I am worried about getting my new $60 VCT taken away from me while getting through security at the airport. Does anybody have any experience taking E-Cigs on ariplanes?
Can you take these things on airplanes?

Remove the battery , and put in your laptop bag (if you have one ) or just put it with cellphone, wallet , purse . Most , if not alll TSA has seen e-cigs . They know what they are . You really shouldn't have a problem . If they ask , just tell them , or show them .
Lots of people fly with them without any issues at all. We just got back from France, and had no problems flying in either direction. BUT we did fly directly from Montreal, so no TSA to worry about.
I just put all of my vaping gear in my carry on, and no one batted an eye, and I carried a ton of stuff with me- REO's, Ego's, a Roughstack, and a couple of disposables- along with batteries, chargers, and juice (just in case).

It will be nice when the world accepts and realizes that ecigs are safe alternatives to smoking, and do no harm to others, then maybe vaping will become the norm, and vaping on an airplane will be commonplace.
If someone tells you that you cannot vape, just remember:
Vaping discretely or in the restroom > throwing peanuts at the flight attendant.

I've flown numerous times in the US with my GLVs which look rather ominous to the uninformed (and even some vapers) and even though I have a MedPort insulin bag filled with cartos, carts, batteries, and two extra "empty" GLVs I've only been interrogated and shortly delayed by TSA once and that was at LAS with "heightened security" levels after Bin Laden was killed but before it was made public.
Believe it or not, I've found that the more conspicuous you are with a PV, the fewer questions are raised. I put all my e-liquids in the 7 oz. Zip-lock baggie and put my "live" GLV in the bin with my cell phone, laptop, and such.
An agent will often ask what it is and when I tell them it's a personal nicotine vaporizer or high-end e-cig they don't bat an eye.
Good luck and have a safe flight!

Go read the Travel and the Ecig section of ECF
It includes some lists of airports that understand what ecigs are etc, how to stay within the rules for liquid container sizes, how you should show them your stuff

You should have no problems as the others have stated . If you are travelling with juice Make sure it is in the approved zip lock bag with any other liquids.
Would not personally take my Copper when travelling in case some neanderthal decided to classify it as an offensive weapon - and their decisions can sometimes be completely arbitrary - so would take something a little more discrete.
Don't know whether you can find one on this forum but I've seen downloadable PDFs on a UK forum that explain the legal position in that country as far as vaping is concerned. Might be handy to have something like that with you in case of trouble.
Otherwise, Ryanair over here even sell their disposable cigalike on board the aircraft and vaping is therefore allowed, so if you fly them, just get yourself into the last 3 rows and vape all the way remembering those good old days... ;-)

I take the batteries out of the backup mods and send the GLV I'm using through with my cell and keys. No problems so far. One agent asked what it was. I told her and that was it. Good info in the travel forum. Learned a lot 
I will never fly again until the grope downs stop and TSA is no more. ....Travel in dignity , Don't fly. just my humble 2 cents.
Trust me if everyone or a majority quit flying until TSA was removed the airlines would lose so much money they would cave in to the public! More people die each year of bee stings then a so called terrorist attack. ...sorry to get all political...I just don't like TSA
