Anyome vape in the toilet in FLIGHT?

Actually, it's up to the airlines to make those rules, and it's because it's easier to say no vaping than it is to try to explain a million times why it's safe.

Those are the kind of things that reflect on all of us when you do it. It's not the right time now or ever to shine a bad light on vaping. Just hang tied and vape when you land.

I havent fly since I vape which is a month ago. Few years ago, i vape chinese ecigs in flight in my seat....not a full flight, and I was all by myself seating at the rear. And those ecigs dont necessarily make lots of vapor.

Now with all the rules being so tight, and our gear making much more vape, when nic cravig kicks in, anyone vape in the toilet in flight?

I vape when I fly, both in my seat (stealth) and in the bathroom. The detector is by the door, so I stand with my back to the door and blow the vape at the toilet. If it's an unexpectedly large cloud, I flush the toilet, which sucks the evidence...somewhere. Don't vape heavily scented/flavored e-juices, and you won't get caught.

Common sense is good at bucking certain bloody laws.

Sigh. Yes, you're a martyr of civil disobedience. Gandhi, MLK Jr., Jman8 vaping on a plane. The Big Three.

I dunno, your version of the Big Three may be more interesting: aceswired, Colonel Klink, and Sauron.

It only takes one person to start a revolution.

It also only takes one person to get the flight turned around and returned to the terminal. The other passengers might not acknowledge or appreciate that definition of civil disobedience.

Stealth vaping on a plane with high PG so there is little vapor is not in my opinion selfish . However I think someone with the the flu on a flight is . A passenger with a virus causes a much higher threat to the rest of the passengers than a stealth vaper trying to get a nic fix once in a while .

People can't help if they have the flu but people can control their nicotine

Cite the law please. It's clearly a felony to assault a crew member. But simple interference is a looks to be civil offense, not criminal, albeit with a fine up to $25k.

I have nothing but my tinfoil hat and general distrust of authority.

I usually use 18 mg (50/50, tobaccos and bakeries), so I'll bump it up to 24 mg. Get 100% PG if possible, and a flavor with little to no scent like a mild fruit or tobacco. Dekang is good for this.

Coffee or tea flavor?

Test it with someone you vape around, like I do when in a car. "Honey, do you smell this?"

Also, use as small of a device (or devices for the long haul) as to be discrete, the higher nic will prevent you from hitting it as often; running down the battery. You might get slightly nic'd out, but that's good in this case.

Practice stealth vaping techniques. YouTube is full of them. Hankies and cups can be awkward if not used to doing that.


BTW - I am not advocating this, it is just my experience.

After the plane has taken off, I will also see if the are seats available that not in the middle of everyone. Maybe pick one online if possible. The second I find I might be getting a weird look, it's off to the toilet, where I pull out the 36 (JK).

Good info for the stealth vape device thread I've been participating in. We have been so concerned with how small we can get the devices, nobody has even brought up stealth juice tech. Thanks.

No, it's easier to say no to vaping than it is to constantly be resetting the smoke detectors (and reassuring the passengers there is no fire aboard) because of all the vapor floating around.

 

[Vermiform]

I'd like to add another thing. Don't attempt stealth vaping while watching or listening to anything remotely funny. One errant laugh and POOF...cloud city. I accidentally did this in a software class last semester.

Good deep drag.... began my second inhale of just air while holding it in, but then the instructor said something funny and POOF...out comes this monster cloud from behind the monitor I was ducking behind. The professor stopped in mid sentence and headed toward my computer intending to unplug it, thinking it had shorted or something. Luckily it just lead to a laugh on his part after a quick explanation and sincere apology from me. I think what saved me the most was that he was a smoker.

Not to mention the delays and associated logistical problems involved with returning to the terminal.

When I smoked, long plane flights were tough. Now that I vape, I crave the nicotine a little less, but they're still tough. It just comes with the territory.

I've been on a flight in which a guy threw a fit about not being able to use his phone while the plane taxied. It was an imposition of, what, 15 minutes? The guy screamed about how it wouldn't scramble the instruments and that it was his right and so on. He stressed out the flight crew and everyone around him. I resolved that if we got delayed because of him, I'd strangle him with the bands from my oxygen mask.

Nobody wants to be that guy.

On the last leg of a flight home last Friday, some guy thought it was more important than everyone getting off the ground on time for him to imbibe too many beers. He was in the men's room 3 times between when he boarded and when they closed the door. I fly almost every week for work and was kind of oblivious to his behavior. We pushed back from the gate and he got up and went into the men's room. That's a big no no in anyone's book. They stopped the plane and when he returned to his seat, 2 men in plain clothes went to him and identified themselves as federal Air Marshals and told him he was subject to arrest for disobeying the flight attendants. This was a short domestic flight from Las Vegas to Southern California. It was an eye opener for me. I thought nothing about the occasional stealth puff in flight. I never knew marshals were on board. Maybe even in the seat next to me. Just something else to consider

It's also worth noting that those guys are among the most well-trained and seasoned folks in law enforcement. Given the requirements of their job, we can count on them to be the most observant people in any given situation.

Maybe even stealth vaping in the seat next to you.

Just something else to consider.

 

[smacuser]

Has anyone ever heard of someone being fined or confronted by a marshal for vaping in flight?

 

[Caffeine7]

It probably hasn't happened yet. I can see it now all over CNN. Evil e cig on airplanes. For the love of Pete!!! What if there was children on the flight?!?! The FDA, EPA and NSA would be involved and firing squads would be reinstated

 

[granolaboy]

I always carry a fact sheet about vaping in my bag in case anybody does question me.

Now THAT is a good idea. Since I've started vaping, I keep getting asked by random strangers all kinds of questions about it. Usually smokers that want to quit. I always take the time to stop and talk to them (hell...maybe I'll help change someone's life), but being able to hand them a fact sheet along with some info about the local vape shops would be awesome!

 

[Singaw]

I thought about getting some business sized cards made with a few links to websites and brief explanation, just haven't gotten around to it yet.

 

[ironyengine]

On the other hand, I did just this on my last flight home from SF a few weeks ago... didn't set anything off but I didn't fill the room either, just took a few puffs quick to unlock the achievement in my own mind. No one seemed to notice.

I'm also pretty sure I saw someone hitting their PV in their seat on the way back. Not condoning or recommending this behavior, just saying it's not going to automatically get you arrested or thrown off the flight or anything as long as you're careful.
