I mostly vape wow cowboy menthol, premium smilin menthol and spearmint. Never noticed an Odor or had anyone say anything.

It all just depends on what you're using. I vape premium smilin, spearmint, dunhall, and grape. I've never had anyone say anything about a smell on those. Waffle on the other hand...

Last night was the very first time I noticed that they indeed do smell. My friend and I were vaping at the American Idol concert. She was vaping blueberry and the vape was going in my face. She takes huge hits and the e-cig she was using was producing clouds and clouds of vapor. It did not smell bad but it did smell.

My sister comes over most Saturdays (we like to pretend we're having our own little quilting bee) and constantly asks me if I'm baking brownies - it's the Cafe Mocha! :vapor:

I haven't noticed any lingering smell in my house or car such as the stale odors mentioned here, but if I ever do, I have one word: Fabreeze! :D

I'm with you on the perfume and cologne - I teach 8th grade and there are days I go home with a headache since the little cherubs are under the impression they must marinade in their chosen scent - especially the boys with their Ax - I'd like to take an axe to some of those bottles!! :evil:

So what if it smells? What if say someone was offended by the smell of coffee, does that mean an entire office would have to go without coffee because of one single person? What if someone brings in muffins and one ..... feels the need to be offended by it? Donuts? I could go on and on.

The point is that the only person who should be allowed to say anything about these things is the owners of whatever business or property you are on.

I've run into some juices that roomie can smell. Haven't found a one that someone has complained about, they just suddenly and inexplicably feel very much like a hot cocoa, for example. I can't smell any of them personally. That being said, some people smell and nearly all children smell. I think the more appropriate way to say this is that some juice vapor isn't as odorless as people make it out to be. :)
 
I completely agree with you Katz, though I don't notice much smell lingering on clothes. As to people just wanting to complain, I just have to share my experience from last night. My wife and I took my daughter to the fair (no fall this time :lol:) and went to an OUTDOOR dog agility show. We intentionally went on the opposite side from the bleachers so our energetic toddler could run around. Five minutes or so later, a family brought their 2 school age kids over and sits right next to us, despite the 50+ feet of room we had left on either side of us. I started vaping, and the mother started putting on an oscar worthy performance. She was waving her hand in front of her face, giving me the stink eye, coughing, and holding her nose. I decided that if she couldn't talk to me politely that I would ignore her. Then her husband politely told me that the smell of cigarette smoke really bothers his wife. I told him that I feel the same way, which is why I was inhaling flavored water vapor. (A stretch, but a small one) I then asked him if she was also offended by the smell of waffles, because that's the offensive smell. He laughed, talked to her quietly, and they left.

Smell? While we are both in the same car, DH does not like the smell of Cowboy. I haven't vaped that flavor in a while, though. It was last year during my condom-filling days and who knows if the carto was semi-toasted as my tastebuds were on vacation a the time.

My hairdresser and dental hygienist love the Wow peppermint smell but I have to exhale toward them or they don't smell it. When they leave me alone in the dental chair, I vape the whole time and when the Dentist or the assistant comes in, they don't notice any smell. Wowboy, Peppermint, and Smilin are the three most menthol-y flavors I vape. Most of the time, no one smells anything.

I think that psychologically, when a person SEES vapor they think SMOKE, and smoke is supposed to smell so their brain tells them it does.

oh...and let's not forget those that just wanna complain...they are not happy till they can make someone else feel bad...they feel like they have the power!

People can just irk me sometimes...lol...sorry;)

Preach it, sister! I was at a party the other night, and vaping. Guy next to me jumped up and said "Oh, I can't sit next to you, you're SMOKING!" I told him it wasn't smoke, and tried to explain, as did some others. He was all, yeah, yeah, whatever, and moved to the end of the table.

Later on that night, someone gave him an expensive cigar, and he was all over it like a duck on a June bug. Huh?

Ms. Mookelboo the only reason my wife complains about nuport wow is according to her there's a slight licorice smell to it... After a bad experience with absinthe licorice and her no longer mix... She does really like the smell of wowboy though. :)

I feel the same way about tequila. It is no longer my friend. ;) Now waffle on the other hand... they can try to pry the PV out of my cold hands!! :p

I'd rather my clothes smell like a fruit or bakery goods then a foul smelling cigarette.My wife and kids seldom ever smell what I'm vaping.When they do they like it and try to guess what flavor it is lol.

Oh...my son is the same way....I don't think there is one yet that he has not liked....guess I'm gonna have to find one:sneaky:

Joyce...did you go up and tell him that his cigar was EXTREMELY stinky? Cigars have a MUCH MUCH stronger smell than any ciggie I have ever encountered:p
