Narrative:A Sunwing B737-800 conducting flight SWG751 from Cancun International Airport (MMUN), Mexico to Toronto Pearson International Airport (CYYZ), ON when in the vicinity of Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (KCVG), KY, the cabin crew alerted the Flight Crew to a passenger's e-cigarette that was overheating and emitting some smoke. The cabin crew promptly placed the e-cigarette in an ice bucket filled with water, which was then placed into a cannister. 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.
