Can you travel with a cartridge battery?

With travel season approaching, many vape users are asking: Can I bring my cartridge battery or vape pen on a plane? The short answer is yes, but only in your carry-on.

TSA Rules for Vape Batteries

According to TSA and FAA guidelines:

• Lithium batteries (like those in vape pens) must be in carry-on bags
• Batteries must be under 100Wh (most cartridge batteries qualify)
• No loose cartridges or devices in checked luggage

Packing Checklist for Air Travel

• Store your vape pen and cartridges in a padded case
• Use plastic zip bags to avoid spills
• Keep batteries in battery cases to avoid contact with metal
• Carry a printout of TSA rules, especially when traveling internationally

International Travel Tips

• Check the laws of the destination country — some restrict vape devices
• Store batteries in protective cases
• Keep all vape products labeled and easily accessible for inspection
• Some countries may confiscate devices even if they're legal in the U.S.
