Lingering odor?

[Walrus]

So... I got my first last Monday. A 901 from Totally Wicked. I love it, use it almost constantly (made easier with a USB pass-through). I love it so much that I've already ordered a pen-style. I haven't had a cigarette since it arrived in the mail.

Anyway... I started noticing the odor of whatever flavor I'd been using lingering in the room for hours. When I get up from my desk and wander the house, there's that odor...

I asked my family if they could smell anything, and they tell me no. I start getting concerned that maybe this isn't so good after all... that maybe it's building in my lungs.

Then I had an epiphany. I have a rather thick mustache and beard. Sure enough, if I crinkle my nose, the scent gets stronger... I guess it turns out that it's not just a flavor-saver... it's also a vapor-saver.

That's interesting. Good you figured it out. I could see that driving someone nuts.

Squeeze your beard, maybe you'll get a few drops of juice!

Bizzaro! I was born with a moustache and have kept it all my life. I've yet to smell the odor of a liquid flavor.

I just crinkled after inhaling some nasty Marlboro stuff. Nothing.

Now, if you kiss your wife and she complains ....

Lol yeah, but I'd also get Pizza, Coca-cola, and a few things I can't identify

It may be that I'm using unflavored TW with Lorann's. I like the flavor strong, so I'm mixing almost 60%-40%.

My wife has been out of town, but I can't see her having any complaint... I think she'd rather Mint Chocolate Chip flavored me vs Camel Menthol flavored me.

I think the moustache 'odor retention' theory might be correct. Don't know about Tropical Bob's facial hair composition, but hair - as a tangled jumble of dead proteins - is a decent collector of smells. When I was smoking analogs, everything from hair to clothing retained the smoke odors.
