Consider an indoor flavor,, my house, cars and clothes smell like sugar cookies all the time.. people seem to like it. No need for any air freshener tacky plastic thingies
My brother said his wife complained when the house smelled like cocoa puffs or capt kronk. He switched to berry flavors in pods and now the mrs says "oh the house smells so nice".
My new mech ePipe is sitting on the fireplace mantel so just about every time I walk by I grab it and take a pull or two. Seems to be working well, I have not been thrown out of the house yet. I really like having my vapor hang around for a bit without the wind blowing it away. It’s very relaxing and for me it’s an important part of the overall experience.
Thanks for all the informative and hilarious replies! Especially re smoke detectors. My ceilings are 12 ft so if one goes off I have to go outside to get a ladder!

With smoke detectors 12 ft. up, on your ceilings, IMO, unless the room you're vaping in is small and you're chucking big clouds...there should be no problem.
At one point my job had me living in hotels about the time I started vaping. Rooms had no smoking signs all over the place. I asked the lady behind the counter if it was ok to vape in my room. "Nope, you'll set off the smoke detectors and sprinklers" she said. That was when I perfected my stealth vape method.
Now I vape where ever I want. Stealth mode. Smoking is allowed in my home as long as it doesn't bother others. There are times when we have a crowd and we ask smokers to go outdoors. There was a time when the family all smoked. The one or two poor non smokers suffered greatly back then. Now most have stopped so we respect that and ask others to do the same. Same rules apply to vaping. When the house is crowded we ask vapers to go outdoors so others don't have to inhale nicotine as most of my family quit smoking cold turkey and still struggle at times with the urge to smoke. We figure if they inhale nicotine even in small amounts it may stoke the embers of their former addiction.
My family knows I was addicted to alcohol so they ask if I mind them partaking in alcoholic beverages at gatherings like cook outs. They assume the aroma of a beer may cause me to want beer. I assume the nicotine laced vape cloud may cause them to want to smoke. In neither case does it trigger old habits but we just choose not to place that potential burden into the personal space of each other.
I grew up in a yellow house. No matter what color my parents and grand parents chose to paint the walls or what color the curtains were, it was eventually yellow from cigarette smoke. Back then restaraunt walls were yellow. Hotel room walls were yellow. Dr office waiting rooms were yellow. Airplane cabins were yellow tinged. It wasn't until the 1990's that the indoor world I knew was anything but yellow accented everything. So smoking in my house is no big deal. Neither is vaping in 2019.

We try not to be bigoted towards the smokers that are left although you definitely go off the smell big time....
Our vaping is just treated like it's harmless and we've never set off the smoke detectors. It's one of the great things about vaping...it's not anti-social. In fact quite the opposite as often people will say what a lovely smell they are experiencing from our vapes.
@YorkMan Good luck....i'm sure she'll be fine
a few years ago, i was stuck at LAX for just over 12 hours (the reason why is a long story). there was no way i was going to go out and back every time i wanted to vape so i just vaped inside the terminal. i spent the whole 12 hours happily drinking coffee and vaping; sometimes walking around, sometimes sitting. not a single person said anything to me the whole time. i do it all the time now when i fly. the secret is to use a good pod system (stealthy) and don't exhale any vapor.
We built a house with 13 ft ceilings,,, the house caught fire around 2am,, my little dog my husband wasn't too crazy about saved us,,, Booboo went up the popularity line of 3 dogs,, he was forever given dinner first and the best cuts (we feed our dogs real meat). The smoke detector didn't go off because the room the fire started in (my office) didn't have a smoke detector on the inside of the room,, only 1 outside the room... So the smoke had to fill my office up enough to make the smoke billow out of the door,, at which point our bedroom was at risk of being cut off from an exterior door,, we would have to use the window and our son was a deep sleeper teenager at the other end of the house .. he would have access to the kitchen/garage door for awhile but if he missed that window of time he too would have to use his bedroom window. I have bad memories/ stories of family & friends with deaths due to fire... Maybe Overkill,, but each side of doorway get smoke detector now.
I see the line got moved by the shifting of the sands in the wind...
If you do get relegated to outside, a 230w cloud in a wind storm has a similarly satisfying effect.

