Your right Here is the current list:
Continental: “The use of electronic, simulated smoking materials (cigarettes, pipes, cigars) is prohibited on Continental Airlines”
American: “Devices that are not allowed to be activated at any time are those, including E-Cigarettes….”
Southwest: People report seeing ecigarettes are prohibited in the onboard literature
Air Canada: “Electronic cigarettes (or ‘E-Cigarettes’), provided they remain stowed and unused in your carry-on baggage.”
Air-Tran
Delta

After reading all the blogs and complaints, the onlky thing I have to say about electronic Cigarettes is: The industry that makes these wonderful units, in all their anticipated profit expectations, actually screwed themselves by calling it a, “electronic cigarette”. If it had been called an alternative nicotine device, or anything but a, electronic cigarette, it would have been greeted much the same as the nicotine patch or gum. Sometimes in the grand sceem of making the Magic buck, we shoot ourselves in the foot. If ya had called it a vapor pen, the FAA would have never questioned it since vaporizers and other breathing devices are permitted in airports and on Flights. You named it cigarette! I mean you would not have called it a smokeless bomb now would you?

This is ridiculous. E-Cigarettes do not harm any other person. Alcohol consumption and crying children are far more disruptive,and I am NOT for banning them. It seems people will allow drinking coffee for caffeine stimulation but nicotine in an e-cigarette is considered harmful to others. What about the people who use nicotine Free e-cigs?
Ridiculous.

I don’t think so. You could get some nicotine gum.

I got one a few weeks ago and my gf now lets me smoke in the house and in the car (and she has asthma). I asked if i could “smoke” at work and not go outside, but my boss said no because it looks too real. So if you try to use it on a plane they may ask you to put it away. I would suggest just going to the bathroom on the plane with ur e-cig and get ur fix where no one can see you. They will not know you even did it cause there is no smell or smoke.

As far as an e-cig goes, you can smoke them where ever you want. They do not fall under any ban and as they are not a tobacco product, you should be fine for the Reasons you suggested in your question. My philosophy is: If someone can use gum, the patch or the NRT inhaler in a public place, then I should be able to use my nicotine delivering device where I choose as well.
If you have some time before your trip, you will want to purchase your e-cig as soon as possible so you can get used to it. There is a “transition” period where you will want to “hide” your usage in public. Even though you aren’t doing anything wrong… you will become the center of everyone’s attention: smoker and non-smoker alike. You need to be able to sit on the plane and smoke confidently without any anxiety so when someone says something to you, and they will, you can handle it calmly.
Also, in-case you do run across someone who is unsure of your e-cig and makes you put it away, take a back up plan with you. Better to be Safe than sorry.
We are currently in the process of changing ours from a red led light on the end to a blue light. According to the link in the previous answer, I would suggest changing the look since the airlines have an issue with it looking so much like a cigarette.
