Finally found it in writing for traveling to AUS

Hey.. just thought I'd post this link. Finally found something on Australian Website regarding eCigs.
Hope this helps...

Civil Aviation Safety Authority - eCigarettes and electronic cigarettes

So in short...

CASA - State that an ecig is a portable electronic device.

and....every airline has their own rules on the use of portable electronic devices. Well at least you now know its not illegal to use onboard. It may be against the Airline's rules but not against the law. Just don't vape when the seatbelt sign is on

Cool Rottwyler, thanks for posting that link. It's good to know that they can be carried on board, even if the airlines can rule against their use on board.
That will certainly help me relax more on my next flights - in fact I shall print that off and take it with me in case I meet any problems with security

My advice is not to use it unless you first get permission from the cabin crew. People have been arrested for vaping on airplanes.

Others have vaped discreetly in the bathroom.

I agree with that advice Nicko. I just don't think it's polite to vape in confined spaces, especially as the smell of some flavours can upset people.
Etiquette is common courtesy.
