E-smoking on an airplane?

Yup, the drain on the bathroom sink sucks the water right out, and presumably the air too! On Virgin Atlantic 747s I just held open the drain and blew the vapour down there. Same probably applies to the lavatory flush, but I didn't fancy sticking my face down the bowl

Yup i remember in the mid 90's when most International flights went Non-smoking, the complimentary feminine hygiene pads in the lavatories were disappearing due to smokers taping them to the detectors and blowing smoke into the sink!

The galley drains and sink drains in the bathrooms on most commercial aircraft dump outside of the aircraft. Because the aircraft is pressurized, there will always be suction at the drain itself.

In three days I leave from Green Bay and fly to chicago from chicago to vegas. I plan on using mine the whole way. I'm not sure what flite the wife has us on, I think it's United Airlines. My wife and the other couple I go with are all heavy smokers. They kinda pick on me a little for vaping and say it's going to get confiscated in security. Finally I told them all when I am on the plane vaping away in pure comfort, and they are pulling their hair out, not to come crying to me cause they are not getting any. Maybe I could sell it to them for a buck a drag.

Well I am back. Thought I would let everyone know how it went. In all the airports I vaped right out in the open. No problems whatsoever. On the plane, (it was United airlines by the way) I vaped in my seat but tried to be as discreet as I could about it. No problems at all. I think as long as you talk to the people you are sitting directly next to it won't be a problem.

Btw, I came back with more money than I left with. Which is nice,lol.

Checked with the flight attendants at Southwest airlines the other day about smoking my ecig on the plane. The said they would prefer me not to smoke it in my seat but said I could come to the back by the bathrooms and puff away. So i did, got some strange looks from the passengers in the back but the flight attendants thought it was cool.

Delta Airlines has a no e-cig policy. I spoke with a flight attendant at great length about them. She old me that since delta doesn't allow them that it is a FAA Violation and if I did Vape on the plane they would fine me Thousands of dollars. I didn't risk it and went into the bathroom and vaped away. Ecigs will not set off the smoke detectors.

I think a security concern might top any health concern. How easy would it be to make our little tube or pipe into a weapon? Hmmm. Could it be used as a triggering device? I would not be surprised if an airline said "no" to boarding with it.

That is the reason I check my pv when flying. Of course they're going to be suspicious of a little metal tube that lights up in a place where you have to take off your shoes to go through security and you can't board with a normal sized bottle of shampoo.

Cool Thread. Nice hints on flights.

I spent a night in the hospital last week, recovering from an inguinal hernia surgery. Started to vape 1 hour after I got recovered from the anesthesia. Spent the whole day and part of the night vaping, watching TV and talking to friends on the Internet. Just was careful so the nurse wouldn't catch me puffing, LOL...

No reason to do that as far as I can tell.

I've flown a number of times with my Chucks, and with normal 510 setups.
I just put them in the tray with my shoes and run them through.

I keep waiting for someone to say something, or ask me about them.
So far, no one has even said a word.
