TSA and the Ecig FAQ

[WILDJC]

I plan to keep adding things to this as I go. If anyone has a suggestion as to what should be on here or just a simple question feel free to post it up or pm it to me. That goes for you to WildJC, if you see anything that I missed let me know. I know the STSO's in MCO would find something. It is nice to have a purpose other than random amusement for once.

Yeah. If I hear anything on my side, I'll keep you posted. Keep up the good work!

I'm flying tomorrow to a conference, just wondering if anyone has vaped in an airport and whether it was allowed?

I vape in the airport here in Orlando almost every day. I do it discretely as I dont want to cause an issue with the airport authority here. Look at local laws on vaping as a couple of states actually have some. If vaping is not allowed in nonsmoking areas then there is your answer. Though at the same time one of the best parts about the PV is its ability to be stealthy. You do not have to blow out vast quantities of vapor if you dont choose to.

As 13 says, be discreet. Just did OKC-IAD-PIT no problems vaped all the way. Today its PIT-ORD-OKC, I actually look forward to flights now that I vape. In the past I would worry if a connecting airport has a smoking room or if I had time to go outside past security for a quick smoke.

I asked the customer service personnel and they stated that they were allowed. My son visit's his mother every other weekend so I've been an exclusive vaper for 8 weeks (nine this coming Tuesday at about 9:00AM). I am a constant airport visitor due to this. I have not had any issues, a few time I saw TSA walking around looking in my general direction after I have a few vapes while playing a handheld NES emulator waiting for my son to come or go via the walkway, so I left it on my lap... and just ignored them, and took a vape when necessary.

However:
Some pilot saw me vaping through the window yesterday and apparently made a call and some flippy-trick asked the people who take the tickets if they saw someone smoking. I overheard the question about the smoking but I was using my electronic cigarette, and she, nor the ticket takers had even heard about these. She said "They said that it would st off the fire alarm" I asked "With water vapor, and who is they?" She stated the Airport Police. I told her I'd cease and desist, and did so. After my son was on the plane and gone I asked the people at the counter, they called down to verify and stated that as long that there was "no smoke" this was fine. Sounds like a lot of ignorance and mis-information is floating around. So I puffed a puff for them and left the airport since my sons flight had left the ground. (He'll be back Sunday, so I will continue with prodding the Customer Servix Personna then.)

I currently have an "question e-mail" into Southwest Airlines and I will be donating this info to the world when it arrives.

Vaper Faux Life!

I would link you to the faq but you are already here. the answer you seek though is yes. you can carry your liquid in your quart size plastic bag as long as you have no container labelled more than 3.4oz or 100ml.

Do you think it will be ok to take a nicostick mod on the plane with me?
Or would it be best in main luggage? I don't want to loose it on the way out to my vaccation.

Thanks

So I have the VK, if I was to travel to Australia (Not Queensland where it is banned I heard) how would I go about security? I assume any American security check point would be OK but what about the Australian check points? I ask because I haven't been back home in 4 years and I plan on trying to go next year and I would LOVE to be able to have my PV with me
