TL;DR
On domestic flights within Vietnam (e.g. Ho Chi Minh City-Da Nang, Nha Trang-Da Nang), IQOS and vape devices typically pass through security in carry-on luggage without issue, since domestic terminal checks are less strict than international entry. No arrival form is needed for domestic flights - that's only required when entering Vietnam internationally.
Flying between Vietnamese cities (e.g. from Nha Trang) into Da Nang airport, carry-on security checks with an IQOS device usually go through without questions since it's a domestic terminal, not international arrivals.
Before a domestic flight (e.g. Ho Chi Minh City to Da Nang), no online arrival form is needed - those immigration declaration forms only apply when first entering Vietnam from abroad.
Officially IQOS and e-cigarettes fall under Vietnam's ban on sale and circulation, but in practice personal-use devices aren't confiscated on entry as long as you're not carrying large visible quantities.
