Yes, you can indeed take a vape on a plane. However, you must still follow some rules. You must pack your e-cigarette device as part of your carry-on or hand luggage. Airlines do not allow e-cigarettes in the cargo hold because e-cigarette devices involve two items that airlines consider dangerous - liquids and lithium-ion batteries. Any item containing lithium cannot be stored in the cargo hold due to the risk of lithium catching fire. You will need to carry your e-cigarette with you at all times and not leave it unattended.
