There are strict guidelines when it comes to ships or planes regarding vaping because of the lithium-ion battery that can cause a fire when it overheats.

So pack your vaporizer to the following regulations:

• Remove your battery and remember to take an extra battery with you. A battery case will come in handy so that your batteries don’t get damaged.
• If you have a vaporizer that can’t remove its battery, make sure that your device is turned off by the button and that it is secure so that it can’t come on by accidentally.
• Putting your vaporizer in its original box is a great idea because the device will fit perfectly inside the box and will not move around.
• Remember to take extra of your replaceable components
