jayson_m Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 I recently bought an Elektro brand electronic cigarette and am taking a trip to Europe. I don't need my cig on the airplane, so I was wondering if I am allowed to put it in my checked bag. I'm flying Air Canada and it says on the site that ionizers are prohibited, but it does say that e-cigarettes are approved as long as you're not using them. I'm not worried about damage to/losing my luggage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 They are perfectly legal to carry in your checked in baggage. I would suggest removing your atomizer from the battery before storing. Other than that, you're good to go I travel often and I've never had a problem. Your baggage will be fine. (To put it into perspective, I check in my 9mm when I travel) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 I think the rules actually say to carry on any lithium ion batteries, but I could be mistaken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
