E-cigs and vape pens

Greetings! This will be my 4th trip to beautiful Zihuantanejo, my last visit was 2018. In the past I've had no problem bringing my e-cigs thru the airport and using them during my stay. The laws have changed in Mexico, if you vape and travel to and from MX, what has been your experience? I generally don't use disposables, just small pens and refillable pods. (non THC)

This is what I found

Can I take my vape to Mexico 2023?
In 2022, Mexico banned the import, sale, and distribution of vaping and heated-tobacco products. This means that it is illegal to bring disposable vapes into Mexico, either in your luggage or on your person. If you are caught with a disposable vape in Mexico, you could be fined or even arrested.Jun 26, 2023

I found the same thing online, and a variety pack of other ones, thought I'd query the message board to see if anyone here has first hand experience in Zihua.

People are reporting having them confiscated and being fined.

Getting 'fined' at the airport would not be a good way to start the trip for sure. I'd rather not smoke, if I can avoid it. Talk about time passing, my last trip down was 2016, not 2018, been far too long. 2 of 4 of us vape, 3 are newbies to Zihua. Bad me, I should have done better research before I booked, but my need to return to paradise was strong.

My experience a couple years ago... I have since given up the habit, but if they find it at customs you will get a 600 percent "tax" for illegal import, but get to keep your goods. No matter how much you have, it will be $3k pesos, although that is negotiable if you're Spanish is good enough.

Again, dear heart, that was several years ago. Glad you kicked the habit!

My son and I each bought boxes of patches. We'll be the ones on the beach with red squares all over us. 3 more sleeps to paradise!
