Smoke Detectors

Im not sure if this has been covered, sorry if it has, but...

If your vaporizing can it be detected by a smoke detector? What your inhaling is supposedly not truly smoke, but im not sure how sensitive a smoke detector is. Does anybody know? I guess ill just try it out when the rents are gone.

 

most smoke detectors won't even pick up marijuana smoke in my experience.. not even cigarette smoke.. maybe some more sensetive ones might, but the generic smoke alarm won't.. i always used to smoked joints under a detector in my old house for the basement, and it never went off even when the room was clam baked.. also friends smoked cigs directly under it

vaporizing definately won't though

 

I agree that smoke detectors won't detect vapor from vaporizing weed, but they will detect any type of smoke. One time while smoking out my friend's dorm room, the smoke alarm started going off. He had to jump up and rip out the battery, it was pretty funny. Also, my friend and I set off every single one of our smoke detectors in our old house (thanks to blunts).

 

This is why we own two smoke detectors and don't use any of them. We all smoke cigarettes here, I smoke weed, and we had one in the kitchen that CONSTANTLY went off when we'd cook anything

Fuck smoke detectors. They're just made out to be so important to keep us paranoid and to make thousands of dollars.

Sure it's nice to know if there's a fire in your house. But fuck constantly dealing with that wack shit going off all the damn time.

 

hmmm i guess it depends on the detector...because i specifically remember being paranoid of smoking around it the first time, but it never went off even after smoking alot.. and a blunt once come to think of it..

unless your blowing the smoke at the detector i dont see how a haze can set it off.. i guess some are just more sensetive than others, like ones used in a kitchen

 

if your detector doesnt go off when u smoke beneath it then you should have it checked. unless of course youve only got it for teh sake of it and dont beleive in the safety if provides.

when you breath out after a vapouriser.. shouldnt no visible (or ereally little) gass come out?

 

Fire alarms don't detect "smoke."

As amazing as that seems, it's true.

Cigarette smoke, marijuana smoke, none of it, in pure form, will set off a fire alarm.

Smoke detectors are NOT fire alarms.

SMOKE DETECTORS have a device in them that monitors the residue from any smoke in the air; if the residue becomes too concentrated, the detector goes off.

FIRE ALARMS only monitor the content of methane/propane/other explosive gasses in the air. It detects "smoke" by actually detecting the used lighter fluid in the air, along with other explosive-type gasses.

At least, that is how the difference was explained to me. I don't ACTUALLY understand these things, so don't hold me to these definitions. But this is what I was told.

 

there is logic there but it doesnt make sense as o why anyone would hen buy a fire alarm. id have thought the technology tehre isd much more complex, and consequently expensive. id have thoght its only use is in industrial areas...
