When your vape and smoke detector don't get along

So, winter window vaping is officially the worst. :upside_down_face: My smoke detector has gone off twice today, and the panic it causes is real. Does anyone else deal with this? In my old place, I ended up sticking a woolly sock over it—worked like a charm. But now, I need to crack a window and blast a fan to keep the vapor away. Not ideal when it’s freezing, but better than waking the whole house at 1 a.m. What’s your trick to avoid the smoke detector drama? :cry:

Totally feel your pain :smiling_face_with_tear: In my place, I’ve found that using a small desk fan pointed towards the window helps a lot :+1:

Back in my apartment days,i turned the portable smoke detector into just a wall decoration by removing its battery😅 but hoping I don’t accidentally set the place on fire while trying to be stealthy.
Safety tip: always keep a fire extinguisher nearby :smiling_face:

Thanks for the tip! A desk fan sounds like a solid solution! I’ll definitely give that a try next time. :blush:

Haha, that’s one way to get creative with your decor! Just make sure the only thing you’re lighting up is the vibe, not the place! :joy:

Totally get that! Cooking can turn into a full-blown alarm concert! :sweat_smile: And agree with you, I gotta keep that small circle more stealthy. :thought_balloon:
