This past Sept I went through the airport with my e-cig in my carryon. No problems. On my first flight it went through without a second look. On the second flight they did look twice at the scanners. I don't know if it was the e-cig that they looked at again or not. I just put it in the same pocket that I had my ipod, headset, cell phone and DS in figuring it would get lost among all the othe electronics so I wouldn't have to explain it.

I had a friend who has flown with them, she knows someone who worked at the airline and they said it should be fine.
You might want to call the airline for your own piece of mind though.

Thank you so much for the reassurance. I checked the TSA website. They do not have many restrictions for electronics.
I just returned from a couple of flights --- Calgary to Vegas, Vegas to Detroit. I carried my e-cig in my pocket and charger etc in my carry-on. Not even a second look by security. Delta did have a notice on the airplane that said "no smoking including e-cigarettes", so they obviously are well aware of them.
That's good information. International flights lately have been crazy on checking people so if you got through without issue then I think in states flights would be good too.
I wonder if they say no e-cig's because of people or because the vapor *may* set off the smoke detectors?
I flew twice this year and had no problem. I even put my 30ml bottle in with the other liquids in the baggy. It was wonderful being able to vape (in the bathroom) on my layover in Houston. I did vape on the plane because there was no one around me. Made me pretty nervous though.
I also flew a month ago and dropped my e-cig in the tray with my watch and phone and such...and it went right through with no question. Round tripper with no problems. Also had a 10ml bottle of liquid in a baggie. Have to say...I was both nervous and relieved.
