Before flying, you will also want to know Travel Guide: Can You Take a 6000 Puff Vape on a Plane?
If you're packing your 6000 puff vape for a sunny getaway, make sure you're not heading straight into trouble at the airport. Vaping laws differ wildly around the world and high-capacity devices like 6000 puff vapes are more likely to raise eyebrows at customs.
While these devices are perfectly legal in the UK if they meet TPD rules, some countries take a much stricter view on all vape products, and others specifically target disposable or high-nicotine options.
This guide will help you understand which destinations are vape-friendly and which places are best avoided if you're bringing your device with you.
Are Vapes and Disposables Banned Everywhere?
Not quite. Most countries have their own specific approach to e-cigarettes. Some completely ban their sale, some restrict importation, and others take a dim view of personal use even if the device is technically legal.
To make things even trickier, some laws focus specifically on:
-
Nicotine strength
-
Disposable devices
-
Refillable systems
-
Sale and marketing restrictions
-
Possession or personal use
A 6000 puff vape is often a rechargeable device with multiple 2ml pods, which helps it stay within UK laws. But not every country sees it that way. Always check before you travel.
Countries Where Vaping or Vapes Are Banned
Here are several destinations where vaping is either completely banned or tightly restricted. If you're taking your 6000 puff vape on holiday, think twice before bringing it to any of these places.
Singapore
All vapes are banned, regardless of nicotine content. That includes use, sale, importation and even personal possession. Travellers have had devices seized at customs and fines can be issued on the spot.
Thailand
Vaping is strictly prohibited. Tourists have been fined and devices confiscated at airports and roadside stops. It doesn't matter if your device is refillable, rechargeable or nicotine-free. The ban is broad.
Maldives
Vaping products are banned from import and sale. Travellers who bring them in can face confiscation or fines. There is no allowance for personal use.
Australia
Nicotine vapes are prescription-only and laws vary by state. Disposables are generally not allowed, and many high-capacity devices are treated with suspicion. You may be able to bring one in for personal use, but expect questions.
Brazil, Argentina, Colombia
Several South American countries restrict or ban e-cigarettes and vaping products altogether. Enforcement varies but possession and use may still be illegal or frowned upon, especially in public.
This is not a complete list. Always double-check before flying, even within Europe or Asia, as rules can change suddenly.
What About Europe?
Most European countries allow vaping but have their own rules on where you can vape, what nicotine strength is allowed and whether disposables are legal.
For example, some countries are starting to ban the sale of disposable vapes, especially ones with high puff counts. Others restrict flavours or public use. If you're taking your 6000 puff vape on holiday within the EU, check the local regulations and always pack a spare pod or charger if you’re using a rechargeable system.
Airport and Airline Restrictions
Even if vaping is legal at your destination, you still need to follow airline rules.
-
Carry your device in hand luggage, never in hold baggage
-
Remove the pod or cartridge if required
-
Keep spare pods sealed and under the liquid limit
-
Make sure your device is switched off and cannot activate accidentally
-
Never vape on the plane or in the terminal unless it's a designated smoking area
Most airlines will allow you to carry a 6000 puff vape, as long as it meets standard battery safety rules and isn’t leaking or damaged.
Travel Tips
To make sure your device arrives safe, and stays legal, here are a few practical tips:
-
Stick to one device and a couple of sealed spare pods
-
Keep packaging to show compliance and nicotine content
-
Avoid carrying multiple devices, which can look like commercial stock
-
Use nicotine-free pods if you're unsure about local laws
-
Pack a USB-C charger and ensure the battery is fully charged before you leave
If you're ever unsure, leave the vape at home or switch to a simpler kit that's easier to explain at customs.
Final Thoughts
Your 6000 puff vape might be the perfect travel companion for a week away in the sun, but not every destination agrees. In some countries, vaping is banned outright. In others, enforcement is strict, even for tourists. Getting caught out could mean losing your device or facing a fine.
Before you go, take a few minutes to check the laws at your destination, pack responsibly and avoid unnecessary risks.
