hmmm, if following the rules shows respect for their domain. Doesn't educating them show respect for their intelligence?

Maybe it bothers your mom because it looks so much like smoke, that it maybe makes her crave sticks and want to pick up an analog again? Just a thought.
WOW Really People
This member came here to get a little advice on how she should approach her parents on this issue, not to get lectured. A simple respect your parents guidelines/rules I think would've been good enough. Not "go pitch a tent", "why should they support your decision" or "why are you still living with your parents". This is supposed to be a helping and friendly community, not an interrogation room.
I would just respect their wishes... Done... See how this works

To add to the social side of this thread. I have 3 teenagers. My take as a parent
- they follow my rules (they don't have to like it but they do have to do it)
- they feel comfortable coming to me to discuss any issues they feel are important (good, bad or ugly)
- I'm open minded enough to listen and actually grow with them (the world is changing and stuff I learned or believed before they were born or had opinions may no longer be valid in the current or future world)
There is a fantastic article on the web (links are posted below) about the antiseptic qualities of Propylene Glycol. As another poster stated, it has been used for YEARS in hospitals, injected into the ventilation system to reduce the transmission of a many number of airborne germs and pathogens. A vaper in 10x10x8 room is basically disinfecting that entire room as they vape from what I recall. Do your homework, respect their prejudices right from the start, and see if reasonable education might change their minds. If not, fall back to respecting their wishes.

Want to say thanks for the advice given and remind those who posted that I understand the "my house, my rules" thing and restate one last time and I realize I wasn't completely clear in the original post, that it was stated as a "don't do it" once from my dad and more like random comments about it here and there from my mom. Also, if I could afford a place of my own, I would, but at the moment can't(only been back at home since May of last year).
When both of us have time, I will talk to my mom-the one with the big issue-and try to settle things out, not argue, just talk and show her the benefits and ask what she really thinks as my dad gave me this new rule while she was fast asleep and unable to say what she really thought. And if in the end, it's a no, I'll accept it, I will and as I respected the "no smoking in the house rule", I will respect this once all information possible has been given and each person understands a little better what's on mind.
Again, thank you to those who offered advice, whether it be here or elsewhere.

STOP...
Families should stay together, unless you are being abused or something...Rules are not abuse.
I
Stick your finger on there & hit the button, let me know what happens!
Now that you just burnt your finger & we pretty much established
something is getting hot, what now?
@Rickajho is correct. If you're burning anything you're doing something wrong. We are only raising the temperature, through application of heat, till the juice reaches it's vapor point (transition from liquid to gas - no burning).
I vape in my mom's house and we don't smoke analogs inside. I explained to her and her friend (who hates cigarette smoke) that it is not smoke it is steam or vapor and has hardly any smell. I also explain to people that it is only nicotine and doesn't have all the other chemicals that are harmful. You can also mention that it has the same amount of nicotine as the patch, nicotine gum or lozengers and that you can also get juice or cartomizers with 0 nicotine.
Both my brother and sister let me vape in their houses also. And they have a smoke analogs outside rule. My sister has always hated cigarette smoke. My brother quit smoking 23 years ago using nicorette gum and to this day he still chews it. They allow it because I explained what it is and that it is not as harmful as smoking a cigarette and there is no second hand harm either.
Another thing you can mention is that doctors are even saying that ecigs are better for you then smoking cigarettes.
Hope this helps
p.s. I don't want to sound disrespectful of your parents wishes but you could vape in the bathroom or your bedroom since there is no smell they probably won't know. just crack a window.

I vape in my house. Would never smoke in my house. I have been vaping for a month or so and I am not so sure there won't end up being a lingering odor. It definitely sticks around. I am vaping tenn cured right now and if I leave the room(which is a big wide open loft type room/2nd living room) and I come back in after 30 minutes plus I can definitely smell an odor. How long it lasts I don't know because I haven't been paying it much attention but it is there.
I don't know what type of advice to give you, except that since you are of age, move out & get your own place so that you can vape wherever you want.
Last spring, on a 2 hour road trip my husband said while riding in MY suv that the smell of me vaping was making him sick. He said it again the other night in MY house that the juice I had just mixed (vanilla cakebatter) smelled bad.
Hmmmm, interesting that when I smoked in MY house, nobody complained about it smelling, or making them sick. It irritates me, frustrates me, & basically just pi$$e$ me off. I OWN everything........MY mustangs, BMW, SUV, & house........ how dare someone tell me that even though I quit smoking 2 years ago that me vaping irritates them? I often wonder if it is a ploy to sabotage my success with quitting smoking.
This also makes my 13 year old son mad. He does not want me to go back to smoking. He gets so mad when my husband criticizes my vaping.
