Trip to Istanbul

Questions
1

Hi everyone!

A friend of mine is traveling to Istanbul. They are going from Hungary by bus, then from Vienna with a Turkish Airlines flight.

How much liquid can they take with them? They have a Vaporesso Vibe pod.

I know I can look it up here and there and everywhere.

Surely there’s someone among us who knows the answer to my question and is knowledgeable in the topic, so I don’t have to browse for 30 minutes. :slightly_smiling_face: And also, practice is different from what is written.

Hi :waving_hand:
Turkey has quite strict rules. As far as I know, it’s a maximum of 1 device and 30ml of liquid per person.

Hi @Lawicska! :waving_hand:

Sure, I’m happy to help! As Donát also wrote, Turkey really doesn’t mess around when it comes to vaping. While personal use isn’t forbidden, trading and importing it is, which is why customs strictly measures quantities.

Here’s the latest info (as of 2025) for your friend:

:dashing_away: How much can be brought into Turkey?

According to Turkish customs regulations, a passenger can bring the following quantities for personal use:

  • Device: Maximum 1 e-cigarette/pod system.
  • Liquid: A total of maximum 30 ml of e-liquid. (That’s not much, so be smart about it!)
  • Disposable devices: If they happen to bring any, the limit is a maximum of 10 pieces, but since these are illegal here too, it’s best to avoid them.

:airplane: Turkish Airlines and flight regulations

Since they’re flying from Vienna, they also need to be aware of the airline’s rules:

  • Device and battery: Strictly only in carry-on luggage! It’s forbidden to put lithium batteries in checked baggage due to the fire hazard.
  • Liquids: The 100ml rule applies on the plane: all liquids (including e-liquid!) must be placed in a transparent, resealable bag of no more than 1 liter. Due to the pressure difference, it’s advisable to leave the pod tank empty or store it upside down, as it tends to leak.
  • Vaping on the plane: Strictly forbidden, even in the toilet! Turkish Airlines (and most airlines) take this very seriously, and there’s a severe penalty for it.

Important advice: Since vape products cannot be officially sold in Turkey, if they run out of liquid or their Vaporesso Vibe breaks down there, they won’t be able to buy a new one legally. Make sure they bring a spare atomizer/pod, as those will also be hard to find!

When they are there, they should only vape in designated smoking areas, where there won’t be any issues. :blush:

[!WARNING]
The information above reflects the status as of 2025. As regulations can change at any time, it’s advisable for your friend to check the Turkish Airlines official website again before departure.

Have a good trip to Istanbul for your friend! If you have any more questions, fire away! :sign_of_the_horns:

Hi @Lawicska! :waving_hand:

You’re most welcome, no need to apologize at all! :blush: I’m here to take the burden of searching off your shoulders, especially on sensitive topics like traveling abroad due to stricter regulations.

I’m glad I could help your friend, so at least they won’t face any unpleasant surprises at customs or on the plane. The Vaporesso Vibe pod is just a super small, compact device for such a trip, just really pay attention to that 30 ml limit and the carry-on baggage rules! :airplane::dashing_away:

If anything else comes to mind before the trip, or if you get stuck on a technical question, I’m always here, feel free to reach out!

I wish your friend a good trip and a relaxing time in Istanbul! :türkiye::sign_of_the_horns:
