I use a small Halo Triton 450 mAh with a carto at airports. I just find a quiet seat at a gate which doesn't have a departing flight scheduled or use it as I walk and don't exhale until there is little to no vapor. There are also restrooms- no body cares what goes on in there and smoking lounges- which I really wouldn't recommend.

The following is a list of the American airports that currently ban e-cigarettes, and require all users to smoke them, along with traditional tobacco cigarettes, in areas designated for smoking:

• Boston Logan International Airport • Chicago Midway International Airport • Chicago O’Hare International Airport • Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport • Denver International Airport • Detroit Metropolitan Airport • George Bush Intercontinental Airport • Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport • Los Angeles International Airport • Orlando International Airport • Philadelphia International Airport • San Francisco International Airport • Seattle-Tacoma International Airport

And the following is a list of the airports that do allow e-cigarettes to be used in their terminals:

• Charlotte Douglas International Airport • Dulles International Airport • McCarran International Airport (Las Vegas) • Miami International Airport • Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport • Ronald Reagan Washington International Airport • Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport • Tampa International Airport

As you may have noticed, none of the airports that serve the New York City area have been included on either list. They are, in any case, banned from use in any NYC airport terminal, and just to further this notion, with the Clean Air Act recently signed, using electronic cigarettes indoors in any public building in New York city is not allowed.

I'd agree that discretion can be part of the process, especially on a long layover. Just remember some box mods look like a detonator!!!! :ohmy:

My Provari always ends up display up while going through x-ray and even I think it looks just like some detonator (yea, I like to look at the screen while my stuff is going through.) Never fails to get attention. If someday you hear an x-ray operator whispering "hmmpf, Provari" you can thank me.

I don't have any box mods. I do transport all of my essential equipment in Pelican boxes and put them in my carry on. At security I put them in the bins for the x-ray and tell the TSA agent I have e-cig gear.

Heathrow has a vape lounge. Admittedly, it's a vape store where you can vape while you "shop", but never the less....

That sounds pretty sweet. I usually route through Schiphol, which, unfortunately, has the enclosed death chambers where smoking is allowed. I generally just vape at an empty gate and no one notices...

Yup - it's handy. Those fishbowls in Schiphol are nasty - never even liked them when I smoked.

I stealth in vacant corners, myself. It helps to drink a hot beverage while doing it - what little vapor escapes from a ghosted vape just looks like vapor from the drink when you hold it to your mouth. Also, if you can stomach it, high PG menthol produces the least vapor and leaves no scent evidence (as opposed to, say, pluid, which fogs big and... lingers, shall we say).

Never had an issue in over 20 different airports in 7 or 8 countries.
