New way to test smoke alarms

Saw a guy testing smoke alarms by blowing vapour into them from his e-cig today. Don't remember reading about that method in the manufacturer's instructions (or anywhere else). Hmm.

Lol I used to do it with a real smoke back in the day.

That reminds me of my dad checking for gas leaks with his lighter!

I remember using a magnet to test smoke detectors about 20 years ago

Did it actually work.
