A bit annoyed: vaping indoors all of a sudden upset ONE coworker

Well, I have a different take. Both my husband and I vape, and we vape indoors, which we never did with cigarettes. But some of the flavors my husband smokes really smell strong and not pleasant. Mostly he likes one with pineapple, vanilla, and graham cracker. I think it might be the graham cracker. Anyway, it does irritate me, and I'm pretty tolerant.
It does sound as though your coworker is being a drama queen though.
I'd go with the suggestion of using unflavored liquid.

My supervisors don't have any problem with it, at all. Just this coworker who makes a stink about it. (pun intended)
Blowing mini clouds as we speak.Lysol is nasty stuff. More bad crap in that than in the biggest cloud of vape.
Lysol DOES make me sick. Instant headache and queasiness.
I would just vape unflavoured and tell her to shut up. In a nice way of course.
MY thought : If she continues the dramatics, sadly somewhere down the line they ( management or HR ) will be asking you to use your device outside. It usually only takes one and the one that feels offended will be sided with...
" She immediately starts spraying perfume or lysol like she's trying to cover up the smell of death in the office. "
THAT is a problem

Hi, I hate to go off topic but couldn't help but notice your cute dog. It has very similar features to mine. We rescued our dog and have no idea what breed he is? He's obviously a mixed breed but is very unique looking. Do you happen to know what breed your dog is? Also, does your dog have short legs and a long body? We think he's Australian shepherd with dachshund or corgey maybe?
That's my Pepper. We believe he's a mix of German or Australian Shepherd and Chow. He's about the size and shape of a Shepherd, but fluffy like a Chow. And black spots on his tongue!

Obviously this employee is NOT a team player (there is no "I" in team).

Indeed you should start complaining about her excessive usage of artificial & nasty "sudden odor" masking chemicals. If you are in California you can site Prop 65 & complain to CalOsha also. They will investigate & fine/shut down/arrest the principals for allowing such transgressions.
Oh my gosh, adorable! He definitely looks part Corgi!So cute

Hi,
I guess I am lucky I am able to vape at my desk. I have only had one person that will not come into my office. He is an x smoker go figure. My owner said now I spend a lot more time at my desk making them money. If fact my boss is a very heavy smoker. I have tried for 4 years to get him to stop vaping. All ways remember there will always be someone that can't stand that you are happy.

Unfortunately, there are people in this world who's sole purpose is to be the biggest pain in the ___ to as many people as humanly possible........and they seem to succeed.
Before I retired, a young "lady" walked past my office door three times over a 10 day period during the interview process. She was hired and started working across the hall and two doors down from my office with me being the only smoker on that wing. By the third day, she loudly proclaimed "had I known they allowed smoking, I would not have taken the job!" Seems to me if it was bad enough for her to even notice from her office, she would have noticed walking right by my door. And if she didn't notice when walking by my door, quit your bitc........! But sure enough, smoking was banned shortly after that.

Absolutely NOTHING you can do... right now. Just give it up. Lowest common denominator and all that. Right now, the boss probably sees the situation as YOU being a potential liability in HER lawsuit as to why she has come down with something, or cannot have her right to a harm free work environment, whatever.
Just. Stop. She has won. You are doing something unconventional, and as yet undefined in terms of workplace conditions.
Think COLD dishes... and areas of personal workspaces that the janitorial people don't hit. Fabric finished dividers? Seat cushions? HAlllo....
Unless you can figure out how to get this into a lysol can, and pull the ole switcheroo?

Me and some other guys vape on our shop floor. I'll sometimes mention to the younger ones to not do clouds. We don't want to lose the priviledge. Another issue that's arising is the scent. Some liquids have more than others. I'm mixing at home now. What I vape at work isn't unflavored but close. I'm using just 1% flavoring for my liquid at work, enough to get some flavor but the scent is subtle and several non vaing coworkers have mentioned that. So you don't have to go unflavored but try a mix with the bare minimum. I also keep the power down. 420 degrees, 30 max watts in temp control mode.
50 watts seems absurd for trying to use in an office, but a toot every 30 minutes still wouldn't be a lot....
If you could find a way to fool her into smelling a vape flavor when you're NOT, so she freaks out as usual, it might embarass her into giving it up.
While secondhand smoke or vapor isn't necessarily dangerous, I definitely found SHS very irritating and often sickening when I was a non-smoker. I also strongly disliked living with someone heavily into vanilla air freshener, to the extent you smelled it all the time. Her overacting doesn't allow you to actually guage her true level of irritation, however.

Everytime i walk into my local shop its FULL of smoke. Its not a big deal to me, but i def wouldnt bring my 10 month old in there, would you? I feel like its very disrespectful to some people who choose not to be around any nicotine floating around, plus that is whats going to make people upset and hate vaping in my opinion...
