Honestly, BEFORE I set off my OWN smoke alarm, I'd probably have considered vaping in a hotel room that was non-smoking, but one tiny tootle puff directed in the right place as I was adjusting the thermostat was enough to set of THAT smoke alarm (I was really glad the husband was awake and gone for the day, LOL).
If I want to vape in a hotel room, I'd probably ask for a smoking room since I genuinely don't mind the smell of even stale "cleaned" smoke, that or vape outside. I wouldn't want to fiddle with any sort of smoke alarm system to conceal it. Just because I'm a vaper doesn't mean I don't have other things that could catch fire, so it doesn't strike me as a stellar plan. Although quite honestly if I'm traveling by car, I'd rather camp anyway, (even if it's a campground spot, and my car) I tend to find them more peaceful than hotels.... No one in my family agrees with this philosophy if I travel alone but quite honestly, the hotels I tend to afford are probably just as risky anyway....
I once stayed in a hotel CASINO and smoking was only allowed on the casino floor... It was an easy trip downstairs, even when I was in the middle of dying my hair, once. I.Did.Not.Care because I was like, "Yeah, you'll let the gamblers do it but not ME?"
