Traveling can be exciting, but for vapers, it often comes with a crucial question: “Can I bring my vape on the plane?”Whether you're jetting off on a business trip or a well-deserved vacation, you don't have to leave your favorite LOST MARY behind. The answer is yes, you can—but there are very important rules you must follow.
At LOST MARY, we want your entire experience to be seamless, from the first puff to your journey at 30,000 feet. Let's clear up the confusion and ensure you travel safely and compliantly.
The Golden Rule: Carry-On Only for Batteries
This is the single most important point and a non-negotiable FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) regulation:
All electronic devices with lithium-ion batteries, including your LOST MARY vape, must be in your carry-on baggage or on your person.
Why? Lithium-ion batteries pose a fire risk if they short-circuit or are damaged in the cargo hold, where fires are harder to detect and extinguish. In the cabin, flight attendants can quickly address any issue.
What this means for you: Never, under any circumstances,pack your vape device,batteries,or charging case in your checked luggage.
Step-by-Step: Packing Your LOST MARY for Air Travel
Follow this simple checklist to breeze through airport security:
Power Down & Secure: If your device has a power button, turn it off. To prevent accidental firing during travel, consider using the device's lock feature (if available) or a small piece of tape over the contact points (not over the airflow). For disposable devices like the LOST MARY OS5000, this is less of a concern, but keeping it protected is key.
Separate from E-Liquid (for Refillable Devices): If you're carrying e-liquid bottles, they must follow the TSA’s 3-1-1 liquids rule:
3.4 ounces (100ml) or less per container.
1 quart-sized, clear, plastic, zip-top bag.
1 bag per passenger placed in a security bin.
Pro Tip: Always store bottles upright and in a sealed bag to prevent leakage from cabin pressure changes.
Pack Smartly: Place your LOST MARY device in a dedicated compartment of your carry-on or purse. Using the original packaging or a protective case can prevent damage and button presses.
Navigating Airport Security (TSA Guidelines)
Declaration: You usually don't need to declare your vape separately. Simply place your carry-on with the vape inside on the X-ray belt as normal.
Screening: TSA officers are familiar with vapes. If they need a closer look, they may inspect your bag. Cooperate politely if asked.
International Travel: Research your destination's laws! Vaping regulations vary dramatically by country. Some nations ban nicotine-containing vapes entirely, while others have strict limits. It is your responsibility to know and comply with local laws to avoid fines or confiscation.
The Absolute “Do Not” List: Vaping on the Plane
This cannot be stressed enough:
It is illegal to use your vape or charge it in the airplane cabin or lavatory.
Tampering with smoke detectors is a federal offense. Save your LOST MARY for after you have disembarked the plane and are in a designated outdoor area of the airport, respecting local rules.
LOST MARY Travel Tips for a Smooth Journey
Altitude & Pressure: Cabin pressure can cause minor leakage in pre-filled pods or disposables. Store your device upright and consider keeping it in a zip-top bag just in case.
Stay Charged: Bring your USB-C cable in your carry-on. You can charge your device at airport gates, but never onboard the aircraft.
Be Discreet & Respectful: Always follow signage and be mindful of others when vaping in public areas at your destination.
