Chart.defaults.LineWithLine = Chart.defaults.line;
Chart.controllers.LineWithLine = Chart.controllers.line.extend({
   draw: function(ease) {
      Chart.controllers.line.prototype.draw.call(this, ease);

      if (this.chart.tooltip._active && this.chart.tooltip._active.length) {
         var activePoint = this.chart.tooltip._active[0],
             ctx = this.chart.ctx,
             x = activePoint.tooltipPosition().x,
             topY = this.chart.legend.bottom,
             bottomY = this.chart.chartArea.bottom;

         // draw line
         ctx.save();
         ctx.beginPath();
         ctx.moveTo(x, topY);
         ctx.lineTo(x, bottomY);
         ctx.lineWidth = 2;
         ctx.strokeStyle = '#07C';
         ctx.stroke();
         ctx.restore();
      }
   }
});

You would also need to set intersect: false for tooltips.

Try this:

var ctx = this.$refs.canvas.getContext("2d");
      // new Chart(ctx, config);
      var originalLineDraw = Chart.controllers.line.prototype.draw;
      Chart.helpers.extend(Chart.controllers.line.prototype, {
        draw: function() {
          originalLineDraw.apply(this, arguments);

          var chart = this.chart;
          var ctx = chart.chart.ctx;

        if (this.chart.tooltip._active && this.chart.tooltip._active.length) {
          var activePoint = this.chart.tooltip._active[0];
          var ctx = this.chart.ctx;
          var x = activePoint.tooltipPosition().x;
          var topY = this.chart.scales['y-axis-0'].top;
          var bottomY = this.chart.scales['y-axis-0'].bottom;

         // draw line
          ctx.save();
          ctx.beginPath();
          ctx.moveTo(x, topY);
          ctx.lineTo(x, bottomY);
          ctx.lineWidth = 0.5;
          ctx.strokeStyle = '#eeeeee';
          ctx.stroke();
          ctx.restore();
       }
      }});

This will definitely help you.
