GLAD I KNEW THIS BEFORE GOING TO THAILAND FOR CHINESE NEW YEAR! it would be bad to set one of in the lavatory Alexander I would think it depends on the type of alarm. I thought most smoke alarms use some pretty funky technology to detect smoke. Also, if you practice, you'll see you can hold your breath and no/little vapor will come out. Also, I see people on planes get a blanket and crawl under it to smoke, same concept, hold it in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 Most "smoke alarms" are actually particle detectors. If there is a noticeable change in the air it will set the alarm off. So yes, vapor will set off a smoke alarm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christopher Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 When I fly I go into the bathroom and vape with no problem, BUT I'll blow the vapor into my shirt. That's usually good enough...well at least I haven't set anything off yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmhester Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 I vape on airplanes all the time. In the bathroom and even in my seat. I usually book night flights and red-eyes so I can stealth vape without getting up. But this started me thinking about bathroom smoke detectors. If they are ionization type, then they detect particles in smoke which vapor would not trigger. If they are optical type, it's highly unlikely that they would be triggered by vapor either. JAMCO is one of the top manufactures of airline lavatory detectors and they use a combination of ionization detectors and heat sensors. So it's very unlikely that vapor would ever set one off. I just tried using my 7V unit vaping directly into an ionization smoke detector with no result. Smoke and vapor are two different things. It's the difference between steam and smoke basically. I wouldn't vape directly into the smoke detector but you can rest assured that you will not set the thing off vaping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmhester Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 (edited) Oh, and if it sets it off, just claim you had a bad burrito! Check this out: fart sets off smoke detector Edited February 5, 2010 by jmhester Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VtVapor Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 I've accidentally set off the smoke detector in my apartment when heavily vaping, so yes, it is possible. However, this was with our VG juice, so PG, that produces less vapor, might not do this. Granted, I was HEAVILY vaping, and this hasn't happened before or since, so it seems unlikely under normal circumstances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
