Netter what kind of e-cig did you bring on board? (should I assume you brought on a Volt? :) )

I know some people have posted in random threads, but I can't remember, so has anyone had any trouble bringing on board a:
Reo Grand
Darwin
Roughstack (or other similar metallic tube shaped PV)

Some of these devices look a tad suspicious and I wonder if I would have a hard time explaining that my box shaped Reo Grand despite looking nothing like a "cigarette" is indeed an electronic cigarette.

I suppose, but they are still legal devices. You could bring a .... after all... provided it was well cleaned.

Bah, who knows what sets off the security agents. But when it goes through the x-ray, it should be pretty clear it's a harmless device. If they get curious about what it is, ecig or PV should be irrelevant. It's clearly not a harmful device.

I have gone through with the volt and an eGo.

Just went and returned with one. I put it in my laptop case with the spare battery and a spare filled cart. Went through the xray machine and no questions at all. This is the third time I have travelled this way with my e-cigs. Everything else was in my luggage (recharger, juice bottle, spare carts).
Heck, I've even gone into the restroom, up in the secure area, 10mins prior to loading (I don't want to have to explain everything to everybody) and got my fill o'nicotine each time.

Edit: I had an eGo and Joy with me. You want a laugh - check out Westjets FAQ's on vapourizers....That's no e-cig in that picture....lol

If they'll let someone board the plane with something like that, I'm not too worried about bringing my Reo anymore..

Portable Vaporizer
The Vapir NO2 Vaporizer is a new portable vaporizer from Air-2, Vapir. It uses a rechargeable battery pack that fits inside the vaporizer. It can only be carried on board by the passenger, not in luggage. The battery in the unit must be removed and placed in a plastic bag or non-metal container.

I brought my REO Grand, mtl-miami and back. They asked me what it is, I said it's my inhaler and took a very short toot for minimal vapor. Used it on the plane semi openly. They may be wiser now, but you're definitely allowed to carry it on with you, if not use it.

That's one of the cool things about a reo, can pass for a medical device. I just act like I'm not doin anything wrong, people just tend to avert their eyes like I'm handicapped or something lol
