    Also, I have doubts that vapor would set off the bathroom smoke detectors on a plane. IDK Anyone tested it???
    I think Cash from puresmoker did many months ago and yes, it does set them off.

    I guess, for traveling, you need some unflavored juice or something that smells like candy. If they don't see the vapor, what are they going to do, complain that you ate too many peppermints?

    I had about 6 attys and 6 batteries and a lot of carts in my carry on inside of a small camera bag. They didn't say anything about it.

    I did pack the chargers and my PCC in my checked baggage.


    This is his girlfriend.... So I am flying southwest.... What I am getting from what you said is you can carry them on the plane, but you are not allowed to use them on flight... Is that right? I dont want to end up having to leave them behind.. Dont want to pick up smoking again for a week. So Southwest does allow them on the plane but not allowed to use them?

    I'm guessing you could use them. Just as long as you don't look the pic in your avatar while you do it. Like I said before (sign or no sign), I'm using mine til they tell me I can't. And to do that, they would have to know I was doing it. I have become quite good at stealth vaping. I'm like a ninja.

    Forgive me, I'm still in awe of my brand new Chuck but this thing is 7 1/2 inches long with the (801) atomizer and cartridge. How in the world could you possibly stealth vape that anywhere, much less in the sardine-can quarters of an airplane?

    I'm just asking because I'm curious. My upcoming flight is only about 2 hours long so I'm not too concerned about holding out. When I was still smoking and lived in San Francisco and traveled to New York, it was much worse.

    Sorry, I didn't mean stealth vape my chuck on a plane. Especially not the big one with an 801 on it (that's like a small bo-staff ). That's one of those rare occasions where I would throw a couple KR8's in my pocket (Well, KR808 batts with GC cartos. I don't care for the 808 cartos at all.)

    Stealth vaping with the chuck usually has to be done where nobody has a line of sight on it. Like with your back turned to others, or around a corner, or in a dark movie theater, restroom stall, etc. I suppose I could do it on a plane with a chuckif I had the window seat. Just turn your head toward the window like you're looking out and vape from the side. An 801 on a big chuck puts out a ton of vapor though. So you might want to 'downsize' for the flight.

    Since we're on the subject of stealth, I have found that the best method is to take a hit, hold it for 10 seconds or so. (that part everyone seems to agree on). But then I hear a lot of people say that they blow it out slowly. I do just the opposite. I blow it in a fast, tight stream. Like I am trying to blow out a candles on a cake that's 10 feet away(only in a downward direction). I find that the smaller the hole in the lips and the faster I blow, the less visible it is. Blowing out this way, you really don't even need to hold it in.

    Exactly!

    Just keep them in your carry-on when you go through security.
    Most of the time I feel like a zombie, and not one of the awesome dawn of the dead ones either... More like a night of the living dead one... All slow and retarded

    Ah, thanks. Obviously, I misunderstood you.
