Help...does anyone have a significant other who can't stand the smell of flavored vapes?

I guess you dont wear perfume then?

I actually do wear perfume, but I've been wearing obsession for over twenty years and I use it sparingly. It hasn't triggered any problems yet, thank goodness because I really like it. Most of the scents he reacts to seem to be more food based, like chocolate, coffee, caramel, toffee, and especially anything fruity. The peppermint and cinnamon seem to bother him the least, and I've started doing the DIY juice with lower flavor concentrations which has helped.

Then Im sorry for my reaction, from the tone of your post it seemed like he was being passive aggressive and not very supportive. There are people who use unflavored nic pretty successfully on the forums. Not sure how often you are together but you could save the 'good stuff" for when hes not there

No need to apologize. I can totally understand why my post might have sounded like he was being passive aggressive...and he can be sometimes, but it's almost never with me. He's usually incredibly supportive though, so that might be why I noticed his less than enthusiastic reaction to my vaping so quickly. I have migraines myself, so a big part of my guilt was because I was giving them to him with the scents and I still didn't want to stop vaping flavors.

I have tried just about everything to quit smoking over the years and I had completely given up. I didn't even plan to quit when I started vaping, I just hoped that it would help me cut back. The fact that I didn't want the analogs was a shock, but it was incredibly exciting. He is really happy that I have almost quit smoking and that I am feeling better. He even told me that the scents don't bother him that much, but he can't really hide it when he has a migraine and I have been giving myself guilt trips for weeks.

I tried the unflavored nic, and it doesn't seem to work for me but saving the 'good stuff' for when he's not here has already helped. I vape the ones I know he reacts badly to when he's at work and stick to the cinnamon or peppermint when he's home because they don't seem to bother him too much. The suggestions here have helped, and I've thought of a few new things to try because they've gotten me thinking. He doesn't react to stinkies or my perfume, so maybe my new tobacco vape won't bother him either.

I really appreciate all the input and suggestions.

I am a vaper and so is my SO and I am the one who has problems with strong scents. There are certain flavors that are not vaped here by either as they bother me. Being sensitive to scents can be a real thing incurring migraines and allergic reactions and sneezing. Some flavorings are more over the top strong than others--thats why I DIY the juices we vape now. One thing I have found is with time you build up somewhat of a tolerance to some of the smells.

I'm glad you said that. It is a real condition for some people and anyone who has had a migraine knows it's not a small thing someone should just learn to deal with. People get very defensive over their vaping but we need to be considerate when we invade other peoples airspace. I think it's awesome the OP is trying to find a reasonable solution and not telling her SO to just deal with it.

Well said.

How long have you been vaping/ stopped smoking? Perhaps he's getting the residual second hand smoke out of his system like you. I agree with another poster about the 555. It tastes good, but has a horrible smell to it.

The Hepa filter sounds like it may help in this situation.

Mine complains just to be an .... I don't care anymore. Just vape whatever I want and go in the other room. Also it could be a hour since I touched my pv as soon as I pick it up he starts coughing. Mind you I haven't even used it. Smoking is about a million times mor offensive

I'm glad you got some good ideas to try out. Since you're open to tobacco flavores I highly suggest trying some of the naturally extracted tobacco flavors out now if you haven't yet. They might not affect him like artificial scents do, and they are the some of the best tasting juices to me. They don't taste like commercial cigs or lab made tobaccos, they are often made with high quality specific leaves like burley, perique, etc. Goodejuice's house brewed line is a great place to start offering both pure tobacco blends and sweet hybrid blends.

My wife is also a vaper but hates the smell of ry4, the taste was good but not enough to listen to her ..... about it. Good thing she does not mind bobas!

The tobacco vape I just got is from myfreedomsmokes and it's called 4 star general. The reviews said it was similar to a ry4, only better. I have to say that I was very pleasantly surprised when I tried it. I had tried six other tobacco varieties, and hated them all. This one actually tastes pretty good. It reminds me a little bit of the way tobacco/pipe shops smell...you know, that delicious scent you always wished your analogs would actually taste like but they never did. I'll have to look into goodejuice.

I've heard of bobas, but could you tell me what it is/how it tastes?

Yes I love that smell! I would have really gotten into pipes and cigars if I would have given them a chance but now I can recreate those flavors with NETs. If you like ry4 you will love GJ4 from goodejuice. I've actually had only a few ry4's but this one was by FAR the best. Also try Vita Bella if you like a little sweetness in your tobacco vapes.

It's a 100% vg liquid from AVE. It's good, but makes huge amount of vapor. It's sold as a tobacco flavor but to me it tastes exactly like graham cracker.

Good Job Jerms,

These are my exact findings. Hold the vape in a little longer so it absorbs in your mouth / lungs. Use more of a PV type liquid to reduce the amount of vape that is produced.

I'm blessed, my spouse enjoys the scent of some of my "flavors".
