Do e-cigs stink up a room?

[Doug_Dread]

Yes definitely. Not like analogs obviously, and "stink" depends on what you're vaping.

I vape a lot while on my PC in my study and when I walk in there in the morning, the vaping smell is distinctive. I guess it condenses on nearby items such as my screen, desk, keyboard, game racks etc., and the smell doesn't dissipate.

But hey, my 150ml order of RY4 arrived yesterday, so I'm not complaining, just commenting.

I guess it all depends on the flavor vaped. I've been almost exclusively been vaping the EcoPure English Toffee from Cignot, and my computer room smells quite nice actually. I've even had a friend of mine ask me to vape in his car when I ride with him so the smell will linger and he won't have to buy air fresheners

Not like an analog.

It depends on the air flow and thermodynamics in the room I think. I can smell it later where I vape.

My wife never smoked, so I had to go outside, and even then she would complain about the smell. We have all been there.
Now when I vape in the house, the car, etc..she eather cant smell it, or she likes the smell. This is the first winter that I don't have chose between a nic fit, or standing in the cold and rain.

"Stink up a room"? No.

I vape coconut cream pie or butter cream, so my house smells like a bakery ... I love it!

 

[Hellen A. Handbasket]

Stink? Nope. More like the aroma of cookies or something good cooking! Even then, I barely notice it. Hubby has only commented on it once when I first started vaping and had some RY4 going. He said it smelled like caramel popcorn... It made him hungry. LOL

My wife thinks my TV Butter Rum smells like "chocolate-covered jelly donuts".

I think it tastes like awesome.

Last night my boyfriend was vaping his gingerbread cookie from ms t's and our dog kept jumping into the vapor biting at it, she was trying to eat it LOL.

I have only had 1 problem at work and this is when I used LorAnn "Chocolate Mint" as a flavor. GREAT THROAT HIT, but coworkers were complaining that the mint in it was irritating their eyes and nose. I don't use that at work anymore for a flavor.

My friend's Husky is totally into my vaping, fascinated by it. I didn't exist before, but she loves me now. She sits next to me, nose twitching, smelling my pockets, and looks at my vapor clouds like she's seeing God.

This stuff is like catnip for (some) dogs.

This is a concern to me right now, cause I'm home for the holidays and my mother is very sensitive to smells. I've been vaping in the least-used room in the house and keeping the doors shut, but she says the smell leaks out and she's getting some eye and throat irritation. I've been vaping non-tobacco flavors, mostly half-VG, the whole time and the room smells like a candyshop... but it's looking like I might need to go outside to vape... 8-o Which would really reduce the usefulness of vaping versus smoking during this freezing weather...

You might use a half-stealth vape technique; inhale and hold your breath for about 5-10 seconds, keeping the vapor in your lungs until it's been completely absorbed, then exhale slowly through your nose. IMO it's not as relaxing as being able to vape normally, but it's probably more fun than having to go stand outside in the cold whenever you want a fix.

 

[Paranoyed]

Bathroom with the vent fan on should do the trick. You can also run hot water in the shower and the steam will absorb it.

Forgive me for veering off topic for a bit but a few posts in this thread have raised some concern that I just wanted to bring to some attention.

Please keep in mind that PG (Propylene Glycol) is toxic to cats and is why it is used in dog food but illegal to use in cat food (as a moisture preservative). PG is, of course, what most e-liquids are made of.

Veterinary data indicates that propylene glycol is toxic to 50% of dogs at doses of 9mL/kg, although the figure is higher for most laboratory animals (LD50 at levels of 20mL/kg). However, it may be toxic to cats in ways not seen in other animals. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has determined that propylene glycol in or on cat food has not been shown by adequate scientific data to be safe for use. If propylene glycol is used in or on cat food, the food is considered adulterated and in violation of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.[

Propylene glycol - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Second thing is for those vaping anything "buttery" to be aware as to whether or not it contains Diacetyl, which causes irreparable lung damage... as can be read in the thread linked below:

Okay... back on topic! Thanks! I just care about you and your pets.

 

[Doug_Dread]

she says the smell leaks out and she's getting some eye and throat irritation...

Second hand vaping could dry a person's eyes/throat/nose out a bit I suppose but I would have thought only if directly exposed, like having it blown in their face. I suspect your mom's symptoms may be psychosomatic. Try telling her you've stopped or cut back radically (white lie) and ask her if she feels better.

LOL! That reminds me of this old quote: "My goal in life is to become as wonderful as my dog thinks I am."
