Newbie here. You can buy the cartridges without any nicotene also. I vape level one and sometimes coffee flavor. I have vaped in the doctors exam room and never had a comment. Vaped in the lav on my last flight, in the lav next to the galley in business class and no comment when I came out the door.

For anyone who uses eCigs, whats a good brand and or site to find them?

US, the vapor guys-they have a phone number for the site-or per their recommendation and I have ordered-Janty.com. Good customer service.

I use the Green Smoke E-cig. I really like it because unlike the ones that come in three pieces, mine doesn't leak. Mine is two pieces as you can see from their website. You can also choose your level of nicotine, which I like. I am actually ready to downgrade my level of nicotine. Check out their site or do a search for others, but I recommend you purchase a two piece unit versus the three piece.

Ryanair sell these on board:-

First time I saw it, it felt like I'd been taken back 20 years. These don't emit anything at all, though.

I had a bad experience with www.smoke51.com, so would not suggest buying your e-cig from them. They advertised, and I ordered, a $9.99 "starter kit," (no longer advertised) and then billed me $89.95 and started automatic monthly shipments of $29.95. It took a dispute through American Express to get them to stop.

Just today Shenzhen airport pulled my purse for inspection and found the dreaded E-cigs. They thought it was a pen? After they let the items go through there was an announcement on China Eatern that no E-cigs were allowed to be used on the flight. This announcement was not made from Shanghai to Shenzhen. Hmmm. However I did not and would not smoke E-cigs on an airliner in China in public areas, too cautious.

Interesting idea, they can get more revenues as well, I wonder if it would expand to other airlines. It would definately be a good sell for airlines in Japan (JL,NH) and China (CA,CZ,MU) where majority of Japanese and Chinese are heavy smokers.

I know JL and NH used to provide nicotine patches of some sorts on their long haul flights, not sure if they still do now.

Anti-smokers will always say something as long as one is putting something look like a cigarette in the mouth, then exhale something like smoke. I can bet those who said they smell like ciagrette smoke are those anti-smokers.

I also agree when they said they made different flavors the reason is to target kids, whereas when kids start smoking are usually Newport and Marlboro reds. Those like different flavors are adult smokers. I still miss those Camel's flavor cigarette in a metal tin box. Those were selling more expensive and kids doesn't have money wouldn't pay more for that in the beginning.

Looks like the state of CA is suing e-cig manufacturers:

Haven't flown Ryan Air in several years - anyone tried their brand of ecigs? I assume if they sell them, they'd allow you to smoke your own? Hmm. Probably be reason for me to choose RyanAir over EasyJet, although can't say I love either one.

I've tried several brands - a few are really great, a lot are truly awful.

Maybe you can get some nicotine gum or a nicotine patch so you can get your nicotine fix while in the air. Would that help, or do you need to visual smokelike thing and the lung delivery system?

I wish you luck in kicking your nicotine addiction completely. I wish I had taken photos of my 42 year old sister in ICU on a respirator and in a coma, after having a massive stroke. She has smoked for 27 years. She was slim, did not have high cholesterol, and did not have high blood pressure. Smoking was her only stroke risk factor, but apparently it was enough. She lingered in that condition for 2 weeks before dying.

Very sorry to hear that, Laylia.

Smoking and nicotine aren't exactly the same, although I don't think anyone knows the risks of nicotine alone. I actually prefer electronic cigarettes to regular ones - and I don't smell of smoke all the time (which my wife appreciates). Personally, I dont think nicotine is the worst thing in cigarettes - same way I don't think caffeine is the worst thing in a diet coke. Just my opinion, though - never liked the taste of nicorette, etc.

That said, I'd probably be better off cutting out nicotine AND caffeine completely, but for the moment I've just switched to twinings teas and lexfield and njoy ecigs. Not perfect, but hopefully better than diet cokes and marlboro lights.
