Today I'm going to talk to you about a hot topic - can 6000 disposable electronic cigarettes be brought on the plane? I stayed up late to search through the new aviation regulations, tested and organized practical knowledge. After reading this article, I will definitely not step on the bandwagon!
✈️ Can I bring it?
✅ Answer: Yes! But it must be carried with you!
A disposable electronic cigarette with 6000 puffs is a standard capacity and meets the standards for portable use in civil aviation. However, two points should be noted:
one ️⃣ Battery capacity: The built-in lithium battery in the body must be ≤ 100Wh (watt hours). Most disposable electronic cigarette batteries on the market meet the requirements, but the parameters need to be confirmed in advance for oversized models.
two ️⃣ Liquid capacity: If a single bottle of e-liquid in the cartridge exceeds 100ml, it needs to be checked in. Actual testing shows that there are huge differences between different brands: some brands correspond to 2ml e-liquid for 6000 puffs (such as Yueke), while products such as UTBAR in the United States also have a 14ml capacity labeled as 6000 puffs. It is recommended to follow the packaging label for accuracy!
⚠️ Key point: Electronic cigarettes must be carried as luggage or carry on bags throughout the entire process, absolutely not checked in! Batteries under pressure in the cargo hold may pose a risk of spontaneous combustion!
🚫 These operations will overturn!
one ️⃣ Usage during flight: Smoking electronic cigarettes on the plane=dying! Triggering a smoke alarm will result in detention, fines, and a no fly blacklist! Sisters has been fined 500 yuan+5 days of administrative detention for personal testing!
two ️⃣ Unopened and mixed packaging: Electronic cigarettes are best packaged separately in insulated bags to avoid accidental activation. Don't mix with metal items such as keys to prevent short circuits and smoke!
three ️⃣ Excess carry: For domestic economy class flights, carry on luggage should be ≤ 5kg, and for first-class flights, it should be ≤ 10kg. It is recommended to bring 2-3 pieces of luggage that are sufficient! If you bring more than 10 units, it may be questioned for commercial use and the security checkpoint will be closed!
💡 Make a checklist before departure
🔋 Check battery parameters: Confirm the battery capacity indicated on the electronic cigarette label (usually on the packaging box), as unmarked miscellaneous cigarettes may be detained by security checks!
🧴 Testing the amount of e-liquid: Customs once seized 8400 cigarette bombs carried by passengers and detained them. It is necessary to verify the milliliters of e-liquid in each cigarette and strictly control the total capacity within 12ml!
✈️ Unboxing and repackaging: Separate the tobacco rod and spare cartridges into a waterproof sealed bag, put them in a carry on bag, and tighten the sealing strip. It has been tested to effectively prevent oil leakage due to changes in air pressure!
🚨 Customs entry unwritten rules
The new regulations for 2025 are clear! The limit for carrying electronic cigarettes when returning to China is 2 smoking accessories and 6 cartridges (total liquid content ≤ 12ml). For example, if you bring 5 cigarettes with 6000 puffs (assuming each one contains 2ml), a total of 10ml of liquid can be cleared; If there are 7 units exceeding the limit, additional taxes will be imposed for light items, and deductions will be made for heavy items!
