Placing a Juul or any e-cigarette in checked baggage is strongly advised against by various aviation authorities, including the FAA. This is due to the potential fire hazard the lithium batteries in these devices can pose. If an e-cigarette overheats or malfunctions in the cargo hold, it could cause a fire on board. For safety, always carry e-cigarettes, Juuls, and their batteries in your carry-on baggage and never use them during the flight. This precaution helps ensure the safety of all passengers and crew.
