It is amazing how much our taste buds change after switching. I started with pre-filled cartridges and discovered e liquids a few months into vaping. I ordered a bunch of e liquids at once and one of the liquids I ordered was a Djarum Black imitation. I thought I would love it because it would get me the taste of cloves that I was still craving. I tried the liquid and I thought it was revolting. The smell of analogs and cloves are both disgusting to me now. I refuse to try any other vendor's clove because I know that I never really liked cloves. The only part of a Djarum Black that I liked was the cinnamon taste that was always on my lips. It just took a while of discovering my taste buds to realize that. Now I avoid answering any threads about cloves because of how biased I am towards that flavor.

This may sound kinda OCDish but it's been almost 6 months since I made the switch to vaping and I was headed to the store the other day. I had my windows up and my AC on cause it was warm out. I was stopped at a stop light and suddenly I smelled cigarette smoke. It was just me and I was vaping Snickerdoodle....nothing close to analog smell there. I looked around for the culprit....turns out I see a guy in a car like 2 cars in front of me with his window down and his analog hanging out his window. Apparently the smell was coming in thru my AC!!! I quickly changed it to "recycle air setting" and the stink went away about 30 secs or so later! Anyone else ever notice that?

Yes! I can smell it when someone is smoking in a car that's traveling in my direction on the freeway. I like to drive with the window cracked a bit, but sometimes I have to roll it up because I don't want other peoples smoke to invade my space now. I can smell it a mile away.

I couple of nights ago I smelled it in my apartment -- with all the windows closed. I think one of my neighbors was sneaking a smoke in their bathroom (a non-smoking apartment complex).

Oh that would drive me nuts! Can you maybe report it to the apartment management since it is supposed to be smoke free? Or just introduce them to e-cigs!!! LOL

Greetings,

Switched three months ago, after 34 years of heavy smoking (rolling my own for the last 11 years and consuming three 50g pouches of Captain Black B/W a week).
My wife, a pack a day smoker, also switched, but not completely. She still smokes a ciggy before going to bed. Well, that smells funny, to say politely...


Best wishes,
MR
