I don't understand why so many people want to confront the airlines. Why not just go to the lavatory? With the recent incident where a terrorist tried to set himself on fire, do you really want something that appears to be smoke rising from your seat? When you are shot through the head by a Sky Marshall, what do you think the airlines are going to do about e-cigs then? This confrontational posturing is exactly the kind of thing that will get e-cigs banned everywhere.

3) i don't require anything that resembles smoke as i vapinize.
4) if a sky marshall shoots me in the head, you think i give a dang what the airlines do about e-cigs?

How considerate you are to fellow vapers...
cldickerson has a point. A lot of people are still ignorant or not as informed as people in this forum. Just go to friggin lavatory you lazy-...
,its not that far.
I agree. I always go to the lavatory when I vape. I make sure I get a isle seat and then it's no problem just to get up and go to there.
but the grossly overweight lady in the row behind me just came outta there, and she had the cabbage and boiled eggs for her meal ...Just go to friggin lavatory you lazy-...
OK but there was a post (yesterday, the day before???) where an e cig blew up, battery on fire, explosion, flames. Let that happen one time on a plane and you can forget e cigs in the cabin, at all!
I have a flight on Southwest Airlines in a week and a half... according to my google find, Electronic cigarettes in legal gray area they don't allow.
bummer.
bummer.
Southwest explicitly prohibits electronic cigarettes. I read it on the last page of their in-flight magazine 3 weeks ago.
Doh! I guess that's what I get for booking a flight when I wasn't a PV user.
Next time I will fly a vape friendly airline for sure.
However, since my bags fly free....hmmm...
I am going to England this year and my questions are : can you bring your gear, the e-cig, batteries etc? Will this pass on your carry on luggage? How about the juice? I can try to get thru the flight without vaping but sure want to start vaping once I arrive in England. 
Interesting thread!
I'm a cabin crew myself and I haven't heard any of my smoker colleagues used a e-cig yet. I can imagine if they see someone vaping inflight they will definiately freak out!
As for vaping in the lav, my advice is to be very careful - I remember seeing statistics (during safety training) of how the air fresher we use can sometimes actually set off the smoke alarm in both Airbus and Boeing aircrafts! Air fresher, imagine that. We were told to point the air fresher to the toilet/ground in order not to set off the alarm.
I wouldn't vape inflight or in the lav myself, just in case I set off the alarm myself, lol. Although it would be nice if I could get a hit of nicotine during a dreadful overnight long-haul flight!
Also, I can's see why we can't bring our ecig gear on the plane, as long as the juice bottle is under 100ml, it should be fine.

Welcome here Moon, the thread starter "Riaflight25" is also a cabin crew and vapes constantly.
Welcome Moon! Great to see another vaping Flight Attendant! PTJD is correct, I use my PV on a regular basis while working, just in stealth mode. I used to dread those 9+ hour longhaul flights (90% of the flying on my roster) Now they are a breeze!
Safe Travels,

I flew Southwest at Christmas - Detroit to Phoenix to Vegas to Chicago to Detroit. I didn't read the manual and vaped all the way.
I only had my husband in the seat next to me and I didn't make a point of letting anyone see but vape, I did.Whoops, I guess.
I'm flying on Sunday (my first flights since switching to vape) and, of course, my boss booked it on Continental. After seeing their prohibition of e-cigs, I can definitely say that I'll do what I can to avoid flying Continental in the future.
