Smoking in the (public) bathroom!

[buddywally]

I thought I'd share this funny story.

Wed/Th/Friday last week I attended a teacher conference in Seattle.

On the first day, I had my Eroll and only TWO 0.4mL carts loaded on two batteries. I vaped outside on breaks and uhm, did a bit of a sneaky-vape or two while occupying a stall, no problems.

I forgot to pack needle-tipped bottles, so the next day I just loaded my Protank with AVE-Hype, screwed it onto my Vamo and went to the conference, which was in a high-school building.

Having had success vaping in the bathroom, and needing both a vape and some bladder relief, I walked into the empty bathroom, did my biz, washed my hands and then brazenly whipped out the Vamo, took a couple of toots and BLAMMO! the smoke alarm went off.

I nonchalantly walked out of the school to my car, deposited said vape apparatus and commenced a discussion with attendees (who are now exiting the building en masse) about "what do you think happened".

The firemen decided that it was analog smoke sucked into the bathroom that set off the detector.

Be careful folks, some of those detectors are sensitive to colloidal suspensions AS WELL as smoke!

But I totally got away with it!

HAHAHA thats freaking hilarious. I would probably be in a fluster if i were you. Luckily, you had a car to store the vapes well if not.....

But honestly speaking, i never knew vapes could sound off smoke detectors. I gotta watch my surrrounding when i vape in public toilet now

I think if you do the "stealth-vape", with an extra inhale and blow the exhale through the collar of a shirt you'll be better off. I just blew a ripper in the corner of the bathroom, while looking out the window and didn't notice that I was standing right under the detector. Pretty low ceiling too.

It definitely got my adrenalin going there!

I probably would be more low profile and do the stealth vape method. Can't imagine the consequences if im caught. Probably expelled from school and get into trouble with the law as well. Too risky :3

Ive vaped in airport bathrooms and on planes in the bathroom Im glad you posted this it could save someone allot of trouble! Im glad you were not caught and no ones the wiser you might of gotten a hefty bill from the Seattle FD! Not to mention unwanted attention from your school district!

Substitute vaping for smoking in the lyrics.

Someone said in another thread that the fire alarms that have a visual component are the ones that react to the vapor.

 

[BlueMoods]

LMAO, too funny, and too much like something I'd do. Though I do make a stealth mix that, if I hold it in for a couple of seconds, produces no visible vapor - handy for those long no smoking or vaping meetings - yeah right, me not have my nic, are you insane.

I learned this lesson at home. I have a relatively new detector in my office and if I cloud up the room enough, it will go off. Sure startled me the first time! So I am now very careful when in hotel rooms and other places. I check for detectors before vaping and then make sure I don't vape heavy enough or close enough to set them off.

If I am discreet-vaping in a confined space with a smoke detector, I just use a battery with a carto on it. They get me through when I need a fix, but don't produce enough, or thick enough vapor to set them off. Tried it recently on a trip in 2 airplane bathrooms with no problems.

Thanks for the info... I'll use the collar/tent method from now on.

 

[cags]

of course, if we are vaping we don't smell like an ashtray. so that is always my "defense"
..."what, do I smell like I smoked a cig????????".....

 

[nerojrnde]

That's pretty good. Yeah I can vape pretty much anywhere no one can visibly see me. I just take a rip off my Vamo and blow it under my shirt. No vapor, and barely any smell. Works for me!

I have to ask, What kinda vape did you pouf? That must of been one mighty vape. I cant see my vaping setting off a fire alarm. I made more mess with my cigarettes and they did not set anything off.

I can say, I had an appt when the detector would go off every time I made a Pizza. I learned to blow the fan at it when the oven was on.

Why Does My Smoke Detector Go off When I Shower?

I was vaping Hype from AVE juice loaded in a ProTank (that WAS working quite well, I must say).

It WAS blowing serious clouds, and I had been in a meeting so I was being particularly deliberate with my draw since I knew I wasn't going to get another one for a couple of hours.

It probably didn't help that I blew the vapor upwards towards the light so as to admire my handiwork.

That is one funny story, I have vaped in the washroom and usually use my blouse to filter it as I have heard vaping can set some detectors off. Actually though it's a great advertisement for the Vamo, I just ordered one and am currently waiting for vape mail. I will probably just use my ego twist when I'm out, so I should be safe in the washroom.
