One traveler said they brought a vape last year both in a suitcase and in a backpack. They also stressed that the ban and potential fines are well known, so getting through once does not mean it is legal or risk-free.

Another reply says that some people have no issues when carrying a vape on their person, while travelers with it in carry-on luggage or a suitcase sometimes get fined. The same message notes that some people still use vapes locally, but that does not change the legal ban.
