As you can see, while the language regarding vapes on planes may differ from company to company, the message is ultimately the same — keep your vape in your hand luggage and do not use your vape on the plane under any circumstances.

In some countries, such as Thailand, the use of e cigarettes is banned altogether , with a penalty of 10 years in prison if you are convicted. Other countries to avoid include Singapore and certain Indian territories, all of which have strict vaping regulations and hefty fines.

Other places, such as Dubai and other parts of the UAE, have recently softened their views on vaping but still maintain strict regulations and forbid their use in certain places such as sites of worship, educational facilities and medical centres. Even if you find this super strong e-liquid enjoyable, you may be unable to bring it back home due to its extremely high strength being in violation of the Tobacco Products Directive TPD.

Heat, light and air are 3 main enemies of e liquid. If you leave your e liquid out in direct sunshine the heat and UV light could potentially cause the molecules in the e liquid to interact with one another, which could alter the flavour of your e liquid.

So if you can, leave your e liquid in your hotel room when you go sunbathing. E liquid is best kept at a cool but not cold temperature in a dark place, so usually a draw or cupboard in your place of accommodation will be sufficient to ensure the nicotine content of your e liquid is unaffected by the new environment.

No airlines allow vaping in flight. You should never attempt to vape on a plane because you will almost certainly be caught and will then face significant legal problems.

These days, smoking areas are more likely to be outdoor cages without climate control and little in the way of seating. It has become increasingly rare for airports to advertise the fact that they have smoking areas available. The vaping laws around the world are often quite complicated. In some countries, vaping products are as easy as tobacco products for adults to buy. In other countries, vaping products are legal to own but are not legal to buy, sell or import. Or inhale, hold it, and exhale slowly bit by bit.

Some people are more brazen. Diane, a year-old social worker, had a close call when her and her husband went to the bathroom to Juul on a plane to Europe. After her husband went into the bathroom to vape, and while she was waiting outside for her turn, a high-pitched fire alarm went off — not on the whole plane, but just in the bathroom and in the cockpit.

We were already three hours delayed, so I guess he figured they owed us one.
