I know the bad effects all too well....but what are some of the more amusing side effects yall have noticed since switching to vaping? I know I've been having pain in my .... cheek which my asst finds amusing as I'm walking around the store straight grabbing it (i guess the lactic acid build up?) Haha but she says her husband has the most vile gas she has ever smelled since he went to vaping. This is kinda for fun; I mean I'll admit, I'd almost rather smell like vile .... then cigs but still not hitting that side effect!

Since my sense of smell has "improved" I have noticed that foul odors are even more foul... diesel fumes, dog fumes, etc...

I've noticed that too!!! I never realized there is a spot on my drive home that smells like a septic tank exploded until the last few days! My boyfriend said it's always been there but I seriously never noticed

It's early days for me; I'm now around 5 days off a 50 gram a day tobacco habit (I smoked very strong pipe tobacco in rollies) so I'm not noticing too much in the way of effects yet. My nicotine stains are starting to fade, though I still have poor smell. I think the weirdest thing about my vaping is the simple fact I've not touched tobacco for 5 days; I've smoked every day since the age of seventeen, and honestly believed I would never be able to stop.

Ditto!! The stuff that smells good smells really good but the stuff that smells bad smells really really bad. I live pretty close to a harbor where a few commercial fishing boats dock. I always noticed the smell when walking by but now I smell them before I ever get there.

^This. I totally need to destink my house. There's no smoking in it, but I have noticed I have an "old person" smelling house--like beef roast and mothballs. I asked my Mom, she said it always smelled like that; not bad, just like Grandma's house always smelled, lol.

Embarrassingly, I'll admit I had the smelly gas for the first two months of vaping. Thankfully, the foul gas (coming from me :oops:) has finally passed (pun intended, lol) in the last month. Thank God, since I wasn't sure how that was going to go over (probably like a sewer gas filled lead balloon) when I have to return to classes next week.

I also have a pain in my .... cheek, right where my wallet sits. Ouch!

I have a pain in my .... cheek too.... From where my dear wife kicked me when she saw the latest VISA bill!

Actually, that was a bit tongue-in-cheek (Ugh - can't believe I actually said that....)

In reality the worst side-effect was realizing how bad my feet really DO stink! I don't know how my family has put up with it all these years, I can't stand it!!!

Ok, this actually made me laugh out loud and was the reply I was totally looking for! I mean I have bubbly guts which scares me because of her hubbies gas stories I feel it's coming but if we can't laugh at ourselves there is no fun! I think we needed a funny post of side effects and not just the downer ones of headaches and sore throats

Ugh, I grew up in a bay front town. Mmmm, rotting fish guts, brings back memories. Now, I live near a meat packing plant, and I can smell when they fill up the rail cars with carcasses that are sent across town to the rendering plant. Now that is something rancid and hellish. No wonder our house was so cheap! People who could smell don't want to live here. Oh well!

Oh, no! This was NOT funny at all when it was happening to me! (Okay, it was, a little. So I'm a girl and I fart, and it stinks, bad--broken illusion of femininity, lol!)

I do notice that I've been smoking more tobacco flavors lately instead of the fruity flavors I started with. Hmm, fruity vapes=tooty behind? Perhaps...

for me it's more on the side of borderline hoarding. I blame what my wife calls the squirrel syndrome, where im just on any website and next thing I know my card is in my hand, and I'm stalking the mail box. why? because it's shiny!

Ditto that. And I have a ton of flavors sitting around that I liked but this other one is better. And I cant help but letting a huge cloud of vapor into someones face when they ask me for a cig (all my friends still smoke and forget I dont). Maybe my gas it has been smelling pretty horible since I started vaping.

Oh I dont like some of my wifes cooking cause my sense of taste/smell has improved. .. shh dont tell her.

No, you have it wrong. If you switched from smoking to vaping, there's no way you're going to start stinking!

...But you might start noticing it.
