a bit embarrassing but I keep setting off my smoke alarm in my basement..i then have to run upstairs to disable it and stand by the phone and explain to my alarm company that it is a false alarm...the first time it happened, I couldnt remember my verbal password and they sent out the red truck. Im sure this has happened to others. I would really hate to start vaping outside but if I cant come up with a solution, I just may have to..any suggestions?

I disable mine while I'm in the room and turn it back on when I leave. I'm a creature of extreme habit though, so routines aren't even a thought process for me. If you have trouble remembering to turn it back on, I don't recommend that route. The fan method sounds pretty smart honestly.
thats not an option for me because all of the detectors are networked in the house. It seems to work using a large fan.
Easiest solution is to put a bag or shower cap over it while you're down there. Just remember to remove it when you go back upstairs.
Good deal. You can try calling your alarm company and seeing if there is a fire alarm option for that particular one. In my kids bathroom the fire alarm is right by the door. They tend to take a shower and then leave the door open which triggers the alarm. I had to teach them to leave the door shut with the fan on. I had a devil of a time with the alarm company too. I did call to get it switched out but decided not to. Fortunately the girls learned quickly. I really didn't want a fire detector. I prefer smoke detectors.
