Electronic cigarettes and airplanes

[RoadKillCrayon]

Has anyone had any experience with being allowed to (Or NOT being allowed to) bring E-Cigs on flights inside the U.S.? Does the rules vary from airline to airline? I have Googled it and have gotten mixed answers. Any help on recent experience would be appreciated as I am flying in March and certainly do not want them to take any of my stuff.

Thank you

Delta expressly forbids e-cigarets without giving any reason or explanation.

you can definitely bring your e-cigs through.

it depends on the airport if you'll have any difficulty though; i have brought my entire vaping kit (lots of batteries, mods, cartos & liquid) through ~30 airports in the US and europe in the last few months (i'm a touring musician, lots of travel), and no one has ever taken anything, but at several airport security officers have stopped me and inspected everything. make sure your juice bottles are under 150ml and you should be fine, you just might have to demo and explain yourself.

i LOVE vaping in the airport or sneaking a drag on the plane itself during long flight, but i recommend discretion in both cases. its technically not illegal, but definitely confuses flight attendants

You should have no trouble with airport security, but I would not openly vape inside the airport or airplane. I've snuck some draws in aircraft bathrooms before, but make sure you stealth it. Thick vapor will set off the smoke detector if you blow directly into it. Try it with your home smoke detector.

I have vaped at LAX airport & no one seems to care. American Airlines has rules against vaping on a plane but I stealth vape on it all the time, just be discreet. I also openly vaped at SLC airport, everything was fine there too. Stealth vaped on Delta also. Planning a trip to Italy & I don't know if it's legal or not going thru customs with it. I'm hoping to find out before I go.

Thank you for the replies. I do not intend to vape anywhere ON the plane.........just occasionally in the airport bathroom while waiting for the next flight.
