Ryanair vape & e-liquid rules
Vapes and e-cigarettes must travel in the Ryanair cabin — never in checked baggage, because of the lithium battery. The e-liquid itself is a liquid: bottles of 100 ml or less inside your clear bag, including the juice already in the tank.
Send these rules to whoever you're travelling with.
What to know before you pack
- Using or charging a vape on board is prohibited on every commercial flight, including in the toilets.
- Empty or part-empty the tank before flying — cabin pressure changes cause leaks.
- Spare batteries must be individually protected against short circuits and carried in the cabin.
- Baby food, formula and expressed milk are exempt from the 100 ml limit in reasonable quantities.
- Prescription liquid medication is exempt when accompanied by the prescription or a doctor's note.
- E-cigarettes and vape devices must travel in the cabin — never in checked bags. Spare lithium batteries and power banks are cabin-only.

Frequently asked
Can I bring a vape on Ryanair?
Yes, in hand luggage only. Ryanair follows the standard airline rule: vapes and spare lithium batteries stay with you in the cabin and must not be used in flight.
Does vape juice count toward the 100ml liquid limit?
Yes. E-liquid is treated like any other liquid, so each bottle must be 100 ml or less and fit inside your clear bag.
