Vape smoke, or vapor, differs from traditional cigarette smoke in composition and behavior. Mainly composed of propylene glycol, glycerine, and flavorings, vape smoke dissipates rapidly after exhalation, typically within 10 to 15 seconds. This rapid dissipation is due to the evaporation of liquid droplets, influenced by various factors:
- Density of Vapor: Vape smoke is lighter and less dense than cigarette smoke, allowing it to disperse quickly.
- Room Ventilation: Adequate ventilation aids in the swift dispersion of vape smoke.
- Humidity Levels: Higher humidity accelerates vapor dispersion by causing particles to settle faster.
- Temperature: Warmer temperatures promote faster dissipation of vape smoke.
