Lingering in the air

[m1273c]

I had this happen in DFW airport. I wasn't necessarily "stealth" vaping as the vapor dissipates so quickly that it's not an issue - usually. Well, I finished a cart (not all at the airport, people) and put on another. I can't remember if it was Capp or Peach Cobb but when I exhaled - whoosh! I definitely paused - looked around - saw people staring angrily at me who hadn't been before when seeing what I was doing. I had to wave my hand and promptly put it away. It was disheartening. A little later I HAD to hold it in to make it dissipate before exhaling and really felt bad.

Were you shooting a scene for American Pie 7?

How did I know this comment was going to be made?

Yeah Kristen the air in my house is really dry so I an't chock it up to humidity. I was sitting right at the window though. The fog was just hanging there so obviously no air flow... says good things about my windows I guess

I like seeing the vapor linger for a little bit but if it was in an area I didn't want it to I would just hold it in my lungs a few extra seconds.

You calling me a liar?!?!?!

Alright now I'm going to have to reenact the event and time it...lol..

no seriously.

Alright finally timed how long the vapor hung in the air... (too much time on my hands ) So I was mistaken... it wasn't 5min.. it was 3.5 min.

I have been vaping the coffee and the CMF mixed together for the last several days in my home office with the door closed and the vapor does hang longer, but the interesting part is the odor it leaves behind. It's very strong, not a bad smell but very heavy. It's the only flavor I've tried that I notice a heavy smell from.

It seems that the change in the VG did do something to the vapor dissapation time. I started vaping in my living room, blowing out right in front of the tv, in October. Up until Dec there wasn't a "problem". Starting Dec/Jan orders, the boyfriend noticed the vapor lingering and asked if I had smoked in the house. He was a little confused as the scent wasn't smoke scent, but he could see the vapor I had exhaled a few minutes before he entered the room. He knew I vaped in the house, but hadn't noticed the vapor until recently. I could also see it in front of the tv.

I've been using VG for the past week or so, and it definitely lingers longer than PG. Not so great for stealth vaping at work.

What's the thought on exhaled vaper contents? Unlike smoking there really is no smoke/vapor generated that isn't inhaled (whether "mouthed" or "lunged"). It makes me wonder what happens if you vape for instance in a small room or car with the windows up. Does the vapor build up? Leave a slight film on surfaces? Is there a measurable/worrying amount of nicotine in this? I aak because I've got to imagine that even exhaled vapor has got to contain some amount, however small, of nicotine. Anyone know of any studies or personal experiences?

I would guess that humidity levels would effect vaper visibly lingering (dry air and the moisture content of vaper is more quickly disappated)? Is my thinking correct?

Thanks.

I asked that question a couple days ago. It ended up in the health forum...
