Vaping and Travel: What UK Vapers Need to Know

Planning a trip within the UK? If you're a vaper, there are a few things to keep in mind to ensure a smooth journey.

1. Device and E-liquid Storage:

When travelling by car, ensure your vape devices and e-liquids are stored securely to prevent leaks or damage. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.

2. Air Travel (Domestic Flights):

  • Devices: Vape devices with lithium batteries should generally be carried in your carry-on luggage. Check with your specific airline for their regulations, as policies can vary.
  • E-liquids: E-liquids are subject to the same liquid restrictions as other toiletries in your carry-on (typically containers no larger than 100ml, all fitting in a clear, resealable plastic bag). You can usually pack larger bottles in your checked luggage, but it's wise to seal them well to prevent leaks due to changes in air pressure.

3. Public Transportation:

Be mindful of vaping policies on trains and buses. Vaping is generally prohibited in enclosed public transport areas.

4. Accommodation:

Check the policies of your hotel or other accommodation regarding vaping indoors. Many establishments have a no-vaping policy.

5. Respect Local Regulations:

While vaping is legal for adults in the UK, be considerate of those around you and avoid vaping in crowded or enclosed public spaces where it might be unwelcome.

By being aware of these considerations, you can travel within the UK without any vaping-related hassles. Always prioritize safety and respect local guidelines.
