Certain international air carriers have already banned the use of electronic cigarettes onboard. USA Domestic carrier American Airlines has also put rules in place but now the TSA (Transportation Safety Administration) is looking to ban ecigs on an airplane due to it being a fire hazard.

  • I cannot agree more with the post below. It's all about us being able to carry them in our luggage not to use them in front of everyone in the cabin. Be smart like Zraden says INCONSPICUOUSLY

  • We are fighting an uphill battle with e-cigs. Big tobacco has lobbyists pushing hard against them as they are eating their profits. And government is pushing hard against them as they are losing tax revenue.

    As far as being a fire hazard, it is possible. But it's more on the home mod side when people use unprotected batteries. I have heard a few stories of them malfunctioning and exploding, no fires but explosions non then less.

  • @Xenite227 I agree, the ability for a battery to explode is possible but any ION battery can do this including Iphone and computer batteries. I just do not get it. A lighter is allowed onboard and in my opnion is the ultimate ignition device.

  • Another great video, Sean. I recommend vaping low-pro in those kind of places. One a plane, hold in the vapor to ghost it; then a slow exhale into my blanket. You CAN set off a smoke alarm with vapor, I've done it at home. Took 4 vapers puffing hard to do it though.

  • @NicFitNation This is a really good comment, please vote it up so others see it and it does not get lost in the comments.

  • I haven't tested my ecig in the airport, yet, but I have used it in a Denny's restaurant. Many Denny's in my area allow them simply because they are NOT cigarettes. Thank you, Denny's!

  • Ive nevered had issues with TSA with my Ecig

  • 3+ years ago, I stopped smoking because I replaced that habit with e-cigs. I still have the e-cig habbit/hobby, enjoy it, and don't have any desire to stop it. It's calming and prevents me from snacking on stuff that is probably much more harmful than an e-cig with a little nicotine, flavoring, and PG. My employer recently enforced a smoking ban for the entire premises, including anywhere outside, including in our cars, in the parking lot. I am getting better at stealth vaping. But, Grrrrr.

  • Anyone in the UK or native airline travellers: Monarch have banned e-cigs on their flights & heard that Birmingham Airport hold negitive views on e-cigs. However haven't come across any other airlines or airports with a negitive attitude & Ryanair even sell e-cigs on board their flights.

  • Pretty soon the tsa will ban taking a piss..I'm sick of this crap and tyranny of control in this country ..I love my e cigarette collection..take a train they allow them on some of them

  • Yes, what you say is true. I have used a lot of different electronic cigarettes. I had a lot of problems with cheaper models the automatic e cigs. i had one in my shirt pocket and it was almost red hot ! It was not shutting off as it ought to. Another one was left on my coffee table I went to pick it up and it too was red hot the automiser was still "alive" and had not shut itself off. I use much more expensive models now....but saying that, I did have one similar problem !

  • I agree I think it should be banned on places such as planes and hospitals because it's Not just Because of second hand smoke it's many variables and not only that's but other people may think your smokeing so.

    (P.S I'm not 18)

  • legend. keep up the good work man. ther nothing worse than being on a long hale flight and not being able to have a cig

  • Hey Sean. Having a great time watching your vids. Not sure if you take requests, but Any chance you could compare any of the newer volcano kits to the blucigs brand? Do you have a preference between these 2 brands?

  • Great video, very informative, but i have one question. You didn't specify what the TSA ban would do. Will it ban the use of E-Cigs on planes, will it ban E-Cigs from being in your carry-on luggage, or will it completely ban them from all luggage (checked and carry-on). If anyone could answer that would be great, I'm about to take a trip and I don't want to end up having to ship it back to myself. Thanks.
