Hey Everyone!
I know its been a long time since Ive been around, as my flying schedule has been somewhat erratic as of lately. Lots of new contracts and exciting destinations coming soon. But Im back now.
Before I go any farther, I must say that Im honored that so many here on ECF know my name as "The guy to ask for vaping on a plane info" If im not around or posting frequently, feel free to PM me anytime. PTJD and Jim Davis also are some roadwarriors with excellent advice on vaping while travelling!
As a short answer, I can tell you that vaping in the airplane lavatory will not set off the smoke detector IF you ARE CAREFUL. Any vapor that is exhaled must be down twoard the floor, or down the sink drain if its equipped with a vaccuum suction system.
However, as one member stated... not all smoke detectors are created equally! Especially those installed on aircraft lavatories. Its not the smell that triggers them, its a photo sensor that in essence measures light density between the sensor and a light source. Rest assured if you are vaping while standing, exhaling huge plumes of vapor, or exhaling anywhere near the detector, it will go off, and scare the living ..... out of you to boot! I'll post a blog entry right now to touch more on this topic in more detail.
Thanks again for all the questions, keep em coming!
Safe Travels as always,
