For the love of god, does anyone else get asked this?? I get asked several questions when vaping in public, but that has to be the number one question.

Them: What is that?
Me: It's my vaping setup. It helped me stop smoking
Them: Oh cool, can you show me how it works?
Me: Sure, all I do is push this button and a coil heats a liquid into a vapor and I inhale it, like this
Them: wow thats really cool, Is it cotton candy flavor?
Me: [h=1]ლ(ಠ益ಠლ)[/h]

Just got asked that today actually by my girlfriend. It was actually a nice change from the usual "that smells like .... stop using that flavor!" i get most of the time lol

Thats funny lol. But what gets me, is no matter what flavor liquid I have in my tank, they always say it smells like cotton candy

Most likely you were vaping something sweet. Ethyl Maltol is one of the most common sweeteners used in e-liquids and by itself is used as cotton candy flavoring.

You may not taste it due to other flavors it's mixed with, but it has a strong odor and other people can smell it in the vapor.

I am asked with any kind of juice I am using lol. Some are sweet fruit flavors, others are the complete opposite. That's what confuses me lol

As I said, Ethyl Maltol is one of the most common, if not the most common sweetener used in e-liquid. You may not taste it in a juice, since you are tasting other flavors and there may only be a small amount in the recipe, but it has a strong odor. Some flavors are like that. When I first started vaping my ADV I could taste the cinnamon in it, but I've vaped it for so long the flavors have all sort of melded and I don't taste it as a specific flavor note, yet people always comment that my vape smells like cinnamon.

This works very well to sweeten or take a bitter edge off a tobacco...

I've been asked that and I was vaping unflavored. Go figure.

Probably because you're sweet. :)

I don't know Cloud_Chaser well enough to know if he's sweet or just hangs around with girls who can't tell the difference between clouds and cotton candy. But you know, when you think about it, it might be confusing to some people. Both are fluffy and have round edges.
