I have a flight next month on United skywest. I am happy to see that it is allowed sometimes so I will ask first. I keep my e-juice in a small 3 mil bottle and have it hanging on my keys in a metal pill container. Is this going to be ok? Does the x-ray machine hurt any batteries or attys?

I take it there would be no issue vaping on an American Airlines flight if you got up and used the bathroom. Those smoke detectors, as far as I know, are just for smoke. They're not going to go off for "vape." Any issue there?

A smoke detector is only a device that measures the about of particulates in the air. Smoke has dark heavy particulates that will set off the detector and cause an alarm. Vapor is just mist and will most likely not cause the detector to detect anything. I would not recommend blowing your vapor directly at the smoke detector but it should not be able to see the vapor. You can always test on you home smoke detector. I would warn everyone about one thing, we have used FOG machines in gymnasiums to test smoke detectors in the past but the about of FOG needed was much more then our PV's produce.
I have been in the Fire Alarm businesses for about 14 years but I have never seen the specks on the airline smoke detectors.

I remember reading someone say they blew directly into the smoke detector on a flight and it went off. I dont know how true that is, not to call the person a lier, and I dont remember if it was just someone else saying they read it but just in case I wouldnt blow it directly into the smoke detector. Discretion is key when it comes to vapes on a plane. Last thing you want is Samuel L. Jackson yelling "I'm tired of these mother f'ing vapes on this mother f'ing plane." sorry I couldnt help myself.

I just tried to set off the smoke detector in my house but couldn't.

Oddly enough it does go off when I open the bathroom door after a shower.

I had a couple customers ask me about vaping on airplanes and it would seem to me that what is going to freak out a flight attendant or more importantly, the people who are checking you before you get on the plane is going to be finding a small electronic device.

It LOOKS like something kind of devious to someone who is looking for devious things.

KLM Royal Dutch, Air France, and Northwest Airlines all allow vaping.

Wow...That is great news..I am flying Northwest next week. Also has anyone had any issues with taking a device like the Prodigy packed in their check in luggage? Just wondering what it looks like when scanned....sorry I am not a frequent flyer!!

Even if it is allowed, I don't want to draw attention to myself and make things complicated, so I would likely just go to the bathroom every one in awhile and vape for a few minutes. Unless it is 100% completely accepted and allowed, I'd rather save myself the trouble.
