Under current U.S. FAA rules, electronic cigarettes and vaping devices may travel in the aircraft cabin, but they must not be packed in checked baggage.

What If Your Carry-On Gets Gate-Checked?
FAA guidance says electronic cigarettes
and vaping devices must remain with the
passenger in the aircraft cabin.
If your carry-on bag is going to be
checked at the gate or planeside,
remove the Geek Bar before handing the
bag over.
Airline and International Rules Can Be Stricter
FAA and TSA rules address U.S. transportation and security requirements, but they are not the only rules that can apply to a trip.
Check your airline and destination
before traveling.
Airlines may impose additional limits,
and the possession or importation of
vaping products can be restricted or
prohibited in some countries or
jurisdictions.
Do not assume that permission to pass
through a U.S. airport means a vaping
product is legal at your destination.
What About a Damaged Geek Bar?
Do not travel with a battery-powered
device that is damaged, swollen,
overheating, leaking or otherwise
appears unsafe.
FAA guidance restricts damaged or
defective lithium-battery devices that
could produce sparks, excessive heat
or fire.
