That is hilarious XDD! But i don't know how i'd aim LOL... Very carefully? LOL
But... But... I'm not a man... Though i could still sit down i guess LOL! THE POWER OF SITTING! It pee's all conflicts! That made no sense at all LOL
Well he's saying if i vape in the house, he has the right to smoke. That it's "Only Fair" to everyone in the house. And i don't want him to break our lease because the no smoking thing is very strict to them.
Vaping is not smoking. Would your room mate object if you wore a nicotine patch? Or chewed the gum? Should he then be allowed to smoke if you did that? I'm sorry but it sounds like sour grapes to me. I'm not trying to be flippant, and I do have sympathy for you.
He sounds somewhat immature in his attitude.

I'd tell him to take it up with the Landlord. YOU don't make the rules. Vaping ISN'T Smoking ... next he'll be saying because he can't smoke, then you can't drink Coffee. Sounds stupid I know ... but that's the same logic ... we're talking Apple & Oranges. And if he's still "pissing" & "moaning", I'd stick an eVod in his mouth and tell him to Shut Up and start Vaping. 
This. If your room mate is that much of a .... I would just vape and vape and vape, and just ignore him/her. Then vape some more
Yes, I would still vape, and let him take it up with the landlord. (I take the comment about take it up with the landlord back! Actually dont have him take it up with the landlord cause it could get vaping banned as well ) If he wants to be immature about it, I definitely would not let him bully you into not vaping. He is only mad because he cannot smoke inside and knows you are concerned about the lease, so he thinks in his head that you will not vape because you dont want him to smoke and break the lease. If he smokes and breaks the lease wouldn't just him get into trouble? If so I would let him screw himself over and tell him "LIFES NOT FAIR! " haha j/p (since he thinks its not fair) What a ridiculous person. Why cant he just vape inside when he wants a cigarette if he does not want to go outside? I smoked for 8 years and never smoked in my home. Vaping doesnt stink everything up like a cigarette, and you shouldnt have to be around second hand smoke. Goodluck!

Look, this all comes down to the lease. If the lease says "no smoking" and makes no mention of vaping one way or the other - in addition to the landlord's verbal approval - you win, the housemate loses. If he/she is going to act like a 4 year old after they signed an adult contract and violate the terms of the lease, then we get to see you both on an episode of Judge Judy.
Fair warning: If you get slammed with a new no smoking clause and switch to vaping because of it - do not flaunt it. You are very much in the realm of privileges, not rights, and more than one person has had their lease terms changed from "no smoking" to "no smoking and no vaping" as soon as they got smartass shoving their vaping in the landlords face. Yeah, it would be a lot better if that didn't happen - but it has.
Agreed - I'd tell him to take it up with the landlord. If the roommate is a halfway reasonable person, maybe gift him an Ego as a way of smoothing his feathers ("Sorry, man, not under my control, but here's this if you wanna vape inside with me" kind of thing.) He does not sound reasonable, though... he sounds like he's being a whiner about it. The lease terms are the lease terms - if he was that opposed to them, he shouldn't have signed the lease. He has three choices - talk to the landlord, smoke outside, or switch to vaping (or some combination of the above). It's irrational and unfair of him to blame *you* for the landlord's decision.
I agree with all of you tbh. I think i will just keep vaping inside. I do not think it's right that he's trying to push a rule on me, when i'm not breaking the lease. I asked permission before hand, & i should not have to stop vaping inside just because he's being immature. And @Rickajho I would never over lord or boast about it. Honestly i almost just said screw it, & vaped outside. I don't want the conflict in the house uno? The conversation came up threw my boyfriend, & my room mate got so ...... off he started yelling, & it was insane. I feel like i truely am dealing with a 4 year old. If they said vape outside, & not inside, then i could totally understand him being mad. But honestly if i was told vaping was not allowed inside, i would follow that rule. But only per land lord telling me so, or telling us the lease change. If he has a problem with it. i'll tell him to bring it up to the land lord. We all put money into this place, & i'm sick of being the person he picks on, & tries to make rules for.
I believe my response would be to have a sit down with said roomate and educate them on all things vaping, even if he/she doesn't want to hear it. Eating cereal? Bring up the new mod you bought. Watching television? Bring up the new ejuice you're trying. Force it on him/her until he/she either learns and accepts it or he gets tired of you trying to talk to him/her about it and allows you to vape. Best case scenario, he/she converts to a much healthier and cheaper alternative with more freedom. Worst case scenario, he/she moves out and you get a new roomate that may understand better. Stay strong, all blockades have a weak point.
Maybe a compromise is available, like vaping in your room and when he's not there. Taking the issue to the landlord will likely end up with a no vaping rule, as that's the easiest solution for the landlord. I would look for another roommate as soon as you can. Good luck!
If the lease said "no pets" and your roommate had a dog and you had a robot dog that pee'd steam... and the landlord okayed your steam ...... robot dog, you probably would have laughed in his/her face if he/she said you couldn't have a steam ...... robot dog to be fair to the household.
Because... steam ...... robot dog. No contest.
