Cabin only - carry it on.
- E-cigarettes and vapes must be in the cabin, never checked.

You can take an e-cigarette or vape on Ryanair only in the cabin (in your cabin bag or on you): Ryanair lists electronic cigarettes among items carried with you in the passenger cabin, not in the hold, and says using them at any time during the flight is strictly prohibited. The device must not exceed 100 Wh. Spare batteries, up to 20 in total each up to 100 Wh, must also stay in carry-on baggage.
