Not like you since you got here. AGAIN advising children how to disable safety equipment in a residence that doesn't belong to them is irresponsible and dangerous.You obviously are here to instigate hate and drama.
As AOL e-mail used to say...
Good bye.
If you live in your parent's house, you have to follow their rules.
If you don't like those rules, you should have an open discussion with your parents. If they still insist on the detector, well, then just don't vape inside.
You don't like to follow their rules?
Get your own flat and live by your own rules. Simple as that.
Anything else is stupid and childish.
A 22 year old - and some of the advisers in this thread - should know better than that.

My smoke alarm will go off, except, if I blow the vapor downwards when I do that it is not an issue, I take it alarms are not at floor level?
Virtually all modern residential smoke alarms are hard wired, powered by the AC "mains", and interconnected, so that if one goes off, they all go off. They still have batteries, but those batteries are there for backup purposes only, in case the power goes out. Removing the battery will simply make that detector generate a short, highly annoying, "please replace my battery" beep once every few minutes; it will not disable it.
Indeed.
Like most of what I do, when it comes to alarms, I am stuck in a prior century. My home is elderly as am I, all the smoke and CO alarms here have a battery and no hard wire. The battery is supposed to last ten years but like most advertised claims in is off by around a third.
Back the question at hand, @John2453 do as you please and accept the consequences, what ever they may be.

The solution is simple, as previously stated:
Rather than creating huge clouds that set off the smoke detectors, vape high-nic in a MTL device. When you want to blow huge clouds go outside.
Not really.
Your post about ignoring the smoke detectors and vaping away until they disrupted the entire household might have been a joke, which is the only reason I didn't tag it with a "disagree" (giving you the benefit-of-the-doubt) but if you were serious, it really was poor advice, IMO.

When I was 20 I moved back in with my parents for six months. I screwed up, they helped me out. They disapproved of smoking so I smoked outside. They disapproved of drinking so I didn't come home drunk. I've taken in two grandchildren recently, for two years each. I told one of them he couldn't smoke weed on the property so he didn't. The other one disapproved of vaping, so I vaped and she lived with it.
OP said he didn't want us advising him to just obey his parents. On the off chance he's still here my advice is, stop being an entitled knob. You're living in their house. Ask them if it's OK to remove the detector and vape. If they say no, go vape outside.

Fathers have strange ways of letting you know it is time to leave. Have the groceries started to dwindle? When you see them coming in from the grocery store with one bag of trail mix be very afraid. They have started a war of attrition and you are now Polish.
Also, stay away from the Investigation Discovery Channel during this chapter of your life.
I’m a bit confused, what does a vapor detector keeping you safe from? Is it just something companies are adding on to smoke detectors for parents not wanting kids vaping? Or is there some type of vapor produced in the home that is potential dangerous?
Many of the new ones will trigger on vapor, dust, almost anything.
On another note, I don't even vape inside my own house.. stopped smoking inside years ago, and still only vape where I used to smoke. And it's just me and the wife, she does the same. So no idea if our smoke alarm would sound from vapor, but they do recommend you do not place them near bathrooms, or in the kitchen, because vapor (steam) and burnt toast of course, will set them off.

It's not just for vaping I don't think, it's like somehow "better" in general in some way I have never cared enough about to investigate.
Half the smoke detectors in my house are down, for that damn beep. I haven't put all of them back up because quite frankly I'd sleep through them anyway, and at other times, well, I think I'd notice a fire.
I should probably put them back up I might get to a contained fire smaller in time to extinguish it, but the husband shows up tomorrow and I know he loves making my safer and needs things to do,.
If only he liked cleaning the refrigerator. Oh well, witching hour for cleaning is NOON. I am gonna go room by room. Less overwhelming. LOL.

I have an excellent smoke detector and it doesn’t need batteries.
they have lots at your local shelter so be sure to check them out.

Agreed.. Our puppy mill Pom..woke us up at 1-2am to let us know our new house was on fire. Hubby didn't care much for that dog until that night.. After that Booboo always got fed first & the best cuts of meat for the rest of his life. The other 2 dogs ignored the fire. House had 10+13foot ceilings..but normal doorways.. The smoke got to build up 2-5 more feet before exiting the room to trigger the smoke alarm.. Now we put smoke alarms on each side of each door way.
save up some funds and purchase the non vapor type of detector and swap out the vapor detecting one with the non vapor one, that way you get to vape, they still have a working detector, every thing was good before... 
You are not allowed to vape in the barracks. In the military you are not allowed to vape anywhere you are not allowed to smoke.Are you allowed to vape inside the barracks during basic training?
Hopefully there's a way to seal off the smoke detectors as well. Or the drill sergeant.
