It depends on the airline but in most cases, no (unless they don't know you're doing it. 
) Most of us, myself included, have had no trouble with security packing our PVs in our carry-on bags but most airlines forbid their use on board the plane.

Somebody senior here did a great post about that. Search for it.
He said it did set off the alarm when he blew directly into the detector.
He suggested exhaling into the toilet.....

An airline pilot said that you will set off the sensor if you do it in the bathroom. Blow the vapor into your shirt or a handkerchief.
About smoke detectors... I live in a college dorm room and me and three of my friends have been smoking our eCigs at the same time. A few times it was a bit hazy in the room, but it doesn't linger. Keep in mind this was with three of us smoking constantly for a long while. The detector in my room has never gone off, but this is my personal experience.
smoke detectors are different than what is in a plane.. those are particulate detectors.. a cloud of vapor will set them off.. if you spray deodorant at them that will set them off since there is a beam of light that would be broken
At least one person here set off the smoke alarm on a plane by blowing directly into it. Several others have vaped in the bathroom and not set it off. By blowing at the floor, holding it in for several seconds, or blowing it down the toilet. I haven't been on a plane since I started vaping.
I just stealth vape when I'm on airplanes. No one has a clue. I never had any issues going through security.
As for the smoke alarms, they're set up with a light inside that sets off the alarm if anything passes in it's path. People have set them off with hairspray before.
If you vape in the toilet, just blow it down to the floor. It's proven to work time after time for fellow ECF users.
And like somebody else mentioned earlier, there's been extensive travel threads posted if you search around a bit. Real in-depth stuff has been stickied. Good luck with your travel vaping!

I just flew back to the United States from the Middle East. I had no problems with any of my PV items there, Germany and Chicago. I did stealth vape in my seat and in the bathroom. In the bathroom, I just blew the vapor down towards the floor and never had a problem.
I just returned from a vacation. I stealth vaped on the plane in my seat, in the terminal. No one had a clue. Small hits, and hold it in for as long as you can. I was using a Joye 510. No problem. I just started using a Tornado mod. Bigger battery, bigger vapor. I don't think I would attempt using this on a plane, just TONS of vapor.
I agree, I wouldn't stealth vape in the seat with my tornado. Way too much vapor.
If you stealth it in the seat, do it with a 510 or something equivalent.
But yes it does work awesome to stealth vape in your seat.
I'm a dripper and I have my stock 510 carts drilled out into drip tips. So I find that every time I take a pull off it, I have a little excess vapor coming out of the tip when I take my lips off the cart. So if you're using drip tips on a plane you need to continue to drag on it for a second after you release the button or else you will be noticed.
I have read several articles and I was lead to understand that it was perfectly legal to vape in public places even on public transport, don't know what all the fuss is about after all its only vapour, you're not doing any harm to anyone.

exactly, what davemaneng said!
aren't some airlines even selling e-cigs on board? (if they're not, they should methinks)
as for the smoke alarm - so what, if you set it off - just say you were using your deodorant (hence the smell of roast chicken or an apple pie

)I have never seen them onboard for sale but they do know what it is and are very friendly about it
Yes the smoke detectors can indeed be set off by vapor... I have done it (In testing conditions on the ground with maintenance approval) on many different types of aircraft. Blow to the floor, and dont chief up the place and you will have no issues!
Safe Travels, and happy vaping!
