1 week observation...My house smells

[Aunt Lala]

What happens after a week of vaping and not smoking??? At first I thought my house was actually starting to smell better... Now I realize it kinda smells like dog... especially the couch (yuck)

Thank god not just for my PV, but for febreeze

You're funny. Just wait, now you'll notice your car, that winter coat you haven't used yet, etc., etc. Smell isn't always a good thing!

 

[tigerlily]

I've noticed the same thing!

 

[Toritha]

I also agree, the same thing is happening to me. I'm going to have to wash all my cloths.

You will feel like Scooby Doo when you go to stores and can smell all the smokers and which direction they are walkingin behind your back with out the need for sight.

 

[kelleymcm]

me too , been there & done that ..........

I have also learned that when I think I smell FIRE !!
to look around me B-4 freaking out, It has so far........ just been smokers

 

[Goldenkobold]

Thankfully I was moving as I started vaping so as my smell came back it was only to new house smell

After a bit you can smell smoke from a cigarette that's coming from a car or a house---AND THE SMOKER ISN'T ANYWHERE TO BE SEEN.

 

[Aunt Lala]

So I'm going to become one of those scowling ex-smokers scowling at smokers like they use to scowl at me

 

[Automaton]

Aw, don't do that, Aunt Lala. No one likes having nasty energy thrown at them. Instead, vape where they can see. See if they ask.

Am I the only one who didn't notice a huge change in smell or taste? Maybe it's because I'm young. Didn't cough up anything weird-colored either like a lot of people do. I did feel run down and have quite a cough for the week or two after quitting, though.

I did go through a short period (we're talking a week or so) where cigarette smoke smelled intensely strong and nauseating. But just cig smoke. And it eventually evened out, to how it smelled when I was a non-smoker - not horrible, but not appealing either.

 

[Vapmire]

Vaping after being a smoker = evolution. <-- the period is there!

I noticed the dog smell too but never thought about it being the lack of cig smoke in the house now.
I thought the smell in the house was the dog. I guess I better start shampooing carpets and furniture instead of picking on my poor dog all the time. Good reason to spring clean in the fall I guess
And I so agree with the smelling smokers now, WOW, hard to believe I smelled that bad too. I find myself having a hard time not making faces around smokers. Makes me wonder how so many people seem to not smell it on others; or maybe they work at not making faces too, lol.

Ummm . . . you mean it's NOT the dog?!?

After vaping all around town last night, my girlfriend is thrilled that her car doesn't smell. I think I can finally get rid of the fugly winter coat I use for smoking outside. I was never able to store it in the coat closet because it reeked. Life is marvelous.

After smoking for ten years or so, I still had the senses of a super-taster. I've always felt coffee and fake food have a more detrimental effect on taste than smoking.

After smoking for ten years or so, I still had the senses of a super-taster. I've always felt coffee and fake food have a more detrimental effect on taste than smoking.

Only 11 days into my new tobacco free lifestyle, but at day 5 or so my coffee suddenly tasted better than it had in the last 15 years (when I started smoking analogs). And the smell of cig smoke is more and more noticable every day.

Took a drag off a friend's analog yesterday just to see.......almost hard to beleive that I had convinced myself that i "liked" the taste of a cig. just this short time and a single puff is enough to make me think I just stuck my tongue in the bottom of an ashtray. What exactly were any of us thinking when we convinced ourselves that we LIKED the taste of an analog?

Who knows.

Happy Vaper now for sure.

 

[jcleaver]

You know it's strange. I have smoked analogs for about 38 years. I switched completely to vaping at the beginning of September. I haven't coughed, and haven't noticed any better ability to smell either.

I have noticed breathing is a tiny bit easier. I can take a deep breath without it hurting at all.

One thing i probably should mention is that once a nurse i knew was at a booth giving lung capacity tests and she decided to use me as an example of a smoker and how lung capacity was affected. So i blew in the balloon and it showed I had a lung capacity of about 150%. Needless to say she didn't want to use me as an example after all.

I still dont have increased smell or taste but my daily afternoon hacking fits are gone

 

[DonG]

as far as smell.........I thankfully never smoked in my house or car. Im sure the smell of either would be really annoying right about now.

 

[Krisb]

Am I the only one who can no longer stand the smell of a parking lot? The lingering smoke, car exhaust, oil on the ground...just people in general! I really do not want to act like those x smoking nazi's we have all had to deal with over the years, but, wow, is it hard not to make a face!

I used to smoke in my sun room because I could open all the windows and lessen (I thought) the lingering smell. Now, I can't believe how bad my dogs stink! They have both had several baths since I quit, LOL!

For me it wasn't the new smells coming to life, but that nasty old one, everywhere. I can now smell the precious time an analog smoker entered the elevator, or left the bathroom. Our staircase at work is like a smoke stack, without the smoke from analogers going up and down.

I used to think I never smelled after having an analog, then proceeding to wash my hands and face...so not true. Studies are being done on 3rd hand smoke...trust me, if that one flies, analogs are going black market.
