Alright, so I recently had to figure out if I could bring my wax pen on a plane, and let me tell you, it was a bit of a headache at first. I did a bunch of digging around because, you know, rules are rules, and I didn’t want any trouble at the airport.
First things first, I started by checking out what the TSA had to say. Turns out, they treat these things like any other electronic vaping device, which makes sense. So, I knew I couldn’t just toss it in my checked bag willy-nilly. In fact, it is not allowed to put them in checked baggage. The main thing is that these devices have batteries, and batteries can be a problem in the cargo hold.
So, here’s what I did: I made sure to remove the battery from my pen. That’s a big one. If you can take the battery out, you can put the device in your checked luggage. But honestly, I didn’t want to risk it getting lost or damaged, so I decided to keep it with me in my carry-on.
For my disposable vapes, I packed them in my carry-on bag. And because they technically have liquid in them, I put them in a clear, zip-top bag, just like you do with your other liquids. That way, everything is above board and easy for the TSA folks to check out.
When I got to the airport, it was pretty smooth sailing. I went through security, they looked at my bag, saw the vape stuff in the clear bag, and didn’t bat an eye. Of course, I didn’t try to use it in the airport or on the plane because, duh, that’s a big no-no. But I already know this, do not charge them on the aircraft.
Here’s the breakdown of what I learned:
- Batteries are a concern: Keep them in your carry-on, not your checked luggage.
- Disposables go in your carry-on: Treat them like liquids and put them in a clear, zip-top bag.
- Don’t use or charge them on the plane: Just wait until you get to your destination.
So, yeah, it’s totally doable to bring your wax pen or disposables on a plane. Just follow the rules, be smart about it, and you won’t have any issues. Safe travels, everyone!
