Details
Vape / E-Cigarette requires declaration at customs (and in some cases an import permit) when carried by travelers into Poland.

EU customs harmonisation and EU Regulation 608/2013 IPR enforcement apply alongside national rules. Travelers should consult National Revenue Administration (KAS) — Customs Service for the current quantity threshold + documentation requirement before departure.
Leaving with this item
Vape devices and personal e-cigarette hardware may generally be exported from Poland freely, though many destinations prohibit import.
Practical advice
Carry Vape / E-Cigarette in carry-on where applicable (medication / lithium battery / valuables). On arrival, walk the Red Channel and declare on the customs form. National Revenue Administration (KAS) — Customs Service computes duty + VAT at the published rate. Have the purchase receipt + (for medication) the original prescription available.
