Travel and Vaping Vapes On A Plane

Lucky you were not pulled off that flight. Glad you still got some pokes in on the flight. I was a little worried about traveling with my stuff on planes and here you were vaping on one. LOL

It would be potentially damaging to our desire for acceptance by flaunting the law. We do not want this. This is the same principle as ECF rules barring certain conversations. The vaping community is best served by demonstrating our respect for established rule and using rational protest and discussion to gain acceptance.

I respect rules and obey them at all times.

It just needs to be noted that its not entirely illegal to vape on certain airplanes.

There a large section in the FAR/AIM regarding this topic.

IMO vaping in the seats is asking for trouble on commercial airlines. The restroom on the other hand is probably safe.

I would advise to avoid vaping on a commercial flight period.

What if the alarm goes off in the restroom? Yes they can go off from vapor. No there are not leprechauns behind the mirror either.

How was it going through security?

TSA security is aware of ecigs. Juice in the zip lock and all is well. At most you may get a question or two. It's never added more than 30 seconds to my trip through the line.

Is it possible to get the juice that has little vapor in the bathroom on a plane?

Not that I would do it, just seems that if the lady or gentleman next to me that just ate a hogie full of onions and garlic, and should have bought 2 seats should be taken off the plane before my vaping on a plane LOL.

Strange world we live in.

If you really need your nic fix, just rub a drop of e liquid on your skin somewhere... I use the under side of my forearm.

To avoid any hassles I just get a box of nicotine gum for flights. Tastes nasty, but it gets me there without going psycho. Works for jury duty too..

I vaped in the bathroom on our flight back from Puerto Vallarta yesterday, no problem. The bathroom smelled so bad that I figured I was doing people a favor by leaving a little strawberries and cream scent! It is definitely true that too much water vapor can set off a smoke detector (they sense particulate matter in the air, not just smoke), but if you double inhale and then exhale through your shirt or something, there will not be anywhere near enough vapor in the air to set one off. I wouldn't exhale directly at the smoke detector, though!
