Can I vape in the crapper of a Boeing 767?

Probably has something to do with being 30,000 feet in the air in a metal tube with little glide capability and if anything goes wrong it will be about 5 minutes of sheer terror before dying.

Actually, commercial airliners glide surprisingly well and can stay in the air for more like 15 minutes from 30,000 feet without power. If there's a suitable runway within 60 miles or so, loss of all engine power at cruise altitude is eminently survivable. Examples: Air Canada Flight 143 (a 767), TACA Flight 110 (a 737), Hapag-Lloyd Flight 3378 (an A310), and Air Transat Flight 236 (an A330).

All that said, I use citrus/fruit flavored 4mg nicotine gum on airplanes.

So that makes 15 minutes of terror instead of 5.

Yes, 4mg nicotine gum works wonders on flights. I only use it for airline trips and store it in the freezer.

Meh. Although I haven't been current in a lotta years, I did get a license a couple of decades ago, and I don't think I had a single lesson where my instructor didn't cut the power at least once. Altitude and airspeed are your friends. They give you time, distance, and options.

Love your avatar, Rossum.

Fun fact - Citrus was the call sign of Airtran.

Personally, I wouldn't vape on a commercial flight. It's just not worth the risk of getting caught, or looking suspicious, or giving off vapor or pissing those underpaid and over-worked FA's off, or an air marshal...

As many have suggested, just get a patch, gum or some chewing pouches.

(Oh and you forgot Speedbird 9 which was a BA 747 that lost all engines while flying through an ash cloud)

I would never recommend anyone to try vaping on a flight - imagine the embarrassment if you got caught LOL However...........................................on a recent flight I had nobody sitting next to me and I stealth vaped IN my seat (no vapor - I was careful) AND in the WC - where I blew a fairly large cloud down the toilet. I felt rather silly, but totally adventurous.

I should add that I'm almost 60 and extremely traditional. I suppose I just had a 'dare me' sort of day

I still say don't do it!

Absolutely! Just remove head prior to flushing.

Now, as to da local Fed holding cell, noper!!!

I've done it on flights to and from Alaska. Especially the flight from ANC to DTW, 7 hours. If the sink drain is a vacuum drain blow in to it. Otherwise I just hold it in until it dissipates. If I get a window seat in first class I stealth vape while everyone else is sleeping another good reason to take the redeye out of Anchorage.

If I fly through SLC no need to cape on the plane. Depending on head/tail wind SLC is only 4 or 5 hours from Anchorage.

When I smoked SLC was my favorite airport as they still have smoke shacks in each terminal.

Well yes it can - we actually had an ECF-er take one for the team on this and try it.

If you do vape on planes in the seating area, then just cover yourself with a blanket, make like you're going to sleep and blow it down your shirt - blowing down your shirt also works in the loo. But you dont get a lot of joy from it by the fear of being busted. Higher PG vs VG will also help make the vapor a little less.

I heard it will vape out the armpits if you blow it in your shirt. But then a severe case of giggles is probably better than setting off an alarm.

You guys are vaping GUM??

Yeah. I should probably say good night soon

 

[sdennislee]

Yeah. I should probably say good night soon

I would think vaping gum would produce serious clouds

Only at .275 ohms.

I had no issues on a 737 recently but I kept it short & sweet. Also, smoke rises whereas vapor stays low like fog so blow down. I've set off many, many smoke detectors just trying to fry bacon but not a single one with my little egos/EVODs.

I used to work at a video game company where every year we'd go nuts decorating for Halloween. Each department picked a theme and there was a contest for best decorations. Everyone's kids would come that day and trick-or-treat throughout the company, which had been completely transformed into a haunted house.

That year, my department chose a "Pirates vs. Ninjas" theme and built a pirate ship out of our cubicles, complete with masts and sails and a huge prow made out of cardboard and blue-painted cardboard waves all along the bottom. The cubes along the wall were made into a dojo with rice-paper walls, a fabric roof, origami cranes hanging everywhere... it was really cool.

We won the contest, but the whole company lost the war when our CEO put the fog machine too close to a smoke detector and set it off. The Fire Marshall WAS NOT PLEASED. Everything had to come down immediately, and Halloween was never the same there again.

So, TLDR: Yes, vapor sets off smoke alarms. I wouldn't vape on a plane, but that's me.

The key to those you listed is loss of power, without loss of control. I'm sure when the alarm goes off, best case scenarios are not what is running through one's mind.

 

[iamzg]

Not worth it.

 

[twgbonehead]

You actually don't need patches or gum.

put a drop of e-liquid on your wrist and rub it in.

Or just put a drop under your tongue.

 

[Bunnykiller]

in situations as to where I cant vape, I lick a drop of juice every so often to get my nic fix... start with small drops till you find your limit... works for me

 

[denali_41]

I have done it a lot but not out in the open

higher nic juice helps to kill the cravings
turn the fresh air vent on to blow down just in front of you,and blow the vape down into the air stream,
vape something that has a common smell to it,,bananas ,cherrys,apples,vanila,,or anything gum type smelling juice


american airlines are more .... about vaping then are the foreign airlines
