Question vapin on the Train, or geyhound?

has anyone tried the train(am track) or bus Grey hound tour lines. They used to have a smoking car on the train and allow smoking in the club car(where they sell the booze). but the last time i took the train they had gotten rid of both. I was on the **** train for 15 hours and they let me off at 3 stops for a quick puff (analogs back then) but where mad and rude about it. I think they only let me off to smoke cause at that point my nerves were so shout i actually cried and begged them to please, try to understand. It was he** and i vowed never to take a train or bus again. Now I am wondering if I could or if i would only end up trapped and helpless again. would loved to hear from anyone who has tried it.

Default Only tried it on a plane

I tried taking a couple of puffs on an airplane, but go way to paranoid to enjoy it.

I also tried to vape in the lavatory of the plane, but I realized that there was a strong current of air pulling the vapor directly towards the smoke detector. I remember reading about Steve from PS setting off the alarms, so I gave up and sat down.

I guess, if the lavatories in the buses or trains don't have smoke detectors that the vapor gets sucked towards, you could give it a try.

I haven't tried it- but if you do try it, Id explain to the people around you what it is *first, so they don't freak out. Also another poster told someone it was their personal humidifier and that he needed it for a health reason (sanity is a good health reason, right?) and then had no prolems using it. If all else fails you can go in the bathroom- even if you set off an alarm no one will smell smoke! lol

The sink drain in an airplane has a constant sucking action. Blow the vapor down the sink.

Seems like it SHOULD be safe to vape in one of the Amtrak sleeping cars since there's nobody sitting near you to complain. But I've never tried it. Has anyone else?
