Lingering Odor?

[DopeyZx6r]

Forgive me if this question has been answered before. I did a search but wasn't able to find the answer I was looking for.

I've never really had the privilege of being able to smoke indoors, but it's been this "fetish" of mine. When vaping is there any sort of permanent, lingering odor? Or is there an odor that disappears? Or absolutely no order at all?

In any case, I just purchased my first e-cig and I'm excited. I've already begun to say my goodbyes to the analogs.

Compared to analogs you won't notice any odor in my opinion.

I've noticed no lingering odor at all, my wife has a very strong sense of smell and would have told me if she noticed anything, but nope, zilch. You can smell some of the flavors when you're smoking them but it disappears quickly and doesn't smell bad or anything

 

[ladysolitary85]

Your basically a walking plug-it-in just kidding. I don't think others can smell it even though my analog smoking friend swears he smells it.....

hmm yea lol

There is some odor, but not lingering. There's a whiff of whatever flavor you are vaping, but it dissipates in seconds or less.

If you're really close to someone some say they can smell something, (for about 5 seconds), but they can never say exactly what it is. The comment I get the most is "I don't smell smoke" I love that one. I have 2 or 3 stock answers, you can just imagine.

I have had tobacco flavors that left a lingering order for several minutes.

French pipe certainly lingers.

It really depends I think on how you vape it also. If you hold it in till there's no vapor on exhale, there's also no detectable smell at all.
If you blow out clouds of vapour, then there will be a slight smell that will linger for a few seconds, and, depending on the flavour, and person, I've had some people even figure out what flavour it was from the smell. But no, nothing will stink up your house, car, or even clothes or hair or anything. after you're done vaping there's nothing detectable.

When I vape vanilla my husband says it smells like vanilla flavoring. If I vape tobacco flavoring he can't smell anything. He is allergic to cigarette smoke. I now vape in the car with him without the window rolled down and he can't smell anything. It definitely doesn't leave a lingering odor.

I agree with all here, there is no comparison to the cigs re: odors. I vape in the car with the windows up and when I go back later, there's nothing there. When I'd smoke in the car, whew! when I went back, terrible. My husband says he can smell certain flavors for just a second, when the vapor is in the air, but not a bad odor at all. He says it smells good.

I vape constantly in front of my computer and when I wipe down the screen now, all I get is dust, no more yellowing.

I read a post here on the ecf forum, maybe not in this subforum, that said they had stopped smoking inside the house almost a year ago and started vaping, there was no residue at all from the vaping.

I vaped at the relatives over the holiday. My aunt noticed and guessed at Chocolate when I was filling carts, and again when I was smoking that one. She said she was having a vicarious snack. She was sitting about three feet away, and it certainly didn't linger.

Made no comment about any of the other flavors, and none of my friends have made comments about the smell, either in my home or out with them. Even the ones allergic to smoke who will now happily sit right next to me while I'm vaping.

It could be my imagination, but to me it seems like VG hangs in the air a little longer. Still not more than a few seconds, though.

I go into the bathroom at work and vape and when I go back, say an hour later, I can detect a faint smell of it (certainly not a bad smell and definitely not overwhelming like tobacco smoke). There have been no complaints though, thankfully.

I think some flavors have a lingering odor. My non-smoking mother has *ordered* me to vape peach cobbler when I'm at their house. I was over there a few weeks back, and my mom was sitting near me while I was vaping. She finally asked me what flavor that was because it smelled "heavenly". I told her what it was, and she then made be blow it in her direction for the rest of the afternoon. lol.

When I vape RY4, hubby (the seni smoker) swears he can smell pipe tobacco. I can smell RY4 on my skin after I have vaped it..to me it smells kind of sweet like caramel candy. But no other flavor leaves a trace or a scent in the air. Not even mint!
My Grandson tries to figure out what I am vaping and hangs over me..he can never tell.

French Pipe doesn't linger. French Pipe sticks around like a great friend, who is always there to lift your spirits. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Yeah Man, Vape on!! My wife doesn't smoke and never has and usually can smell anything... what I'm drinking, smokin, etc. but she's not made any comments, other than how nice I smell now. All my clothes are so clean smelling. It's great, you shouldn't get any complaints. I vape all day in a State owned office building which strickly prohibits smoking and no one has said a word, just smiles (SMILIN).

My nephew guessed the flavor I was vaping yesterday. It was orange juice and it apparently smells pretty good! (It tastes really good, too.)

How I wish I smoked e-cigs when living in the dorms! I wonder how much time I would have saved not having to go up and down nine floors every hour or so.
