The cabin crew continued to monitor the e-cigarette for the remainder of the flight, and the cannister was locked in the aft lavatory for landing. The flight crew reviewed the QRH for Smoke, Fire or Fumes and increased speed as a precaution. The aircraft continued safely to destination and landed in CYYZ without further issue.
