Bringing a vape on a connection through SIN
I'm really struggling to find information about this. If you have a simple connection through SIN (land from one country, stay in the lounge, depart to another country), can you have a nicotine vape on your person (it would obviously not be used in the airport)?

I know you can't enter the country with one. I know you can't use one. But even SQ's website seems to suggest they're okay in carry-on. And that would be odd for them to say if their one hub didn't allow them in transit.

Given that a dude was actively vaping in the J cabin on our recent SQ flight SIN-DPS, I'd say you're probably okay.

The FAs caught him in the act repeatedly and nonetheless let him walk off the aircraft without a LE greeting.

Vaping is uncommonly common in Singapore itself. I doubt you would run into any issues in transit.

I wonder why SG sees Vaping illegal where most countries allow it big time.

The above can also be rephrased - 'I wonder why SG hangs people for weed, where most countries allow it big time.'

Because they can.

It is not banned in Thailand. Only importation is banned under the customs law. Possessing and using is not banned in Thailand.
