My boyfriend and I work at the airport and we vape like mad while waiting for our flights to arrive or depart. Then again, the airport cops don't really hang out on the cargo side of the airport. We vape in the plane while waiting for freight too and the customer hasn't said anything ... haven't tried getting past the security check point yet or vaping on a passenger flight ..

I wish I had had it when we flew to Hawaii 2 years ago! I assumed that there were places you could smoke in the airport like an outdoor patio or SOMETHING since you can't smoke on planes anymore and have to check in like 2 hours early! There was no place to smoke once you checked in! Then the 5 hour flight to Honolulu airport where you can't smoke while waiting an hour and a half for a 20 minute flight to Kauai! 8-o

I have never been so happy to get out of a building - screw the luggage! If I had had to wait another 5 minutes I swear I would have been snorting my cigs, or soaking them in my booze for tobacco shots!

I had my first experience traveling with the e-cig this weekend (EWR-LAX). At first I was undecided about keeping the unit in my purse or putting out in the bin and finally opted to keep it in the purse. My juice went in the ziploc with the toiletries. No questions, no problems at either airport. Didn't vape on the plane, but I did vape inside both airports though I admit, very discreetly..I'm still very new at this and haven't gotten that daring yet!

Vapes on a Plane...
Traveling next week for the first time as a NON SMOKER!!!
It's a cross country (US) flight.
I'm packing heavy vaping supplies both in carry on and checked. I don't want any surprises/issues when I reach my destination. I can wear a patch on the plane...no problem been there and blah blah blah.
I'm at a scary point of a month off analogs...JONESING RIGHT NOW...and I am trying to make sure that when I reach my destination...I've got my VK stuff.
As a smoker, when lighters were banned on aircraft, I smuggled a BIC in my underwear...how crazy is that???

LOL! my thoughts exactly. A pack-a-day smoker on a 22hr flight. Going on vacation, the travel time drives me NUTS!!! The only thing keeping me sane is looking at those HOT Korean Flight Attendants...


That's what was killing me, at least half the flight I was flying Korean Air, and rocking first class. I've got beautiful asian women fawning over my, well, most every desire. I was ok, I had 2 patches on me, plenty of nicotine gum and everything seemed to being going well.

One of the beautiful attendants asked me if I'd like a beverage. Well, I'm not one to pass up a free drink, especially when alcohol is involved. I ordered a ginger and rum, (yeah I suck at mixed drinks, I'm a shot guy) she obliged. The first 3 swallows, rationilty and I stopped speaking. I needed an ... cigarette. A tsunami of desire overcame me. I stuck three more pieces of nic gum in my mouth and started chewing like a rabid cow. It wasn't close to enough, suddenly the person in my row who was softly snoring in his cubicle sounded like he was begging me for his brutal enforced silence.

I had a pack of smokes in my pocket begging for release. The thought of spending two weeks in a Japanese jail didn't appeal to me. If you've never looked at a cigarette and thought to yourself, I could eat this, and surely it'll work, you're not addicted, or you've lived a charmed life. It was that bad. I finally landed in Osaka, had brought four cartons of cigarettes with me, just to find out they're cheaper there. Who cares, I was back in smoking bliss.

I went to dallas from atlanta last weekend.
When my bag went through x-ray screening machine, TSA agent called someone to verify if it is some sort of bomb.
They asked me what it is, and I had to explain to them what ecig is.
TSA jerk didn't believe me, and called for manager.
Manager knew about ecig and let me go.
Fine, nothing happened, but I had to waste 30 mins to go through security.
From dalls to atl, I had no problem at all.
So, I guess it depends on who screen your bag.

Oh, at the airport and in plane, I vaped hell out of it in restroom.
