I've never been around e-cigs, but I have been around folks using a marijuana vaporizer, and that one definitely smelled. Just not as badly as smoke.
Further, if the vapor emitted goes anywhere except directly into the smoker, it's still exposing those around to it, and in an airplane (because it's a very enclosed space with a lot of strangers and poor air replacement rates), that's still entirely inappropriate.
No offense taken. I have smoked mine around many non smokers and not once have they smelled anything. There is Nothing to smell. As I said, there will always be the non smokers or the reformers who need to find something wrong with smoking whether or not there is anything to cause them any harm.
I am trying to quit smoking. It's not easy since I have been smoking for many years. This is at least a chance for me not to inhale the many carcinagens that are in a cigarette while I am trying. No one else has to either. I have a feeling that no matter what, the non smokers will find fault with anything and anyone who has anything to do with it.
Vapor is not smoke. It is a steam basically. People emit vapor or steam (if you will) when standing in the cold whether. The same evaporation happens with an e-cig. That's all it is. You can do a search and find good and bad articles until the cows come home. I will just keep trudging along until the day I finally free myself from this smoking addiction. Let them eat cake!