While back a guy got nabbed by the undercover flight cop here in the US,, federal charges for vaping in bathroom
This afternoon my wife wandered into the kitchen and said “what is that funny smell”, I played it cool and before long she decided it was the cat food that I had just opened. Maybe it was.........but I had been vaping a wonderful chocolate fudge juice, not fish juice so I don’t know.
By the end your wife is going to be screaming at the top of her lungs, "Tell me the truth tell me the truth, DO we have a gas leak ARE YOU CHEATING ON ME????????????"
If you keep this up. Just tell her. Don't like. Don't like, "Gradually phase it IN."
Perhaps I am exceptionally pissy right now because my husband decided to tell the damn landlord I was a princess not a PRAGMATIST and I CAN HANDLE the TRUTH especially if it is not OBSCURED by placation after placation. You tell me the truth, I have minor fit, and then I make things work. IT IS SO MUCH EASIER.
But no I got days and days and DAYS of LIES and it made my life HELL because I could not PLAN for REALITY.
I did not "gently" break my husband into indoor vaping. I told him I was, that was that, and if he needed anything to make him more comfortable, to LET me KNOW and I would get it.
Grow A PAIR.
If your wife is gonna LEAVE you over indoor vaping, she's probably not much good to you anyway.
If you are going to "sneak your way into it" she is WELL justified in smashing EACH and every one of your vapes.
YOU KNOW, if men weren't such PUSSIES about women, maybe women would have an easier TIME not getting the damn STEROTYPE about how they have to be gently "babied into everything" because by the time the truth comes out they think they, the people around them and the world is not SANE.
I am going to print a T-Shirt that says, "Not only can I handle the truth, when you offer it up from the start, things are a lot less messy for everyone and spittle doesn't need to fly from one actor's mouth into the truth."
I can so completely HANDLE the truth that there are times that when I know my husband has lied (but not how much and to what extent) I just ACCEPT as true my worst case scenario.
I go, "Let's face it he could have proven his "mimized truth in a JILLION ways to make me comfortable and like he DIDN'T. So, rather than torture myself with unpalatable imaginings I am going to accept as true he slept with 500 different hookers. Probably without protection. Then, I am going to go get tested at 3 month intervals and since his behavior has markedly changed and he was psycho, I am going to FORGIVE HIM and never speak of it to him again." We have a very happy marriage mostly, despite this "whatever exactly happened" as we changed some things, but most of ALL I assumed the WORST case, and made it my truth and dealt with it. I don't even care if he DID sleep with 500 hookers, but if he had, I would have preferred he tell me, although some things are hard I get this.
That is how men sometimes make truth work for women and I am far from perfect but the way I see it is if the truth is an OPTION and INCONVENIENT and MAYBE you won't get what you want....
That would be EXACTLY the time to be honest.
Not to be mean, but really. It's not cute. It's not funny, GROW A PAIR.
We are talking vaping in the house, not sleeping with 500 hookers. I really think either way you will be fine don't MAKE your wife think she is NUTS and giggle about it. That's MESSED UP.

I though the cat food thing was funny.
The house is hers, the garage is mine. Oh wait we don’t have a garage any more.
Oh well, you are probably right.

What?!?_, Be straightforward?!?, My wife will make me watch "The View" for reconditioning!
no way...
no way...
Well said. Have the decency to be straightforward with your woman. Do not take on a wife who has a distorted version of reality. Women who believe they are princesses in need of knight in white armor are already half insane. Men who think they need to shield their women from the rigors of the world are enablers. Disney fantasies turn ugly when applied to real life.

That's what I mean. "The house is hers." Is it? Are you a kept man, or did you pay your share of it?
The garage is yours? Is there a separate clause in your mortgage that it is?
All this societal nonsense can really just... End if you ask me. True equality does not happen when this kind of stuff occurs.
Not only am I NOT a princess, I am probably more tolerant of mess than my husband. I've done without plenty of things, and I have made plenty of compromises.
I just don't get it at this point. I am exhausted, my kid is here, and I would have been in MUCH better shape if the gentleman who I am PAYING my hard earned money to HANDLE the types of problems I have been having had just told the truth. He might have had an easier time if my husband hadn't thrown in the "princess" bit.
I grew up with money. I have been very, very poor. Even with money, I had part time jobs because my dad was emphatic that well, I SHOULD learn to support myself from an early age, and I am glad he did it.
But even as a kid, with money, I shoveled my share of horse poop. I learned to cook because I was the oldest daughter and my mom got sick, my dad was a workaholic, and I got "assigned" the task. I still got good grades.
Do I let my husband princess me sometimes because HE enjoys it, and so do I? Yes.
I do not demand that parts of the house are "mine" and I don't lie, sneak, and etc. It just leads to problems.
The fact that your wife's olfactory senses are so confused, she is confusing your vape with catfood is not funny to me in the slightest.
I know EXACTLY how she feels!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am lying on the couch, waiting for Advil to kick in and going "Wow, I wish I had been able to start cleaning Friday afternoon because the landlord had JUST been honest."
If you are in a marriage, of course there is some privacy, but when we get to divvying up spaces in that fashion I just go, "Grow up, we CHOSE to live together, if we have to resort to.. I ONLY get the garage and NOW I don't have one."
Well, perhaps it is time to claim a different area of the house as "yours" and ACT like a gentleman and ask her if there is anything you can do LIKE AN AIR filtration system to make HER world more comfortable, not just YOURS.
Bottom line, stereotypes ALMOST always come from selfishness. Like some guy on some other thread saying he loved his wife so much, she was always right.
I think he was serious. I prefer knowledge to ignorance and honestly, if I had a spouse who thought I was always right, I would quickly become insufferable (more) and also, I really do prefer knowledge to ignorance. I don't need a corset and a kerchief to gently drop and to be patted on the head and told I am right.
Although, yeah I AM PRETTY sure I am right about THIS. Because the way OUR vapes taste to US do not always smell so to OTHERS.

Just for the record, here's a CDC/NIOSH health hazard evaluation report (including air and surface sampling) of a vape shop where vaping was taking place on site:

I did just run an AC duct to the closet....
Whoops there I go trying to be funny again.
Hope that Advil kicks in for you soon!
