Vape in an airliner?

Yes, you can set off the alarms - any vapor - water or otherwise - can set them off. They're extremely sensitive. That said, it can be done if you're extremely careful and blow the smoke down the toilet! But you'll have to decide if the risk of being caught and hauled away is worth it
Some gum or a patch is a good idea. That said, I can't find any FAA laws outlawing vaping, but left up to the individual companies which most all say no. Ryanair sells e-cigs to use onboard. was just wondering if it would set off alarms. Sounds like the answer is, it could

Smoke alarms don't detect smoke, they detect disruption in their sensors which vapor can set off. That said, though I'm kind of pissed at White Cloud for gipping me on some cigalikes, they do make a product that is vaporless. You might look into it for the future.
Probably not enough vapor from throwaway ecigs to set off any alarms. But it would still be a risk on an airline that didn't allow vaping (and the US airlines don't as far as I know - don't know about others).
i just dab a little e juice on my tounge every so often during flight, to get my nic fix. not worth getting put in bracelets imo lol

Are you serious? Any time I've gotten any e-juice in my mouth it made me want to vomit.

Depends on your rig. A clearo, or any pressure /vacuum dependant topper, will Leak. That said you can vape hold it in a bit longer and I've done it in the bathroom and in seat. Cabin pressure just made it a bit messy

If you are going to try it at all (and I really don't recommend it as they don't think it is at all funny if you get caught) get yourself a cig-alike and fill the carto's with some 100% PG E-Liquid. Then hold it in and exhale toward the floor.
Most sensors have a light emitter and a receiver in the guts of the device. Think of the spy movies where they are breaking into someplace and they spray something in the air to make all the light beams visible.
Kind of the same thing. If the receiver thinks it is not "seeing enough light" due to smoke or vaper getting between the emitter and receiver and interfering with the light level, it activates and you are screwed.

Just equalize the pressure from time to time during the climb and you won't get any leakage. Usually, with most bottom coil clearos, holding them upside down for a few minutes is enough. If not, unscrewing the base of the clearo slightly (while holding it upside down, obviously) does the trick. With the Egrip I use, simply pop the hatch open and close it again to equalize the pressure.
On the way down, you don't have to do anything at all.

I used my BluCig during our flight to the Virgin Islands over the summer. I did it in the bathroom though. They don't create much vapor and I just held it in until hardly anything came out. Takes a lot of balls to do it in your seat especially when its not allowed on nearly all US flights. All it takes is one person to tell the stewardess and there you are getting arrested.
Totally serious man.
I DO vape like 15-20 ml a day though; so perhaps im desensitized?
I'd never do that in Nazi America. This wasn't a US flight.
Pro Tip:
turn your mod upside down in your carry on bag, and it wont leak do to pressure changes during flight. If theres no liquid available to the coil/deck; no leakage. works for both rebuildables, and clearo's
