Travel and Vaping Airplanes and Vaping doable?

[Truthbrigader1]

What a GREAT Video! I really ENJOYED THE RIDE. THANKS SO MUCH! Now get out there and DO IT "Commercially"...the more vapin' going on UP THERE, the sooner they're gonna say - "All right, I guess THIS vapin' thing IS for real and here to stay".
God Bless you all re-e-e-eal good!
In HIS Love & Service,

I too do it wherever I please. I am not one to hide what I am doing and never will either. I don't understand all the hand wringers on this site either, it is rather silly in my opinion. People are people though and many of the people have been brainwashed or have drank the kool aid so long they have lost all sense of personal identity and choice. I won't hide the fact that I was a smoker and I will be damned if I will hide the fact that I vape now. The anti crowd and the government can kiss my narrow azz!

Anybody have any experience flying Delta, United, U.S. Airways, Korean Air or Singapore? I understand some airlines, like Delta, have added notices in their in-flight magazines to forbid vaping on board. Does anyone have any experience with this?

I am planning a trip to Vietnam. I think this entails like 29 hours of flight time.

My plan would be to get a window seat and stealth vape (no exhaling) with a black KR808D-1 and a blue LED.

But, what happens if you get caught? I mean it is not illegal, so do you just say, "Oh, I'm sorry." and put it away?

I understand some Irish airlines are selling smokeless cigs, called Similar or something, on their aircraft. Does anyone know if they are allowed on Delta, etc.?

 

[PTJD]

No, vaping is not illegal, yet. However if flight crew asks for your PV, ya better hand it over.
Because not listening to a flight crew can get you in trouble.

I just flew on Korean airlines for a week long business trip. I had no problem stealth vaping both ways. I was in the business class cabin and purposely chose the window seats in the back closes to the wall.

 

[oldlady]

Thanks, Ponda.

I am trying to decide whether to fool with ordering the Similar cigarettes or have a go with the stealth vaping. The trip isn't for months. Maybe by then we will know more about the likely fate of e-cigs on airplanes.

 

[Jim Davis]

The fate of e-cigs on planes has already been determined. Check the back pages of the in-flight magazines. Most Airlines have banned the e-cig for in-flight use.

 

[tribalmasters]

I stealth vaped mine all the way and back from Egypt on Thomson no one even saw thanks to stealth juice and a window seat! Got my Similar smokeless cigarettes yesterday and they are rubbish!

Hi,

I just read through these posts and thought - I'm gonna test this. I don't have an airplane, so I grabbed the smoke detector from upstairs and gave it a go and video'ed it.

Check out my YouTube account: Smoke2Vape

And see the results!

Happy Xmas all!

left my vp1 in my duffel bag carry on and vaped 510 on delta flights from indianapolis to jacksonville and back no problem. a little nervous at first but eventually vaped almost regularly. obviously holding breath as long as i could..sometimes little escaped im sure someone must have seen something as i was doing it all to that horrible time when everyone stands up in the aisle after landing waiting to leave...had liquid and both e cigs in my duffel bag..which was very unassuming looking..no computer etc..just clothes. this was early feb 2010

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,

Good to have you back RIA. It's been a little empty without you here.

 

[PTJD]

Yeah, good to see you back RIA!!! Need to pop in more often!
Oh, hope your doing well 13ways!

I'm doing good. Still lurking in the shadows answering questions as they arise. I guess that kind of makes me a troll, a good kind if there is such a thing.

**edit**
thinking about that for a second, could you imagine a troll in real life that only popped out when someone asked a question? Maybe I just have an over active imagination but I could just see a big hair monster jumping out at someone and scaring the bejebus out of them and then simply answering a question then slowly disappear into the shadows again. It made me chuckle.

just got back from a us air trip from calif to south carolina and back.
i put my mods in my checked luggage and brought two stock joye510 in my carryon.
first, the bad news. upon arrival to my hotel i realized that (apparently) tsa had taken one of my 14500s and one 510 cart. why? i dunno.
and when i got home i was missing another cart and an atty. weird.
anyway, leaving california the joye didn't even cause anyone to look in my backpack. once on the plane, i asked if i could use it. she asked what it was, so i told her and then used it. she said go ahead, but i'd have to stop if anyone complained. so vaped the entire flight from my seat (though blowing vapor down to not disturb anyone).
on the flight home, tsa did take them out of my backpack, and again i had to explain what they were. the let them through. this flight, however, told me i could absolutely not use it.
it seems that neither tsa nor us air has any hard/fast rules about these just yet.

Did Manchester UK to Orlando FL and back last week. No problems at all - the interest shown was by one of the "2nd phase" security guys at Manchester who took my SD out of its leather case to look at it (he grunted and put it back)

I did it flying Orlando to LA a few weeks ago. On the outbound trip, my neighbor was not a nicotine user but was definitely interested in the device.

No problems with it going through security at MCO or LAX. I just disassembled and put inside a pocket of my ukulele case.
