I personally have noted a bit more clarity in my voice tone, and my singing voice is *way* cleaner and i can sustain notes much longer. But i think it has allot to do with the lungs not being so "dirty" and my respiratory capacities being increased. Just my 2 cents 
I have noticed a huge change in my voice since vaping. I started singing in a band again and my conversations went like. ok I can sing in a, some e stuff but not the higher range, don't ask me to sing in f# or g... basically all I wanted to do was like tom petty. now I am trying, not pulling it off yet, but stuff like journey. I laughed when asked if I could hit that stuff 4 months ago. now I'll try anything. I am losing that heavy rasp for doing metal stuff, so it's like learning what my voice is all about again.
nothing but positive though. hell I did final countdown by europe a few weeks back. they nearly had to pull me down off the ceiling after I was done I was so stoked. I love vaping.

I've noticed my voice sounds funny when I talk while exhaling vapor. Sounds kinda cool... but not awesome like with helium.
This is like saying, "it's impossible to lick your elbow" - everyone immediately tries...
Yeah, thats one of the reasons I needed to quit. My former drummer smoked like a fiend but did a lot of backup and some lead vocals with us. Had some trouble hitting and sustaining high notes he handled easily just a few years ago. He quit smoking and within a month or so, his range had returned better than ever - Alas, other issues remained and he moved on. I had noticed similar issues with my own voice and I really can't afford that. Tried to fake it as best I could but I knew something had to change. After quitting cigs, my full range has gradually returned and now I even have to work at it to get a raspy growl that I was kinda known for. Vocals are very important in my band and its a real boost to a musician's confidence I can tell ya!

I hate to take away the mystery, but I know the commercial and I know why their voices, particularly the woman, sound rough. My voice did the same thing the first time I vaped. It's the TH and the irritation. The first couple of takes they were probably hacking like they had just been hit in the mouth with pepper spray.
Now that sounds strikingly familiar.... I spend most of the day at work talking, or listening to people talk.. When smoking cigs for over 30 years, I found that when I was being quiet and listening for more than 10 minutes, when I did go to speak, it sounded like I had a roll of quarters in my throat for the first few words.. Same thing when I talked for 10 minutes.. I've been vaping for 5 months now; although I still cling to the one AM cig with coffee, this no longer happens.. I save the roll of quarters for the laundry machine now
I noticed a HUGE change in my voice---when I was about 13 but since then only when i get hit in the nards does my voice change
I totally agree.
I also used to caugh everytime I went to bed. I never cough anymore. Almost 3 months vaping for me after 30 years of smoking.
I also agree with less raspy.

I get a cool sound if I talk while vaping, too! It's very raspy, kind of like talking into a fan, lol. No change otherwise.
Another theory that could explain the commercial. The woman who sounded a bit like Deforest Kelley informing William Shatner that "He's dead, Jim." was still exhaling when she said her "water vapor not smoke" line.
I think my voice actually sounds slightly raspier now compared to when I was smoking analogs - at least, speaking feels different. (I want to drink more water, etc. etc., but my throat also feels less dry/more moist at the same time.)
