Are Vapes Allowed on Flights in Canada? THC Carts & 510 Battery Travel Guide

Yes, you can bring a vape on a plane in Canada, but with strict limitations.

Both electronic cigarettes and weed vaporizers are permitted onboard, as long as you follow CATSA’s rules. The key distinction lies in where and how you pack them.

You can carry your 510 thread vape battery, weed vaporizer, and THC cartridges in your carry-on luggage, but they cannot go in your checked bags. This is because lithium-ion batteries pose a safety risk when stored in the cargo hold.

Restrictions on THC Carts and Vape Juice

Transport Canada enforces the same liquid restrictions for vape juice and THC oil as it does for toiletries. Any liquid, including THC vape juice or refillable e-liquid, must be stored in containers of 100 ml or less and fit inside a clear, resealable plastic bag for security screening.

Pre-filled THC cartridges (510 carts) can be brought in your carry-on bag, but make sure they’re properly sealed to prevent leaks during cabin pressure changes.

If you’re traveling internationally, remember: while THC cartridges are legal in Canada, they may be prohibited in your destination country. Always research local cannabis laws before flying.

Understanding Canadian Aviation Regulations

Before you fly, it’s important to understand CATSA’s vaping and battery guidelines.

  • Vapes and e-cigarettes must be carried in your hand luggage.
  • 510 batteries and vape devices powered by lithium-ion cells cannot go in checked baggage.
  • Spare batteries must be individually protected to prevent short-circuiting (store them in plastic cases or original packaging).
  • Most 510 thread batteries fall below the 100 Wh limit and are safe for air travel.
  • Different airlines may have additional rules, so it’s best to double-check your carrier’s website before packing your vape.

Can You Use a Vape Pen on a Plane?

No, using or charging any vape device on an aircraft is strictly prohibited.

This includes 510 thread batteries, THC carts, and weed vaporizers.
Vaping or smoking of any kind is against airline and federal aviation regulations, and violations can result in heavy fines or criminal charges.

Wait until you’ve landed and cleared security before using your vape.

Packing 510 Thread Batteries and Weed Vaporizers

If you’re bringing a weed vaporizer or 510 vape battery, follow these packing tips:

Keep your device in your carry-on, not your checked bag.
Turn it off completely before boarding.
Remove THC cartridges or attachments to prevent leaks.
Store spare 510 thread batteries in cases or sleeves to avoid accidental activation.
Clean your vaporizer before traveling, especially if you’ve been using THC products.

Following these steps keeps your vape travel-ready and compliant with Canadian air safety laws.

Why Use a 510 Thread Battery for Travel

A 510 thread battery is the best travel vape setup for Canadian cannabis users. It’s discreet, compact, and easy to store in your carry-on.

Here’s why it’s perfect for flying:

  • Works universally with most THC and CBD carts
  • Small enough to fit easily in your pocket or travel kit
  • Charges quickly and safely via USB or USB-C
  • Ideal for beginners or casual travelers who want a simple weed vape solution

Tips for Traveling with a Vape

Here are a few quick reminders to ensure your flight goes smoothly:

  • Check airline-specific policies. Some carriers may have additional restrictions on vapes and batteries.
  • Follow the 100 ml liquid rule. This applies to THC oil, e-liquid, and other vape fluids.
  • Know your destination laws. Even if your THC cart is legal in Canada, it may not be elsewhere.
  • Power off your device. Prevent accidental activation during your flight.

A little preparation goes a long way in keeping your vape and your trip hassle-free.

Traveling with Vapes and 510 Thread Batteries in Canada FAQ

Can I bring my vape on a plane in Canada?

Yes. You can bring your vape, 510 battery, or weed vaporizer in your carry-on luggage, but not in checked baggage.
Can I bring THC cartridges on a plane?

Yes, pre-filled THC carts are allowed in carry-on bags as long as they follow the 100 ml liquid limit and are sealed properly.
Can I use or charge my vape pen on a plane?

No. Vaping, smoking, or charging any vape device, including 510 thread batteries, is prohibited on flights.
Are 510 batteries allowed in checked bags?

