Smoking is not legal in planes even electronic ones (even in the bathroom), They'll tell you this at the airport. Checkout this document from the US DOT here

I will give a much broader negative answer. It contains a heating element

Heat producing articles, Battery or Electrically Powered

These are allowed in checked and carry-on baggage, with airline approval, when a component (battery, fuse, heat element) is isolated to prevent unintentional activation and generation of heat during transport.

Every airline I have ever flow on explicitly prohibits vaping on flights.

Since the flight is to the US, the US Federal law applies. The US Federal law forbids vaping (use of e-cigarettes) on commercial flights. See the US DOT announcement on their regulation update on the matter:

The Department interprets the existing Part 252 to prohibit e-cigarette use, but is codifying this interpretation.

From the KLM website: "Using an electronic cigarette or recharging it or its batteries is never allowed on board." https://www.klm.co.uk/information/baggage/restricted-items-hand-baggage
