Can You Bring Juul or a Vape Through the Security Checkpoint?
Juuls, vapes, or e-cigarettes are common devices that the TSA and most airport securities are familiar with.
I can always expect them to not ask me about it.
Even though on their website they didn’t talk specifically about Juul or vape brands, they have mentioned electronic cigarettes and vaping devices in general.
And here is what they have stated.
Electronic smoking devices including Juuls and vapes, are permitted through the security checkpoint and in carry-on baggage without any restrictions.
In case the airline will gate check in your bag for some reason, because it is oversized, ensure that you remove any vapes or e-cigarettes before handing the bag to the airline staff.
They will mostly ask if you have any valuables or flammable items you want to take from your bag.
You can only send your vape in checked luggage if you remove the battery.
Real-Life Experiences With AskTSA
Jozef asked the TSA if he can bring his Juul on a flight.
The AskTSA replied that vapes and e-cigarettes are good to go and must be packed in carry-on bags.
Can You Take Vape Liquid on a Plane?
Most electronic smoking devices, including vapes and Juuls, have some type of solvents and liquids, so they need to adhere to the TSA liquid rules.
The TSA and most airports do allow only 3.4 oz / 100 ml of liquids for a single container in a quart-sized bag in carry-on luggage.
Liquid vapes or vape juice are permitted in carry-on bags as long as they adhere to the TSA liquid rules: less than 3.4 oz / 100 ml for each container and placed in a quart-sized bag with other toiletries.
Even though most Juuls and vapes have small amounts of liquid, they will need to be placed in a quart-sized bag with other toiletries like shampoo, deodorants, or perfumes. But you can bring as many Juul or vape devices as your quart-sized bag will fit.
Can You Bring E-Cigarette and Vape Chargers on Planes?
Chargers and power banks have the same rules as lithium batteries, so you will need to take them inside your carry-on bag along with your Juul or vape.
Any chargers or electronics that are bigger than a cell phone will need to be removed from your carry-on bag and placed in a separate tray at the security checkpoint.
Can You Vape On a Plane?
No you can not.
Passengers are not allowed to use e-cigarettes, vapes, or similar items on board the airplanes.
Even though it is allowed to bring a Juul or vape on board the airplane, it is not the right thing to do to use it during the flight.
Nick asked the TSA if he can use his Juul on the plane.
The AskTSA customer service didn’t quite understand the question.
Still, Nick is allowed to bring his Juul in carry-on, but he’s not allowed to use it, as most airlines do not allow using e-cigarettes or vapes on their flights.
