    Red face "Why does it smell like engine coolant in here?"

    Not IN public, per se, but this is what my mom said to me after walking into my room during a hardcore vape session. =P (new flavor!)

    Has anyone ever gotten this in a public place? Maybe my flavors are too strong! ♥ What do you tell people?

    I'm totally aware that PG is the GRAS vaporizing ingredient in antifreeze, which explains why it smells like it. =P

    I'm familiar with the smell of ethylene glycol antifreeze which very different than smell of PG.

    I can't smell vapor from a flavorless PG.

    Maybe others can???

    Your mom probably read that misleading report that ecigs contain an ingredient in engine coolant and like any other mom is trying to protect you in a kind of misinformed way. In any way it's better than smoking analogs.

    Yeah, me either. I have had people say it smelled good, like for a brief sec they smelled the flavor until it evapoated for just a second or two, but never had a neg comment. My sis n law did say my vapor burned her eyes a lil when I blew it directly in her face, but it was spearmint, lol.

    Unless your mom is a mechanic, I'd say she was repeating an FDA warning to try to "help you".

    I've had a friend mention that it smelled vaguely like incense before noticing I was vaping (she didn't know I did yet). That was while switching between menthol and cherry.

    IT can depend on the liquid. RY4 and TAB definitely leave an odour I can detect, not to mention everyone else.
    Cheese graters could also be marketed and sold as sponge ruiners. Think about it.

    It sounds like something my mother would say --- she has a very sarcastic sense of humor!