No. 510 thread batteries contain lithium-ion cells and must be carried in your hand luggage for safety.
Can I bring a vape in my carry-on?

Yes. In Canada, vapes and e-cigarettes are allowed through security and onto the plane in your carry-on baggage or on your person. CATSA lists electronic cigarettes as permitted in carry-on, and Canadian airlines require them to stay out of checked luggage because of lithium-ion battery fire risk. You still can’t use or charge your vape on the plane.
Can I bring my vape on a domestic flight in Canada?

Yes. You can fly within Canada with a vape, including weed vapes and nicotine vapes, as long as you:


  • Pack the device and any loose batteries in your carry-on only

  • Keep any e-liquid or THC oil within the 100 ml liquid limit

  • Do not use or charge the device on board (this is a Transport Canada safety requirement)
Can I leave my vape in my pocket on the plane?

Generally yes, as long as it stays off and unused. Transport Canada and airline guidance treat vapes like other battery devices: they should be on you or in your carry-on, not in checked bags, and you must prevent accidental activation.

Use travel mode/lock if your device has it, and don’t take any hits on board. Vaping on the aircraft is prohibited.
Can I put my vape in checked baggage?

No. In practice, you should not pack vapes or lithium-ion vape batteries in checked luggage when flying from or within Canada.

Transport Canada has issued a safety advisory about the fire risk of electronic cigarettes in checked baggage, and airlines like WestJet explicitly list e-cigarettes and lithium-ion batteries as “carry-on only.”

Put the device and any spare 510 batteries in your cabin bag instead.
How do I bring a vape on a plane with Air Canada?
  • Carry-on only: Electronic cigarettes are allowed in carry-on baggage, not in checked bags.
  • Stowed and unused: Air Canada’s baggage page says e-cigarettes must remain stowed and unused in your carry-on
  • Liquids under 100 ml: Any vape liquids must follow the standard security liquid rules (100 ml or less in a clear bag).
What’s the best vape setup for travel?

A compact 510 vape pen paired with a THC cart is ideal for travel. It’s portable, easy to pack, and compatible with most cartridges.
Do I have to declare my vape at customs when entering Canada?

Yes, if you’re a visitor bringing vape products into Canada, you must declare them at customs. CBSA says non-residents and temporary residents must declare all alcohol, tobacco and vaping products when they arrive. If you’re a Canadian resident returning home with vape products from abroad, you also need to declare them as part of the goods you’re bringing back. If in doubt, declare it. That’s CBSA’s own advice.
Can I travel with a vape within Canada?

es, Canadian travellers routinely fly with vapes. The core rules are:

  • Pack devices and spare batteries in carry-on only
  • Keep liquids (nicotine e-juice or THC oil) at 100 ml or less per container for security screening
  • Don’t vape or charge devices on the plane
  • Follow cannabis possession limits and local laws wherever you land

As long as you follow CATSA, Transport Canada and your airline’s guidelines, travelling with a vape in Canada is normally straightforward.
What vapes are allowed in Canada?

Most standard vape devices (e-cigarettes, refillable systems, disposables and 510 batteries) are legal as long as they follow Canadian safety and packaging rules. For nicotine vapes, Health Canada’s Nicotine Concentration in Vaping Products Regulations cap legal products at 20 mg/mL of nicotine. Products that exceed 20 mg/mL or don’t meet labelling and safety standards aren’t allowed to be sold legally in Canada. For cannabis vapes, THC cartridges and devices must come from provincially or federally licensed cannabis retailers.
Can vapes be seized by customs?

Yes. CBSA warns that if you don’t declare alcohol, tobacco or vaping products when crossing the border, those products can be seized permanently and you may face penalties. Vapes can also be seized if they don’t comply with Canadian law, such as unstamped commercial quantities or nicotine strengths above the legal limit.
Can I bring a vape on a plane in Canada with WestJet?

Yes, but WestJet is strict about where you pack it:

  • Vaping devices, e-cigarettes and lithium-ion batteries are listed as “carry-on only” in WestJet’s dangerous goods information. They cannot go in checked baggage.
  • You can’t vape or charge the device during the flight.

Check WestJet’s current travel advisories before you fly, as limits (for example, number of devices) can change.
