport Canada, along with most international aviation authorities, permits vape devices in carry-on luggage onlynot checked baggage.


🛄 Vape Travel Rules for Canadian Flights

If you're flying with Air Canada, WestJet, Flair, or any Canadian airline, follow these guidelines:

✅ Allowed:

  • Bring your vape device in your carry-on bag

  • Carry e-liquids in bottles under 100 mL (placed in your 1L clear liquids bag)

  • Carry disposable vapes in your personal item or backpack

🚫 Not Allowed:

  • No vapes or batteries in checked luggage

  • No vaping during the flight

  • No charging vape devices during the flight

  • No open e-liquid bottles inside your bag (they can leak from pressure)


🛫 International Travel with Vapes

Flying from Canada to other countries? Always check the destination country’s vape laws. For example:

  • 🇺🇸 USA: Vapes allowed in carry-on; some states restrict usage.

  • 🇲🇽 Mexico: Vapes are banned (do not bring them).

  • 🇦🇺 Australia: Prescription required for nicotine vapes.

  • 🇬🇧 UK: Vapes are legal and regulated.

  • 🇦🇪 UAE: Vapes are legal but must be used discreetly.

Important: Even if vapes are allowed on the plane, they might be banned in the country you're flying to.


🧳 How to Pack Vapes for Air Travel

Here's how to safely pack your vape gear for a flight:

  1. Remove batteries (if possible) and place them in a battery case.

  2. Keep devices in your carry-on — never in checked luggage.

  3. Pack e-liquids under 100 mL in your clear TSA-approved liquids bag.

  4. Use leak-proof containers or zip-lock bags to avoid messy spills.

  5. Turn off your device completely before boarding.

💡 Pro Tip for Canadian Vapers: If you’re using a nicotine-free vape, make sure the packaging clearly states "0% nicotine" in case of inspection.


❓Can You Use a Vape on a Plane?

No. All major airlines prohibit vaping during flights. Attempting to vape in the cabin or bathroom can result in fines or being banned from the airline.


🔄 Can You Charge a Vape on a Plane?

No — charging vape devices on a plane is prohibited. This includes USB charging or plugging your vape into a seat outlet.


💼 What About Vape Accessories?

You're allowed to bring:

  • Spare pods and coils

  • Charger cables (not to be used during flight)

  • E-liquid bottles (under 100 mL each)

Just make sure everything is packed in your carry-on and follows liquid and battery safety rules.
