Air travel and vaping

[col. forbin]

I'm set to take a trip labor day weekend. What's been your experience with airports and your stuff? Any hassles with security? Anyone vaping in the airport? You can actually smoke in the atlanta airport so that's no worry but the others i pass through are smoke free. I'm moreso concerned about hassles with security.

Thanks

There are many threads on this. See the Travel and E-cig forum. I have never had a problem.

I had zero hassle at the airport. I even vaped in austin and Seatac. I also vaped lightly on the plane. When I went potty I also had a couple of good drags. It was the best flight ever, and I didn't mind arriving early at the airport, either.

One of the dudes at Seatac security check questioned what my carts were (in their plastic baggie) and the other dude said "oh, that's an electronic ciggarette, it's ok!"

Granted, I wasn't walking up to the flight attendants and blowing clouds of vapor in their face, but they saw I had it, they saw me take light vapes, and they didn't say a single word.

Lke I said, best flights, ever.

In the UK it seems very much to depend upon the airport/airline you fly with.

One airline won't let you vape in flight but will sell you disposable ecigs to use.

Never had a problem while flying and we've been doing a LOT of it lately!

thanks guys. i was more concerned about security hassles but it's good to hear people are vaping successfully in airports and on planes. I may or may not feel the need to do that.

Security is not a concern at all, not one person has ever had a problem there.

But vaping on the plane is different.
There are airlines that explicitly prohibit vaping now.
And even those that don't explicitly prohibit it are probably not going to like it.

Most people do stealth vaping if they vape on the plane.
