Of course you can also apply common courtesy and inform your seatmates that you would really like to use your e-cig, if it would be okay with them.
That just seems like a awful lot of work and hassle to go through when you could just go into the lav. Since the only by product is water vapor with no smell, it obviously wouldn't set off the smoke detector nor would it smell like a cig to the next person. It just seems like a much easier option than trying to explain it to everyone around you including the FAs. Just my two cents from another smoker.
