Do you get any complaints from anyone non-smokers or vapers?

I really do not understand that. A non-smoker can barely smell anything, let alone a smoker smelling it, which is weird, since smokers have had their sense of smell and taste muted by smoking.

dood im there with you let me give you the low down right quick. when i start using this thing i still smoked so i treated it like a analog like going to the back door and smoking it. well she got all mad about that saying its not a real cig you dont need to do it like one. so what ever then i tried different flavors o god that went over bad.. I think shes jealous she cant kick them and I did thats what its coming down to.

I think it depends on what you're vaping. A lot of the juices I've tried leave a very strong scent in the air (and on me), and people smell them easily. Others are very mild and easy to overlook, but are certainly detectable.

Even when I vape an unflavored 80/20 pg/vg mix in a closed room, I can still smell the pg in the air 15 minutes later, albeit it's subtle.

It could be true that people who are against smoking, or smokers who can't smoke inside, think they smell something. Or perhaps they do smell something. Our senses are actually not that great, and our brain interprets a lot. I'm guessing that people who are predisposed to not liking smokers may smell, however minute it is, the chemicals and associate it with smoking in their brains, which makes them smell it as something they don't like.

It's still good to respect their wishes, but if we disregard the few pungent liquids out there, these types of reactions are most likely psychosomatic.

My mom is BEYOND anti-smoke. To the point where whenever I went to visit her and my step-dad, I'd go outside to smoke, come back inside, and be accused of smoking pot because the smell of cigs is just so nasty to them that they really freak out even if I went outside, and stayed outside for an extra few minutes to "air out" and they STILL couldnt stand the smell.

I went out there to visit on a long weekend 2 weeks ago with my ego and some various juices including AwesomeVapor's Orange Cream and Toffee, and the Dekang Desert Ship. the first thing I did was ask if they could even smell it, so I blew some vapor towards them, they could smell it for about 2 seconds and then it went away.

Long story short, these two freakishly paranoid smoke-haters let me vape anywhere in the house, and even in the cars. Awesome. I also went to the Cleveland Auto Show 2 days ago and stealth vaped inside of any car with tinted windows. People sniffed, shrugged, and figured since it wasn't drugs or a real cig, they didn't care. No lingering smell, no complaints, allthough I'm sure someone would have .....ed had I did it openly.
