Probably the type of smoke detectors you have. If you own the house, they can always be changed. Or, as you note, just put a shower cap over it.

Ionization-type detectors respond to flaming fires the best.

Photoelectric-type detectors respond to smoldering, smoky fires the best as they use a light beam.

oh I do that every day when I cook (ours our super sensitive, new house, you get a good sear on a steak and BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP) the neighbors now know .."oh they're just cooking"

and mind you I did have a lil fire in the toaster oven the other day..no buzzers *rolly eyes*


I've those little "shower caps" for leftover containers, I just haven't gotten a big ladder in yet to do it...

at my old house I had the battery kind not wired like these...I'd just pop that battery out in the family room's.

Can you mount it somewhere further away from where you do the majority of your vaping?

Get ionization detection detectors and they do not react to vape. The local vape store had a meet and you could literally not see the length of the shop through the vapor and the alarms, the city gets real upset if a business bull of customers uses a shower cap, never went off.

The problem with shower caps is they will keep smoke from a fire reaching the detectors too.
