Vapes on a Plane

[Room112]

I know. The title was a poor attempt at humor.

I was wondering if anyone here has tried bringing their PV in their carry-on luggage. I'm flying to Orlando next week and I'm not checking any bags in. Will TSA give me a hard time when they see my 1000 mAh Joye batts? I guess the other option is to pack my Bloogs and a bunch of cartos.

Anyone have any experience with this?

Thanks in advance!

i brought an "arsenal" of ego batteries in my carry on luggage to and from las vegas. no worrys, just put your liquids in those baggy things and don't try to hide anything. even vaped on the plane and in the terminal.

From what I read in a few other threads about travelling with e-cigs, most TSA agents know all about e-cigs so the eGo shouldn't be a problem.

 

[eguy]

carried my ego in my pocket with liquid on a flight a few weeks ago and had no issues at all

You can carry everything on but most airlines have updated their no smoking policy to include e-cigs.
Check with the airline you are using online.

I have to fly to Austin in 3 weeks. I'm gonna try. I'll pack all my juice in my check bag, but I'm hoping the provari and a carto will make it through carry on so I can have it during layover. I'll give TSA a call local and check.

The only place I would vape would be in the washroom. Blow the smoke into the sink while pushing the drain button (the drain system is suction-driven so it will suck the smoke away).

Bro just double inhale, u really don't have to go to that much trouble if your worried bout it. Nobody is going to give you grief for "chewing on a pen" in flight XD .

I flew domestically recently with air Canada, and the security lady asked what was in my little vape pouch lol. I nervously said my e cig stuff, not knowing what the reaction would be, and to my surprise, she went off about how her sister could use one lol! You'll be fine!

Yeah... if there's no visible vapor, I can't see them bugging you about it.

I'd still probably save it for the bathroom, double inhale, hold it, and blow down the sink. Hahaha... They can arrest you for farting on a plane these days.

Just get some nicorette for the flight. I wouldn't want to be fined or treated the same as smoking on a plane. So unless you know or ask first, I wouldn't risk it.

But you can definitely bring your juice in one of the plastic bags they give you for liquid and your battery won't give you any problems just put it in your carry on and you'll be fine.

What's the worst that can happen anyway? A cavity search.. . haha

I work in aviation, there completely legal to bring through security. Airlines policies forbid the use of them on the airplane, including the lavatories (bathrooms). If caught "smoking"(even vaping e-cigs) you could face penalties of fines or being added to a no fly list. So imagine flying from vancouver to lets say halifax and then having to drive back!

I am an aviation maintenance tech for a major carrier 22 years and counting.Sure don't want to set off the smoke alarm in the lavatory!Big fine and bad image for vaping.Good luck to you.

The only suction in the lavatory is in a 767 and 777 Boeing.We have MD80's 737,757,767,777 in the fleet and I know of no suction other wise.Maybe in other equipment that we don't fly ? I have been known to be wrong but pretty sure about this one.Having cleared 100's of sink clogs.

After thinking about it the sink and galley drain depart the aircraft through a drain mast on the exterior of the aircraft.While in flight the air rushing by these do create a venturi effect and one could say they provide a small amount of suction.But better safe then sorry.Most defiantly no suction while not in flight.

 

[akira712]

Most all sinks are drained to the outside in aviation, I know as i have had hot water drained on me during walk arounds, also its why drain masts are heated so water doesn't freeze up as it leaves the jet at altitude or during winter ops.

Especially if it's silent but deadly

That's great news. I'm so "stoked". I thought the TSA would be a pack of "wolves" when they saw my PV and "hammer" me about it.

That's *exactly* what I'm doing! Well, it's more like flying to Orlando and driving a new car back! But definitely NO vaping on the plane for me. I don't want to be this guy.
