TSA does not specifically target vapes for removal during security screening. However, your vape or e-cigarette must be in your carry-on baggage only, as FAA regulations prohibit these devices in checked bags. If the x-ray screening triggers an alarm or if there's anything unclear about the contents of your bag, TSA officers may need to inspect it manually. To avoid delays, ensure your vape is easily accessible for inspection and follow TSA guidelines on electronic devices.
