The importance of proper packing starts with knowing the guidelines set by airlines and the aviation industry. First and foremost, e-cigarettes are typically allowed on planes, but not in checked baggage. Ensure that your electronic smoking devices are packed in your carry-on bag. Airlines and TSA policies prevent the carriage of devices that potentially include lithium batteries in checked luggage. These batteries can pose a fire hazard, hence stringent rules are in place surrounding their transportation.
Compliant Packing Tips
- Must be placed in carry-on luggage
- Store batteries separately
- Keep e-liquids under the TSA liquid limit
Consider taking extra safety measures like using a battery case to prevent accidental discharge which may lead to overheating. Additionally, it’s advisable to turn off your e-cigarettes and, if possible, dismantle them to avoid accidental activation. Wrap your devices carefully using bubble wrap or padded pouches to avoid damage during transit. Moreover, familiarizing yourself with the local laws and regulations regarding e-cigarette use in your destination country is crucial.
