Stealth Vaping is the key! And that is even in your seat on he plane, if you don't ask no-one can tell you no.

As long as no one inform you that you are not allowed to do that you are not doing anything forbidden.
There are no laws or regulations about it in general, so if nothing is stated...
I try to think that I am doing nothing wrong and therefor should not feel guilty about it.
I vape everywhere, but not in peoples face. So far not one have told me I cant do it.

Recently I took a flight to our capital and back.
I vaped att two airports and two flights, while in Stockholm, our capital, I attended a major art exhibition
there I also vaped. Not one person told me not to vape. there was hardly any that even looked at me.
I believe it is completly ok, I just dont do it to close to people.

In the last year I've flown from Gatwick/Heathrow to (and back from) Innsbruck, Florence, Majorca, Edinburgh, Los Angeles and Turin and have vaped on every flight. I've never asked anyone if I was allowed, just did it discretely (in my seat and in the loo). Never had a problem!

I wasI  in Germany over Christmas. My son got me a tornado. I vaped in the airport on my way back and a cop with a sniff dog came by but did not say anything. The dog was not sniffing for Mr.Wicked. I vaped in the plane but exlained to my neighbors what I was doing. Nobody had any complaints on my flight from Frankfurt to Chikago and from there to Los Angeles. Smiley

Welcome to the forum, Nickaird  Smiley
there are a few threads about vaping on planes and in airports...it will be very helpful to others if you post your experiences (good or bad) when you have time...

3 guesses as to how I found that one... Wink
IMHO stealth vaping will be safest so as not to antagonise the folks who can't tell the difference... one day we'll all look back and laugh...... Cheesy

I thought everybody knew that with contraversal things like eliquid. "Carry one if you need, pack the rest deep inside luggage." They don't take it near as easy

This could be a good place to re-post a quote from the well-travelled Prof. Beard:


I have travelled to and from the following airports:

Manchester
Birmingham
Schipol
Charles de Gaulle
Frankfurt
Pisa
Genoa
Alicante
Montreal
Newark
JFK
Chicago
Atlanta
Houston
Long Beach
San Francisco
LA
Phoenix
Austin
Philadelphia

and probably some others Ive forgotten

Never had any problems.  I keep everything in carry-on, juices in the "liquids bag".  You must NOT - repeat NOT - put spare lithium batteries in your checked baggage (its best not to put anything containing a lithium battery in checked baggage but "loose" lithium batteries are a big no no in checked baggage)

You need to give some thought as to where you carry your vape supplies when travelling.... but openly vaping on the plane is an invitation to a disagreement with cabin staff imho as other passengers see vapour and assume it's smoke.
Nothing wrong with discretion.
Just saying.  Smiley
