I did try to google this but not able to find a answer on my question.

Only can find Q@A bout vapor linger / smell..

E-juice : American Tobacco

pg/vg 80% / 20 %

from Mt baker vapor

My mother claim's it cause's her to choke up and eye's to water .

( i want to believe her words but hard to since this does not linger like smoke..Even now as she smoke , i can feel real tobacco burning my eye's as i type this away . Wounder if her words could be right or just want something to nag about . )


Keep in mind she is a tobacco smoker ( kool's ) heavy one at it ( i try to get her to use her vapor but just sit there wasting away.)

If this is true..is it base on pg/vg build of the juice i took or just the flavor of my e-juice ..

Thank you to who'em ever read's this and can / might be able to answer this ..

(As i edit away some word's cause i did not finish what i was typing .No need for it really.

I did not think bout allergies .But i know it not a pg / vg allergy .Since i smoke bubble gum , with the same build.Never had her say issue bout it .. )

I'm a little confused by your question. You said "In living room , far from each other ..

Even been use in her car with no issue , thou ask to blow the vapor to the window..
"

In the living room and in the car it doesn't bother her? Where does it bother her?

It doesn't seem like it should choke her up or make her eyes water since it's only water vapor. Now cigarette smoke will do that so maybe it's her own smoke bothering her and blaming you for some reason. There is also the possibility she has an allergy to PG but I doubt there is enough if any in the vapor that could bother anybody.

quick input, if she smokes a lot, the smoke residue can get on the face and feel stingy on the eyes ... could be interpreted by some as "choking up" .... God knows how many times that's happened to me, especially after staying up long nights did not wash face and all of a sudden, i start tearing up.
IF she's allergic, then it would/should be most of the time she'll tear up?

I know people that have allergies to certain things like pg/vg or even certain flavorings like cinnamon have reactions at large meets where the a couple hundred people vaping. Im vg intolerant, but have no issues when im sitting on the couch. The wife vapes high vg juice. At a large meet, I do sometime have difficulty breathing but wont kill me. Just need to step out the room every so often and get some non vg infested air.:vapor:

My wife has an extremely acute sense of smell and frequently seems to be able to detect things I don't notice. She sometimes says my ecig juice has a peculiar odor. I don't notice it like she does, but the other day I was sitting and vaping and watching something on TV. I got up to go into the kitchen and noticed an odor that I attributed to PG and the juice. It wasn't bad, but it was peculiar ... something I don't normally detect. It kind of reminded me of a weak lighter fluid odor. Go figure, I guess it was remnants of heated PG/VG.

Everyone's different and we experience things from various perspectives.

    No you can't
    I have a small place and my son has asthma condition. He complains when I get around him when vapeing.

    I also have noticed when the light is very dim I can see a whole lot of vapor that looks though its Hanging/Floating in the air so I don't doubt this anymore.

    I have high quality air purifier that for 300 square foot area when I leave it on no problem a vapor floating around.

    I keep on low all the time and if I start vapeing a lot I put on high setting for around ten min and clears it up quick.

    So yes the vapor can have an effect on some and a – IMO- good air filter will solve the problem for you.

    One other thing high percent of VG will give more vapor floating in the air, try more PG and less VG might help with the problem for a while but I suggest a good Air purifier or don't vape around her.

    ^ could be the "power of suggestion"... well, unless air was analyzed for whatever happens to be in it at the moment. My Hubby intensely dislikes anything that smells of vanilla... air fresheners, perfumes... even when I'm baking something with it in it. It makes him choke but I think its the same choke/gag anyone gets trying to swallow something they don't like... the sense of smell is directly attached to the sense of taste... gagging and choking also makes the eyes water. Its a reflex.
