Emotional Vapire 

Those vapers who are condescending towards others because they are smokers. They preach about the benefits of vaping e.g. in the office, indoors etc etc. They act like they’re selling religion door to door when it comes to the vaping industry.

It is not just annoying it's also emotionally draining listening to them bleat on and on.
"Bernard from Accounts won't stop droning on and on about the benefits of vaping and how cool it is. He's an Emotional Vapire!"

check out of that emotional motel

When someone finally realizes they need to stop stewing about a past failed relationship and move on!!!
Seriously, girl, you need to check out of that emotional motel - and leave your baggage too!!!!

I second that emotion 

"I agree."

It's basically a misuse of verbage from the Town Hall form of voting, also used in many clubs and other organizations, where someone makes a motion (suggestion), and someone else will second (agree with) it in order to bring the issue to a vote.

person 1: I make a motion to accept this issue with the proposed amendment.

person 2: I second that motion

chairperson: All in favor say aye

<voting commences>

It's a mispronounciation that just stuck, since you might actually agree with the emotion behind the particular decision which is being discussed.
dude1: dude, we should totally hit taco bell
dude2: dude, i second that emotion
