if there is no smoking in the room. could i get away with vaping?

title saids it all. If I can't smoke in a hotel room, could I get away with vaping? I'm pretty sure that the smell will not linger and the smoke alarms won't set it off.

Have any of you guys done this? how did it turn out?

Mixed, from all reports. Some smoke alarms are incredibly sensitive. You'd probably be best off, doing it in the bathroom -- if a smoke alarm doesn't respond to a steamy shower, it probably won't respond to vapor either.

There have been quite a few setting off smoke alarms in hotel rooms threads on here so it can happen. You could and probably should ask staff if it is allowable, quite a few hotels still allow it.

I remember a thread a few weeks ago where the OP set off the smoke alarm and the fire department was pounding on his door. Probably not something you want to do. However, several people reported that using a shower cap on the smoke alarm while you vape works well. YMMV

Vape unflavored juice or menthol, high PG low VG ...

Pack a small fan and sit in the air sream. It dissipates any lingering vapor quickly ...

If a smoke alarm did go off, though unlikely, I would blame it on the shower, and complain that the water is too hot ...

IDK...been so long since I stayed in a hotel/motel room, can you even get a room where you're allowed to smoke anymore?

Im a big fan of just asking first. The worst they could do is say no and then if you decide to try and sneak around and do it anyway at least you know what you're getting into(and already have a few ideas on how to do it )

If the hotel has a no smoking policy but does not mention vaping being forbidden I vape in my room.

I just don't blow my vapor towards the smoke alarm. I have done it many times without any problem.

With a low powered setup, no worries. Just stay away from the smoke alarm. If you are chasing clouds, the bathroom is your better choice.

I saw some guys on YouTube I subscribe to just vape in the bathroom. This one dude fogged his entire bathroom up with no problem.

I do it but avoid the area of the alarm. Blow out the window if it opens or into the bathroom ceiling fan.

Some people also stick the shower cap over the alarm and that seems to keep it from going off. Just remember to take it off before you leave. You can also pull the batteries out of the alarm but again just remember to put them back in.

some of the alarms are quite good at going off with the presence of vapor... if you feel the need to vape in the room, keep it in stealth mode, keep the vape down to a minimum mist. also, get some type of spray on powdery antiperspiant, that stuff will set off alarms too... if it goes off blame it on the spray... or you can use one of those throw away shower caps and can be placed over the alarm... just remember to take it off the alarm before you leave...

What he said. Shower cap over smoke alarm

I've travelled quite a bit lately and vape in my hotel room all the time. I've never even considered that it would set off a smoke alarm and so far it hasn't. It doesn't set off the smoke alarm in my living room or bedroom, why would it set it off in a hotel room? But then I'm not a cloud chaser either. Never had anyone from the hotel question me, if they even know I was vaping.

It depends on how much vapor your devices make. My vapor would set off the smoke alarm. And fog up the windows.

I suspect my own case would be like DSFA's... 85% PG tootle-puffing isn't likely to trouble anyone. It vanishes in seconds. I love it!

I vape in my hotel room on holiday with no issues. It is allowed, however, and doesn't set off the alarms. One of the ladies even smokes in the room, but opens up the windows and sits on the sill between the double windows...

yeah, I do it also with the window open and exhaling out the window. Thats definitely the best way to do it, short of going outside.

What about the bathroom? If the room can stand shower steam, then why not vapor?
