NewAddict Posted April 1, 2017 #1 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Not to start a huge debate, but just wondering.... I had a coworker tell me once he set off a smoke detector in his dorm room, and the alarm went off in the whole dorms. No matter how true it is, watching cruise videos, twice I've seen people vaping in their cabin. If it could set off an alarm in a dorm, couldn't it set off an alarm if done in a ship cabin? Does anyone here know of a time when the alarms have gone off due to vaping? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sprite Posted April 1, 2017 #2 Share Posted April 1, 2017 I've been reading some posts that someone set off the sprinkler system in the casino by blowing the "smoke" near one of them. I would NOT want to drench my cabin. Sent from my P01M using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammee Posted April 1, 2017 #3 Share Posted April 1, 2017 That casino set off was a glitch/problem with the system, nothing to do with the vaping. I don't remember the mechanics, but certain detectors can pickup the vapor, like those in the bathrooms of an airplane bathroom, something to do with an optic sensor? Not saying it's right or wrong, but if you're sitting in your cabin and have a vape, nothing is going to happen. Google it, tons of articles come up on how this all works.

riffatsea Posted April 1, 2017 #4 Share Posted April 1, 2017 If it is against the rules(which it is) then why are people on here giving advice to do it??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamericannn Posted April 1, 2017 #5 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Just don't do it and the alarm will not go off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostsoulcruiser Posted April 1, 2017 #6 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Depending on the type of sensor and distance to the cape, it could go off. Remember, vaping is not allowed in the cabin so be careful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

perditax Posted April 1, 2017 #8 Share Posted April 1, 2017 If this was actually happening (the detectors being triggered) we'd be reading about it, because you know people *are* vaping in their staterooms. Do the math. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beachbum53 Posted April 1, 2017 #9 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Depending on how sensitive a smoke detector is, on a cruise ship, hotel, wherever, I would imagine you could set off a detector if you're directly under it and blew a huge cloud into it. I am not going to advocate vaping in your cabin, but if you choose to do so, just use common sense and put some distance between you and the smoke detector.

chengkp75 Posted April 1, 2017 #10 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Not sure what type of sprinkler system or detectors were present in the casino, but I doubt smoke would trigger an automatic sprinkler. In the cabins, the smoke detector is only connected to an alarm system. The sprinkler is triggered when heat melts the little orange plug in the sprinkler head, dropping out the plug and allowing the pressurized water behind it to flow. So, while vaping may set off a smoke detector (shower steam has been known to do so), it wouldn't trigger the sprinklers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted April 1, 2017 #11 Share Posted April 1, 2017 HEAT triggers sprinklers. SMOKE triggers smoke detectors. Your "vaping" will trigger nothing, unless you are blowing your vapor into the detector. No worries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashleycrew Posted April 1, 2017 #12 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Get something super small like an icare mini which does not produce a lot of puff and some juice that doesn't smell and you will have no worries. I would be worried if you had some massive fog producing device with some crazy flavor in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone here know of a time when the alarms have gone off due to vaping? The thing about vaping is you can go it anywhere as long as no one sees you. There's no smoke in vape, but even bathroom steam can set off a detector if the sensitivity is set to high. And I have set off the alarm on the ship if I take a hot shower, and the alarm goes off. And then I close the door and wave pillows at the alarm. Don't worry about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louanne93 Posted April 1, 2017 #14 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Agree with CB. I read a review about some kids vaping in their inside cabins. Nothing happened, even the cabin steward saw them and said nothing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

perditax Posted April 2, 2017 #19 Share Posted April 2, 2017 It really doesn't matter how righteously indignant you guys get, or if you try to force people not to talk about it. It happens, and the reason it happens is that it's really not a big deal (even though some people like to get hysterical about it, which is how you look when you yell about "the rules!!!" regarding something that is having literally zero impact on your life).

stevefrisco Posted April 2, 2017 #23 Share Posted April 2, 2017 I wish everyone who can't quit smoking would vape instead. It's less stinky. Completely subjective, I find the smell offensive as hell. I'm not going to cry like the snowflakes who hate smoking around them but it does stink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glrounds Posted April 2, 2017 #24 Share Posted April 2, 2017 (edited) Get something super small like an icare mini which does not produce a lot of puff and some juice that doesn't smell and you will have no worries. I would be worried if you had some massive fog producing device with some crazy flavor in it. EXACTLY ! Smoking is disallowed in the cabins because of the odor it leaves. Vaping does none of that unless you told "some" people the cabin had been vaped in. Then their imagination would produce all kinds of "unpleasant" odors. Smoke or vape can't set off sprinklers. That information is also imagined by the same people in the previous paragraph. Setting the voltage down low eliminates a lot of the vapor cloud. Use a pleasant scent like Cinnabon or Strawberries or Watermelon. Never a problem, excepting, of course, that bitchy old bag that bathes in perfume 3 times a day and smells like a French whore. She'll find something wrong with it and, frequently, everything around her. :D Edited April 2, 2017 by glrounds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mistyhon Posted April 2, 2017 #25 Share Posted April 2, 2017 We set off an alarm once on the fascination by showering with the door open (4 showers in a row, once of which was my daughter for a solid 20 minutes, lol.) We got an immediate call from the bridge asking if there was in fact a fire as they had an alarm notice for our room. They had to send an engineer immediately to see with his own eyes that there wasn't a fire before they would clear the alarm. Dont' do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
