Travel and Vaping Vaping in the lounge right now

[Valsacar]

So, headed back to the states on an emergency trip (grandfather probably won't make it through the weekend). Sitting in the lounge at Incheon Airport (best airport ever btw) and vaping away, not even a look.

I did have one issue going through security, they saw my ego battery when they were looking through my laptop bag (apparently I had a pair of scissors in there... and to think I've been through 5 countries since I last emptied that front pocket...). Little girl was confused when I said it was a battery (I took everything apart, and put my MAP tanks in the liquids bag), she walked away and asked someone, came back and said no problem... but the ProVari no one even looked at twice... go figure.

Flying on Delta, we'll see how this goes. I'll let you all know when I land how vaping on the plane worked for me. Haven't had any problems in the past, but things are never the same twice.

First leg complete, Korean Air said nothing about them. Mainly stealthed the whole 18 hour trip (had a 3 hour delay), only once was asked "are you smoking?" when I went to ask an attendant for a napkin. I just repeated my request and that was it. Since I missed my connection it'll be a while before I get to the next stop to see how it goes.

Had no problems going through security, just took everything apart and put the MAP tanks in the liquids bag.

So sorry about your grandfather. Hope the rest of your travels go smoothly.

Safe travels indeed! Thanks for sharing and warm thoughts and pryers for you whole family.

Thanks guys. Had no issues the last leg of the trip down here, but of course wasn't blatantly obvious about it either. Will be headed back to Korea in a couple days, so we'll see how the return trip is.

hi,
I enjoy vaping in my backyard, looking at the sunset... and just relaxing..

Ride back was just as easy. No issues leaving Orlando (MCO), though I did get some extra checking of my laptop bag (where I store my broken down PVs before security). They actually specifically took out my ProVari and swabbed it separate from anything else. After that they put it through the scanner again (whole bag) and said have a nice day. I was polite, answered any questions asked, and didn't answer anything not asked.

Flight (Delta) from MCO to Detroit (DTW) I was in the back row (window) and vaped comfortably, not even trying to really hide it (just blowing down or at the window).

DTW I was in shortly, had a couple puffs, again nothing.

Flight from DTW back to Incheon (ICN, Korea) was in an exit row. Vaped again without problem, though not being obvious about it (not exactly stealth, but definitely not flying my freak flag high).

Overall, nothing really to report. I was comfortable, didn't bother other people, and didn't try to "show off." I was noticed by a few passengers on the flight from ICN to ATL, but they were just curious. One thing to note, on none of the flights did they specifically mention electronic cigarettes (or any variation thereof).

Work just told me I might need to leave this weekend for Germany, so if I do I'll let you all know how that goes.

Hello,

Even i like vaping. I always go to the lounge for vaping and enjoy it for long time. It helps me to forget about my problems and then i can be able to headed in new direction. I also hope your rest of journey will be great.
I am aware that there are vaping lounges, but they are kept so secret its impossible to find them. Only a certain amount of people no were the vaping lounges are located, ( i am in the Toronto area).

Thanks

Just got into Germany last night, flew on Lufthansa, was fairly open about vaping and had no problems. Just blew down instead of into the aisle. Took the train from Frankfurt to Heidelberg, again no problems, and then train from Heidelberg to Berlin (where I am now). Only issue I have is... I'm not used to not having free internet access everywhere... grumble.

 

[lerrygibson]

Great to know that you enjoyed vaping and hope that your journey is good!! Free internet access sometime is a problem at the times when one need to look for all the business solutions. I have gone through this problem several times.

Just got back in last night, no problems flying back. They did pull it out and look at it, said it looked strange, but didn't even ask what it was and just put it back in my bag.

I used it in a bar in Amsterdam (one that didn't allow smoking in doors) they asked, I showed them, they said that's cool since I could use it inside.
