Smelling like "Vapor" - e-cigarette-forum.com • The place for electronic cigarette reviews, news and chat

Many try to sell the e-cigarette as "odorless" but as we use it we learn that's not really true. Sure it doesn't completely reik like an analog cigarette but if you vap enough others will slightly notice it.

I took a quick shower in the early evening to revive myself for dinner plans and went to put my shirt back on and I could notice the vaper smell in it from the day's vaping.
It made me laugh when I think back to the original smokingeverywhere sales pitch that my clothes would never smell again. LOL

hehe...yes, there is a slight odor to it...some juice more than others (the JCSJ Original Tobacco has a very noticeable odor to it) but it's not nearly as strong ornearly as bad as that of a burning cigarette.

I think that, in this case, "odorless" is relative.

I've been stinkin like Janty Chocolate, throw in some Capaccino in the cart, topped with a 1 drip in the hole with Almond

Honestly, I haven't noticed much of an odor at all. However, I recognize that 30 years of smoking has probably destroyed my sense of smell, so I asked my husband, a rabid nonsmoker. He can't smell it on me, either. He says the only time he can smell anything is when I'm actually vaping near him, and even that quickly disappates.

But some e-juices are definitely heavier than others. I tend to smoke lighter, fruiter e-juices when I'm around my husband. He actually likes the JC peach cobbler scent.

I have been e-vaping for going on 5 months and that is a question I always ask everyone--not one person has told me they can smell anything that lingers in the air from an e-cig.--Sun

Well, I arrived at my brother's house before he got home the other day. I vap'd for a little bit before he got home. It was about 20 minutes between his coming home and my last vap. First words out of his mouth were, "Did you smoke something in here?"
I just lauged and said "no, not at all must be something wrong with your heating system."

So there goes my idea of vaping at my ultra-anti-smoking brother's home.

I have vaped with the hardest of hard core anti-smokers and they can only smell a slight odor like a candle when I actually vap--but after it disapates they all say they can not smell anything--so he is busting your chops or it is in his head!!

I vaped in a hard core ANTI smokers car one day (she said it was ok after she opened all the windows) and she said the next day her car smelled like bananas (was using Cash's Banana flavor) and it smelled better than her air freshner does and she likes banana so it would be ok for me to do it again lol!!!

I love the smell of the riskee juice when exhaled, but that doesn't leave much after smell. I think the more u smell it in the bottle, the more the vapor smells (that has been my experience).

GermanGoodness · 02-10-2009, 07:40 PM

I think the hard-core Anti's are conditioned to smell smoke if they even perceive it to be smoking.

That being said, there are some (I am one) with a hyper-sensitivity to smell once they quit smoking.
