Question 1

Is there a device that can detect vape?

Accepted Answer

There are two main types of vape detectors: particulate detectors and sensor detectors. Particulate detectors use a sensor to detect the presence of small particles that are released when vaping occurs. Sensor detectors use a sensor to detect the presence of specific chemicals that are released when vaping occurs. The DRS 1000 Vape Detection and the DRS 2000 Vape Detection devices are both capable of detecting vape particles in the air.

Question 2

Do normal smoke detectors detect vape?

Accepted Answer

The short answer is yes. But, there are different types of smoke detectors and some are a lot more sensitive to vapour than others, this means not all smoke detectors will detect vape.

Question 3

Can hotels detect vaping?

Accepted Answer

Most hotel rooms have sensors or smoke/vape detectors, especially if the hotel has a no-smoking rule. Whether you smoke nicotine or a vape pen, the sensor will detect the particles roaming in the air and alert the hotel management. Only very sensitive smoke detectors are likely to trigger if you are vaping in the room, where as a vape detector will definitely detect any vape usage. The DRS 1000 and DRS 2000 are specifically designed to detect the smallest vape particles and will trigger an alarm which will alert the management to investigate.

Question 4

How far away do vape detectors work?

Accepted Answer

Typical coverage is a 12′ x 12′ area with the sensor at a height of 8′, but it does depend on several factors such as room air flow, and where in the room the sensor is placed.

Question 10

What is a vape detection system and how does it work?

Accepted Answer

The sensors in vape detectors work by measuring the concentration of specific chemicals in the air. When the concentration of these chemicals reaches a certain level, the detector will alert the user that vaping is occurring.

Question 11

What can set off a vape detector?

Accepted Answer

Vape detectors work by detecting the presence of specific chemicals that are released when vaping occurs. These chemicals include nicotine, propylene glycol, and vegetable glycerin. There are two main types of vape detectors: particulate detectors and sensor detectors. These work very similar to smoke detectors and will provide an alert when someone is vaping in an unauthorised area.

Question 12

Can vape detectors detect both smoke and vapor emissions?

Accepted Answer

If a vape detector monitors the presence of particulate matter in an enclosed environment, then it would also work with cigarette smoke and cannabis smoke as well. Vape Detectors (PM2. 5 detectors) can measure vapor from e-cigarettes, cigarette smoke, and cannabis smoke.

Question 13

How discreet are vape detectors, and can they be tampered with?

Accepted Answer

Vape detectors are designed to be discreet and can blend seamlessly into the environment. They are usually mounted on ceilings, walls, or other inconspicuous areas. Vape detectors are tamper-proof and can detect any attempt to remove or disable them.

Question 14

What are the benefits of installing a vape detector in public spaces like schools and hospitals?

Accepted Answer

Installing vape detectors in public spaces can have several significant benefits. These detectors are specifically designed to detect and monitor the presence of vapor from electronic cigarettes or vape devices. By implementing vape detectors, public spaces can experience the following advantages:
 • Promoting Health and Safety
 • Maintaining a Positive Environment
 • Enhancing Fire Safety
 • Addressing Legal and Regulatory Concerns
 • Improving Public Perception and Reputation

Question 15

Are vape detectors easy to install and maintain?

Accepted Answer

Our Vape Detectors are easy to install and feature a PM2.5 scatter sensor, including a 5m USB-C cable and plug adaptor. The unit links to the TUYA app for real-time monitoring and sensitivity adjustment.

Question 16

How do vape detectors alert staff or security personnel of a violation?

Accepted Answer

The vape detector also monitors cigarette smoke, marijuana smoke, and air quality disruptions. When vaping is detected, chosen contacts get an alert notification on their phone so they can investigate further via an app.
