What exactly is vector mode and how do you switch to it?
In vector mode, you can create vector graphics. While bitmaps consist of pixel information, vector graphics are using lines and curves to create pictures. Advantages of vector graphics are, they're very high quality and require less memory. For example, a circle needs just a few information and you can zoom in as much as you want, without any quality loss.
You can switch to vector mode just inside the Scratch editor, in the bottom right corner you can click “Convert to vector” to switch to vector mode or “Convert to bitmap” to convert your vector graphic back to a pixel graphic.

I have one complaint about vector
I can’t draw a black line without them colliding together
I always try to draw a black line, the other black line links to it
I want the mechanics of vector to be exactly like bitmap plz

First of all, please don't post on old topics like this, especially if you have something to say that isn't entirely related to the original post. -snip-
Secondly, if there's something about Scratch you think could improve, why not make a suggestion about it?
Thirdly, if vector was to work the same way as bitmap, what would be the point of having it at all?
If you're having trouble with lines connecting to other lines when you don't want them to, you could try drawing a line at a distance, then use the reshape tool to move it to where you want it to be.

But if it's hard for you, just use an external program meant for painting like photoshop or krita, export as a file scratch supports and then import it. Please don't necropost anymore.

What you just did is called necroposting, which is when you post on an old topic. This bumps it to the top of the forums, where other topics get drowned out. If you need help making your own topics, just ask!
