I recently did a flight to and from Amsterdam (from the US).
I carried a box MOD in my pocket with a kayfun, and had two other box MODs and a mech in my carry on (along with everything I'd need in the event I had to rebuild something).
I vaped on the plane without issue (though I was being fairly stealthy about it - which shouldn't be confused with trying to hide everything completely). No one had any idea that I was vaping. I never tried to hide my MOD or when I was taking a hot from it, but I did take precautions to let out little or no vapor.
Though I didn't have what one might call "problems" with Dutch customs, I did have to explain exactly what it was I was carrying (a DNA30 box) and demonstrate for at least 2 people that it was indeed an ecig that worked before I could get on my plane (puffing up quite a cloud in the middle of the airport was quite enjoyable). They were impressed. The TSA and US Customs were a breeze with it. One woman at customs looked at it in the scanner for a second or two longer than normal, but nothing more.
The trick for keeping a kayfun from leaking on a plane is very easy: while on the plane, make sure that the MOD is upside down. Use the seat pocket to hold it in place with the Kayfun pointing down. Not a single drop leaked on any of 4 flights, 2 of them 8 hours long.
I have had the same issue at Schiphol and Vaclav Havel. They know what vape gear is; they just want to see if it only contains e-liquid, not the other...
