Legal under EU TPD regulations
Full details
Spain permits vaping under Real Decreto 579/2017, which transposes the EU Tobacco Products Directive (2014/40/EU). Nicotine-containing e-liquids are capped at 20 mg/mL and refillable tanks at 2 mL capacity; disposables and cartridges up to 10 mL e-liquid volume. Personal import quantities for travelers are not restricted beyond ordinary reasonable use. A broader 2024 Ministerial Order (Plan Integral de Prevención y Control del Tabaquismo 2024-2027) has proposed stricter rules including a disposable-vape ban, but as of 2026-04 this has not yet entered force. No declaration is required for personal quantities.
Rare — Enforcement reported rarely.
Same EU allowances apply. For non-EU arrivals: 4L still wine + 16L beer + 1L spirits OR 2L fortified wine; 200 cigarettes or 100 cigarillos or 50 cigars or 250g tobacco (17+). General goods: €430 for air/sea travelers, €300 for others. Note: Canary Islands, Ceuta, and Melilla have different rules as they are outside the EU customs territory.
Legal to bring personal devices. EU nicotine concentration limit of 20mg/ml applies.
