The electronic cigarette on the plane

Like the classic cigarette, it is now strictly forbidden to use its electronic cigarette during a plane trip. Safety rules in the aviation world are extremely strict to ensure maximum safety and comfort for all. But it is quite possible to carry your equipment with you, as long as it complies with the regulations in force. Here are a few recommendations to guarantee you a serene and professional flight.

Battery and accumulators

Cet équipement est celui le plus régulé tant son risque d’incendie peut être élevé. Il est ainsi défendu de ranger la batterie ou les accus de votre cigarette électronique en soute. Il est effectivement essentiel qu’ils ne vous quittent pas et soient rangés en cabine. Cette mesure a été appliquée suite à de nombreux incidents créés à cause de la mise en tension imprévue de ces appareils au sein des bagages de voyageurs. Dans un sac situé en cabine, il sera ainsi bien plus facile de remédier dans la minute à ces éventuels soucis.

However, it is recommended that you ask your airline about its own regulations. It is also allowed to store equipment that does not have batteries or accumulators, such as an atomizer or its box without batteries, in checked baggage. Spare batteries must they, remained in their original packaging, or in an insulating package. They must also remain in hand luggage intended to be located in the cabin.

E-liquids

Si vous souhaitez voyager avec un petit stock de e-liquides, c’est tout à fait possible ! La majorité des compagnies aériennes consentent à transporter jusqu’à un litre de liquide en soute. Cette règle comprend aussi bien les e-liquides que les shampooing ou boissons par exemple, tant que la totalité ne dépasse pas le seuil autorisé. Il est également demandé que chaque contenant de liquides contienne 100 ml maximum.

To avoid the risk of leaks, it is advisable to place your bottles of e-liquids in airtight bags. It is also a good idea to leave the tanks of your clearomizers or atomizers empty to make sure your luggage is clean and dry.

Boating abroad

Before your departure, we invite you to find out about the regulations established in the country of destination. Some countries completely prohibit the sale and import of electronic cigarettes.

Other countries prohibit the sale of nicotine, but accept its personal use. This local regulation concerns for example Australia, where it is possible to consume nicotine e-liquids without risk. It will only be very difficult to get some afterwards.

There are also countries where the sale of nicotine is banned or only allowed in pharmacies. In this case, pharmacies must have a medical licence. You will therefore be able to use your equipment and its e-liquids without nicotine at will.

In any case, we can never repeat it enough: find out! Never go to a country without knowing the regulations in place, otherwise your trip could be jeopardized.
