Hello!
I live in Idaho and I don't smoke analogues that much. I decided these might actually be good enough to satisfy my social desire to smoke, while not seeming as unpleasant as regular cigarettes are to me.
I used to smoke fairly heavily, about a half a pack a day (that's heavy for me) and have in the past enjoyed cigars and pipes.

I have two small children, an amazing hubby (who likes a pipe). We never smoke indoors or 'round the kids. I ordered the recommended manual batt e-cig that was on the guide. It should be here within a few days. I am quite excited to try it! I got capp flavored juice for it.

So then- is the vapor really odorless? Or is there a little bit of odor left? I haven't decided yet if I'd feel comfortable using it indoors.

Welcome to the forums!!! Yes the vapor has an odor, somewhat slight though. If blown right on someone they will smell it. However, unlike smoke, it does not stick around nor smell rancid like smoke does. In fact some flavors have a very pleasant smell to them, while some others do not. It really depends on the flavor you are vaping. I hope that sorta answers your question. I use mine around my son and grand daughter in the house all the time, and they never have complained that it bothers them. I have asked several times aslso. My 17yr old hates cigarette smoke (wife still smokes). Good luck.

My teenage daughter can walk in the room and tell me what flavor I'm vaping, lol. So yes, there is some "odor" - but it's not disgusting like analog smoke. My mother-in-law who absolutely can't STAND the smell of cigarettes (and has a *very* sensitive sense of smell) has told us that she can smell the vapor, but it doesn't bother her at all.

Earlier today I got kind of curious about the vapor itself, so I did a little experiment. I haven't had an analog for almost a month now and I wasn't about to get one to compare this to, but I do remember what the filters on my smoked cigarettes used to look like (all yellowish and brown from the nasty chemicals in cigarettes). So today, I took a hit off my pv THROUGH a tissue, then looked at it. There was nothing there except a tiny moist spot - no yellowish-brown stain like I remember on the end of my analog filters. So then I took another hit off my pv, inhaled the vapor, then blew the vapor through the tissue. Again, no stain at all. Just a tiny moist spot. After doing that little "experiment" for myself, I'm no longer even slightly concerned about exhaling vapor in the house.

The vapor does have an odor depending on the strength of the flavor you are using. I like alot of flavor and I have been asked by my daughters doctor whether I had brought cookies after vaping some peanut butter fluff and in the store I was asked by the cashier what kind of perfume I was wearing because it smelled so good-it was a highly flavored bavarian creme juice that time.

I'll take smelling like that every time over smelling like analogs. LOL

I vape even with my 3 year old grandson next to me. There's nothing in the vapor to hurt him....just moisture. I vape green apple, and my daughter tells me she can smell it when I'm vapping, but not after. My eldest daughter says my bedroom smells "lighter" than it used to......I have RSD and am often bedridden, so I did most of my smoking in bed. My room used to stink all the time....now, it's a lot better.

It really depends on your juice. My girlfriend has mentioned a slight odor left over, but it's a good odor. She calls me her "little air freshener."

... not too sure how I feel about that. ;)

Lmao. Thats awesome. I vape a coffee/vanilla latte mix and my (nonsmoking) sweetheart likes the smell. Huge change from her always complaining about my cigarette stink. I don't see a problem vaping in doors the vapor dispels quickly and i haven't (nor anyone else in my house) noticed any lingering scents.

I've been vaping all over the place with no complaints yet.
I went to my parent's house on new years eve and my parents/sister kept commenting about how strange it was that they couldn't even really smell the vapor unless it was thick or they were thinking about it. (and my sister hates regular cig smoke)
I also never smoked analogs in my own house because of my son and the smell it leaves on everything. You can only smell the e-cig it if I've been recently vaping a somewhat strong flavor. Otherwise, it's pretty much non-existent.
