https://www.faa.gov/images/uploads/news/thumbs/Vape_thumb.pngThe Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) (https://www.faa.gov/) is working with other federal agencies and organizations to remind airline passengers that electronic smoking devices like vaporizers (vapes) and e-cigarettes are considered hazardous materials when transported on aircraft.
Electronic smoking devices contain lithium batteries that pose a fire risk. Passengers are allowed to bring the devices on board but they must be appropriately packed. Vapes, e-cigarettes and spare lithium batteries must be placed in carry-on luggage only. Vapes and e-cigarettes should be carefully protected to prevent the device from accidentally turning on. Place the vapes or e- cigarettes in a protective case or remove the battery and place each battery in its own case or plastic bag to prevent a short circuit.
Just as passengers are not allowed to smoke cigarettes on an aircraft, they should never use their vapes or e-cigarettes on an aircraft. It’s not only dangerous, it’s a federal offense.
The FAA encourages manufacturers, retailers and consumers of vapes and e-cigarettes to learn and promote the rules on flying with these products by sharing messaging from a new Vapes On A Plane Marketing Kit. (https://www.faa.gov/hazmat/packsafe/resources/vapes_marketing_kit/)

Electronic smoking devices, like vapes and e-cigarettes, contain lithium batteries and are considered dangerous goods. As such, they are restricted to how they can be packed when preparing for travel on an aircraft.
Manufacturers, retailers, and consumers can help share the message of safety with customers and fellow airline passengers by using these marketing materials.
