Had to try that last bit.. Vaped right into the censor of my smoke alarm.. Nothing. makes sense it wouldn't work, there is no corbon dioxide or monoxide in vaping ;) Doubt your ever going to set off a smoke alarm!

There are several different kinds of smoke detectors (I was dragged into a seminar once..) As I recall, most house hold smoke detectors operate off of a light and a sensor. Think of a T - the sensor is at the bottom point of the T, the light is on the top left, and the top of the T is a channel for air to circulate through. As long as the sensor can see the light, all is good. As soon as there is too much "smoke" blocking the sensor from seeing the light, the alarm sounds. This is just one of several smoke alarm technologies, but it's the most common for house hold smoke alarms - I'm not sure what's in the bathroom at the college (or the one the other poster claimed to have set off). Point being, I don't think the content of the vapor (carbon _oxide) matters. I think it is more the density of the molecules which prevents light from getting to the sensor.

Maybe if you really put your mind to it you could fog up the smoke alarm enough to cause it to go off... That being said, I have a smoke alarm in my office (about 10x10 room) and I'm vaping all day and have not had any problems. Also, the vapor seems to want to sink to the floor more than go up toward the roof. I'm not producing large clouds (yet) but if there was going to be a problem, I think I would have came across it now.

Okay, Today's the day he drives himself. I would be lying if I said I slept well last night. I would also be lying if I said I wasn't relieved that I don't have to go sit in the library all day nicking to death:D The radio just said the temp here is -9 degrees so staying home is all good with me. I looked for a new van this weekend. No takers yet.


Good luck! Hope you have a good day :)

Can your son put up some notices on bulletin boards or ask around, maybe he can catch a ride w/anotherh student?

Even if not exact same schedule, son can be inconvenienced, not you, he can study in the library or lounge while you're home making hot soup for him when he gets home. :)

Hope things look up for you soon though. Hitting a deer can be traumatic, glad you're okay! I'm in physical therapy w/2 people who hit deer, they are messed up bad....

On a lighter note that was the biggest doe I have ever seen. We ate some of her for supper tonight. No sense in her going to waste. My husband and son didn't get a deer this year but I did even if it was with a dodge caravan LOL.

A woman after my own heart. Every deer I've hit has ended up in the freezer. Maybe this is a good opportunity to have him drive and you ride with him so he can start to get familiar with driving on the highways. I would totally just go hang out in my car and vape out there

My mother refused to teach me how to drive so it fell to my grandfather. I did not get my DL until I was 19 or 20 and my brother is 23 and still does not have one. Once I got my DL, I always called when I got some place and before I left unless I wanted the wrath of grandma to come down upon me. However, I still was not allowed to drive on highways until about a year before I got married, or I should say I was asked to avoid them at all costs. Never was taught how to drive in snow or how to deal with ice and I still cannot. Luckily my hubby loves driving so I hardly have to drive myself anywhere.

Personally I'd rather not drive. I drive all the time though, because my wife's driving scares the .... out of me! Lol
