Travel Note

If you vape...

I'm here to tell you to stock-up. Italy does not care about vapes, they are a cigarette smoking country. You will NOT be able to find vapes in any random corner-store. They are difficult to find and will likely not be the brands you are used to. You will DEFINITELY NOT be able to find any form of vape juice either. Don't be bringing your withdrawal episodes and crankiness to this wedding if your vape runs out. Bring extra vapes and/or extra juice! You've been warned.
