TSA item rule · verified 2026-07-02

Can you bring vapes & e-cigarettes on a plane?

TSA's official answer, checked against tsa.gov on 2026-07-02.

Carry-on bag yes

Carry-on only. Take measures to prevent accidental activation of the heating element. Lithium battery must not exceed 100 Wh (or 2 g lithium content).

Checked bag no

Prohibited in checked bags — the lithium battery is a fire risk in the hold.

Airlines may limit how many devices one passenger can carry — check yours.

Liquids, gels and aerosols in carry-on follow the TSA 3-1-1 rule. The final decision always rests with the TSA officer at the checkpoint.
