You must be feeling restless after spending the whole year stuck at home with your vape pens and computers because of COVID? So get ready for some great travel when the COVID situation in Vietnam is under strict control. And before you plan for long trips with your trusted vape companion, check out these helpful tips to have a perfect trip.
1. Always check the vaping regulations of the airline and country you choose for your vacation.
Some countries have strict regulations on the management and use of e-cigarettes. For example, Argentina, Hong Kong and Singapore have completely banned vaping in all airports.
In addition to the location issue, you should also learn about the regulations of the airlines before booking tickets. Because the country you are going to does not prohibit vaping, but the airline does not allow the device on the plane.
2, How to pack equipment according to aviation law
You should keep your e-cigarettes in your carry-on luggage to avoid customs inspection. I was once stopped and had my suitcase searched because of a hair dryer. If you are asked to check your luggage, be honest with them to avoid unnecessary risks.
Some airlines like Vietnam Airlines require you to put vape devices in your carry-on luggage and not check them in to avoid the battery from activating during transportation.
Device: If you are using a device that comes in a body and atomizer, disassemble the parts and place them in three separate zip-lock bags. Avoid adding essential oils to the atomizer, as the pressure will cause the oils to leak out. Pack them up and take them with you on the plane.
Essential Oils: Some airlines have strict regulations on the amount of liquids you can carry. Instead of bringing a large bottle of essential oil, pour the essential oil you plan to use into small bottles and place them in a separate ziplock bag to prevent them from leaking due to pressure. Essential oils can be packed with personal items in checked baggage.
In addition, some countries also have regulations on controlling the amount of nicotine in essential oils. So before choosing essential oils, please go through step 1 first.
3. Absolutely do not use electronic cigarettes on the plane.
Most flights prohibit the use of smoke devices on board, you will be fined 3,000,000 VND to 5,000,000 VND and may be banned from flying permanently if your behavior causes serious consequences. There have been cases of celebrities secretly using the device in the plane's bathroom and having to report to the police immediately after landing.
You can use vape on some special flights or private jets. But if you are just traveling on normal flights, keep your vape device in a safe place to avoid confiscation by flight attendants or unwanted situations.
If your vacation takes place in an outdoor and crowded area such as a beach or campsite, always remember to store your equipment in a cool place, away from direct sunlight and other adverse conditions to have the most perfect vacation.
