The molecules are large enough to block the lasers...smoke detectors work kinda like the laser safety devices for garage doors, or bells for stores.
As long as the laser light hits the other side it wont trip the alarm...but when smoke..or in this case vapor gets in the way it goes off.

Fire alarms will be set off by a number of things. And there are 2(at least) different kinds. In highschool during renovations, the alarms went off from saw dust. I believe some will go off if an infrared sensor is not being hit,. meaning any type of anything to block it will set it off.
If that's true then wouldn't your hand set it off if it got in the way somehow??
I have a smoke alarm outside the bathroom and no fan in the bathroom. I had to remove the battery from the smoke alarm because every time I took a shower, the alarm went off from the steam, so yes, vapor will set off an alarm.
I was wondering about this but couldn't find a way to ask, lol.
I work for a cleaning company, cleaning banks and verizon wireless stores. For some odd reason I always have to use the john when I'm at my accounts. When at home I always vape while on the john, just seems to... help. I was hesitant about doing this at work, in fear I'd cause some alarm to go off and the sprinklers in the ceiling to start raining on everything.

yea but your hand wouldnt fit into the internal part of the alarm. the sensor isnt out in the open
I set off a smoke alarm in my basement with my 901, but that was probably because I was directly beneath it, and the cold, humid air in the basement may have prevented the vapor from dissipating as quickly as it normally would.
Like other posters have said, you probably need a lot of vapor and close proximity to the alarm to set it off, depending on the type of alarm and how sensitive it is.

We had to really try hard to set the smoke alarm off. I'd bet you couldn't do from 7 - 10 feet away if you tried!
