I take a small eGo battery and a vision nano clearomiser for airports and such. On the plane I have been known to drip a few drops of liquid onto the back of my hand and rub it in. The craving went away, which might be a real nicotine effect or just a placebo effect.

Remember, batteries must either be in devices, or if not they must be in carry-on bags and in appropriate storage -- battery boxes or retail packaging, failing that individual zip-lock bags or something to prevent anything metallic contacting and shorting them.

Drip a couple mls into your drink
A couple of mls is far too much. You'd be in the toilet puking your guts up for the rest of the flight.

A few drops is closer to the mark. Consider one drop is a few puffs (say 1-3 depending on watts) and 10-15 puffs is a cigarette. Then err on the side of caution. Half a dozen drops is the most I would use in one dose... and I wouldn't recommend any use of nicotine liquid other than vaping it of course. Your risk is yours.

Stealth vaping in the lavatory of a plane can set off the smoke alarm.

Bad press is the last thing the e-cig community needs right now, so I wouldn't advise stealth vaping on a plane in any case. If the flight is long and you need your fix, try to make do with gum, patches, or other licit methods.

What kind of bad press are they getting? I thought overall e cigs were popular and viewed in a positive light since it helps people quit smoking
 
When I fly, I tend to use either a disposable blu/progressive or be very very careful. I've heard that in LAX they're going to start taking people's ecig's away since some ....... found a way to put ...... in them. I'd rather be out the $9.50 for a disposable than lose my $140 kit (not even including the cost of juice).

Ooh, a game! Let's see:

Did I get it right? :)

I always keep a small stash of patches for when I'm flying on long flights. From Chicago to, say, Buffalo NY ... it's an hour in air + 2 hours lead time, I'm okay with nothing. But when we're traveling to Washington State from Chicago, a four hour flight, + a 2 hour lead time ... yeah, I slap a patch on.

Personally? I'm the sort of person who panics at the thought of "stepping on anyones toes." I don't think I would feel comfortable doing something on an airplane I've been asked not to do. I know I don't know have to, but I adhere to the same "smoking laws" when it comes to vaping (okay, maybe not the 15 feet from a door stuff :)) But, the point is, I try to be as respectful as possible. Here in Chicago, personal vaping is a growing thing -- I'd go so far as to venture and say 98% of people have no idea what they're looking at when they see me doing it. To that end, I try not to draw too much attention. I'd rather answer polite, curious questions than be faced by an anti-everything firing squad any day.

I hope someday it will be a more inclusive experience and our sweet, sweet vape will be welcomed indoors.

My coworker was held in the airplane after the flight because his e-cig triggered the smoke alarm. Luckily the pilot/stewards didn't find a cigarette lighter in his possession so they let him walk.... The E-cig smoke is not completely free from second hand particulates. If they were then there would be absolutely no reason to ban them in flight or indoors.

I personally have managed to not vape for a couple of hours on the short flights, its the long 14 hr flights that absolutely drive me crazy. I have stealth vaped in the past but the airports are getting tighter on e-cig security. I definitely recommend putting the expensive stuff in your checked bag so your not out a hundred plus bucks..

I will have to order the toothpicks. They seem like a good alternative to the rules that are currently in place..
