Anyome vape in the toilet in FLIGHT?

[irwink]

last time i flew i packed all my mods and tanks into my carry on bag but kept 1 ego/T3S in my pocket ready to go, i just stealth vaped right in my seat. taking smaller hits with a deep inhale pretty much eliminated all vapor but still gave me the nic i needed to get through the flight

I do this every time I fly and I fly frequently. A short fixed voltage eGo batt still has it's place. I top it with a mini protank. Once through airport security I fill the mini and off I go. I take deep hits and don't exhale until there will be no visible vapor.

Get a patch. Chew some gum. Or exercise some self control. Leave the vape gear in your checked bag. It has no place inside an aircraft cabin. Does this really merit serious discussion?

Uhm.. The DOT wants all lithium and lithium-ion batteries in carry-on, not in checked luggage.

Seeing as how nowadays looking sideways at a TSA agent will get you the rubber-glove treatment and possibly banned for life from flying, I'm okay with NOT committing a felony in the air.

A felony? Really? Got a cite please? As far as I can tell, it's against airlines' policies to vape on a plane, but it is not illegal in and of itself.

I wouldn't take the chance. There are hefty fines (between $1,100 and $11,000) for such shenanigans. Just buy some nicotine gum and vape when you get off the plane.

Not worth the hassle!

Just exhale while holding a cup of coffee to your lips.

I do this in restaurants all the time. People see what they want to see, and assume that coffee is really hot ...

Vaping discreetly in public places is really just protecting the ignorant from their own media-instilled fears. Simple common sense tells you that an exhalation cannot be more dangerous to the second-hand recipient than it is to the first hand source. And vapers are not dropping like flies worldwide, they're getting healthier (due to tobacco cessation) ...

Some days I wish I lived in a climate with real weather. I miss cold humid days when your breath was visible ...

I believe I stated the facts, not whether or not it should be done.

You did not comment on whether it should be done. I did. Where is the confusion here?

 

[aceswired]

Not very selfish at all but I am heavily addicted to nicotine and very well informed about vaping.

If you vape on a plane in an enclosed cabin with other non-consenting people, because failing to do so would make you uncomfortable. . . yeah man. That's pretty much the definition of the word. I don't mean it as a personal attack, but as a description of the behavior. It is selfish. Sorry if you don't like to hear that.

I pass gas worst than any e-cig vapor, is that selfish too? I suppose I should get consent first but I don't feel like explaining to a plane full of people that's it's just harmless vapor. It's hard enough to explain it to you and you apparently vape. I don't feel selfish or in the least bit guilty about what I do when vaping on a plane and don't mind your description of my behavior. That's one of the nice things about living in a free society. You're entitled to your own opinion even if you're wrong. Or maybe I'm wrong... Who cares... Vape on.

Heck, I set off my smoke alarm at home just by cooking

Given the day to day selfish behavior exhibited by the majority of today's moronic 'adults'... Hmmm. I'll probably only sleep 8 hours tonight worrying about it.

My wife does that with some regularity despite having an externally vented 500cfm hood right over the stove. Funny thing is, no amount of vaping (or previously, smoking) by me has ever done it.

My teenage daughter sets off the smoke alarm in the hallway when she showers...

I recently just dropped a few on the back of my hand in air. Works like the patch. No fine no vapor to hide. Piña colada smell to set the vacation mood. The more of you that choose to vape on a plane will just end up making them on the "No fly list". Then we all suffer. To me that's where selfish comes in.


Live Long and Vape!

 

[Rat2chat2]

I've never flown but I imagine everything you can think of has been done there. Glad to have ya here and happy vaping, anywhere.

geez louise how did any smoker EVER manage to fly before vaping was invented??? /sarcasm

Even addicted to nic, I never had a problem not smoking in flight; I knew I HAD to abide by that rule and did it with no issue, so i don't expect to have any problem not vaping while in flight either. I agree with others that it's selfish behaviour to do what *I* want regardless of how others around me -in a small enclosed space- may feel..... but nah, i don't care about them, I only care about what *I* wanna do .... smdh. My behaviour in a public place is not only about what I want - it's also about having respect for others, and being considerate.

And considering the current public and media freakouts on the subject, I think it's just not smart to create more problems for myself. Yeah, WE know it's not 'smoking' and not harmful to anyone around us, but others who are uneducated, or ignorant, or even nasty and full of attitude about it don't know that, and in the current atmosphere, airport authority figures are on THEIR side of the debate - in all things airport, THEY will win every time. I mean jeez, the TSA freaks out about SHOES and WATER BOTTLES fergadssake... why do we want to give them fodder for MORE nastyness towards passengers in general, or to our own selves? We will only put more tension and pressure on our own selves by antagonizing them.

I'm all for educating others when they are open to it - but people on an airplane are generally not open to it. Pissing people off will only harm ourselves (the vaping community) in the long run. Given the current public climate surrounding PV's and e-cigs, and considering the Big Picture - just cause i *can* do something, doesn't mean i *should*. I can wait til this all settles down and is no longer such a tense issue - til then I'm not gonna be militant about pushing the issue, that will only give them even MORE reasons to shut us down forever.

I vape on long haul flights. When the curtain to steerage is closed and the lights go out, anything goes... When I smoked, I waited, but I was miserable...

Great argument. Anyone up for some moral relativism?

Completely unfair to expect someone who chose to be addicted to nicotine to actually exercise some self control for a few hours. Sheesh, what kind of world do we live in where individuals are responsible for dealing with their own choices? The rules shouldn't apply to them.

And of course, it's not selfish.

(you can't make this crap up)

 

[smacuser]

I did the first couple of flights, then found it to be too much of a hassle.




Now I get what I call flight juice; high PG, high strength (stealth technique). Is it vaping when there's no vapor?


Besides, I do enough vaping at the toilet when I'm at home.

Well, some of us are old enough to remember when one could smoke on airliner.

Even addicted to nic, I never had a problem not smoking in flight

Oh, I did. But nicotine gum was always enough to repress the urge to open the emergency exit so I could go out on the wing for a smoke at 35,000 feet.
