I thought airlines banned vaping??

They may have banned actually smoking from them in airports and planes (I don't know one way or the other), but you're free to carry them onto the plane with you. You just can't put them in checked bags.

Last few times I’ve flown the safety announcement has included no vaping, along with the obligatory no smoking. The equipment is not banned, but using it is, just like you can take cigarettes in your carry on. 

Fair enough (I'm sure many people get away with it anyhow, since it's largely undetectable). I'm surprised so many people in this thread seem to think that a vape pen is dangerous material that isn't allowed on planes, lol. Hey folks, you know people are allowed to carry lighters onto planes too, right?

Well that was tough to find....thank goodness for google.

I'm not sure what point you're trying to make. Smartphones can explode too, but they're not banned. Anything with a battery is a risk, technically. Why should vape pens be the focus? But in any case, what you posted is the reason vape pens are only allowed in carry-on. Because then if their batteries malfunction, someone is present to deal with it immediately. Makes sense to me, since an "exploding" vape pen does not actually cause an explosion that could cause a crash or anything. It's just a small event that would be contained to the bag it's in (or the pocket of the unfortunate owner), and can be put out with a cup of water.

As I already said...

""Specifically, it’s e-cigarettes’ lithium-ion batteries that combust. These batteries are also found in laptops and cellphones. But with e-cigarettes, the batteries are especially prone to overheating because smokers use incompatible chargers, overcharge the e-cigarettes, or don’t take sufficient safety precautions. For example, many e-cigarettes are made to plug into a USB port, which smokers may take to mean the devices can be safely charged with a computer or iPad charger. But if left too long in a common USB port, some e-cigarette batteries can fry."

I've never seen a cell phone explode.
I've never seen a computer explode.

I have seen a vape pen explode in someones pocket and they couldn't get it out.  It burned a hole in his leg and 3rd degree burns on his hands from trying to get the pen out of his pocket.

It happened so fast I wasn't sure what was going on until it was over...

Yeah, I saw that part, I'm just saying that the event is 1) extremely rare, and 2) wouldn't cause a plane crash or anything unless it happened while stored in the luggage compartment, unmonitored. In other words, it's really not worth worrying about under the current TSA rules.

I’m not taking TSA. I’m talking using it on a plane.... which is not allowed.

Yeah, I've seen video of it. I definitely would suck to have it happen in your pocket. I'd personally not keep one in my pocket, although I have a purse to use (I really feel that men should start using purses - you guys don't know what you're missing, lol!) .... But we both know that such an event wouldn't cause a plane to crash or light on fire or anything. And while you may not have seen a cell phone or laptop explode or catch fire, other people have. It happens.
Anyway, I'm also going to go ahead and trust the people making the rules on this one.

You keep saying you’re going with the people that make the rules but then disagree with me. All I’ve said is don’t use on a plane...which is against the rules. So which is it for you? Agree with them (and me) or disagree with me (and them)

What? I also said of course you can't smoke on a plane, like yesterday, lol. I actually feel like that goes without saying this day and age. I thought you posted that google search link to show that vape pens are dangerous to carry on a plane....
