Tips found on another forum for Vape on the Plane

[Rockn]

Found these opinions on another forum posted from an experienced traveller "swanvesta" - what do you think?

Order a hot drink (ie coffee) whenever offered so you can blow vapour into it as you drink which everyone thinks is steam(which it is of course )(that hot tip from Concs x)

Never ever ask for permission

If questioned, dont use cig, smoke or electronic in your answer try something like, “its a Nicotine Inhaler, ya know like Nicorette but its got a battery, the Doctor put me on it to give up smoking”

Or just go in to the lavatory and vape.

But blow down the sink...

I always go into the lav - I've never had any problems with that...all of the major carriers do have e-cigs listed on the page in their magazine with what and when you can use certain items - e-cigs are listed under "never"...

I used my KR808 clone with cartomizer in the lavatory on a Delta flight. I took six strong draws. The smoke detector did not go off. Then, emboldened by the questional legal/regulation status of the PV, I took a few discreet vapes while seated. My seatmate was intrigued and asked about what I was doing. I called it an electronic cigarette and quickly explained that what he saw coming out in my exhalation was vapor, not smoke, and that it in no way put him in danger. He said the vapor smelled nice (cappucino). I think this is part of the strategy: I know lots of folks here dislike any flavor in their e-cig other than tobacco, but that aroma can set off alarm bells, so to speak. If it smells like coffee or fruit punch, people will think you're exhaling the aroma from a beverage, not tobacco smoke. One less thing for the Antis to worry about. And to the previous poster: Did you _really_ check out regulations for _all_ the airlines? To my knowledge, Delta hasn't made a decison about these one way or the other; the flight attendant who I asked about vaping stated that there is no prohibition, but she also asked me not to vape openly, as it might upset other passengers. When I vaped at my seat, I used the steaming coffee strategy above and hid the LED. Also, I limited my use of the PV to a few short, discreet puffs. I think our strategy as vapers should be to always, always, always discreet. I know there are militants among us who would disagree.

Seriously?!? I'm platinum with Delta and Continental - I do a bit of flying...anyway...here's an image from the Delta magazine

This is from the American site:

Smoking

As a result of Federal legislation effective July 1, 1997, all American Airlines and American Eagle flights are nonsmoking. In addition, the activation of electronic “e-cigarettes” is not allowed nor is smoking permitted on any of the flights operated by American’s codeshare partners, including those who belong to the global oneworld Alliance. However, SNCF French Rail in Europe still allows smoking, and American codeshares on many of SNCF’s rail routes to and from Paris.

Let's see, how about Southwest?!? Oh...that'd be here in their magazine...


Should I continue, or do you get the point?!?

Just because you haven't done your homework, doesn't mean others haven't...
