Roommate can't stand the smell of my PV

[ikelvin]

So when I first got my ecig over a year ago, my roommate saw me vaping on it and asked me not to use it indoors. Naturally I blew him off and just stealth vaped from then on, and didn't hear about it until today.

Last night I had some friends over, and while my roommate was asleep my friend and I started sampling each others flavors (Swagger, Grasshopper, RY8, and some others from Pink Spot) which has a stronger smell, that I noticed, than the fruity blends I normally vape. The next morning, I was met with a very irate roommate, telling me to stop using my ecig and whatever it was I was vaping the night before smells overpowering, yet I myself could only slightly smell our vaping session.

He then went on to explain that he could sometimes smell my vapor after the first time he asked me not to do it inside, but he just let it slide. What I don't get about that is I vape in the living room while he spends most of his time in his room, and when I vape I stealth vape. I mean, I REALLY stealth vape, to where when I exhale after holding the vapor in for 5-10 seconds, there's only trace amounts of vapor.

Does my roommate just have the MOST sensitive nose on the freakin planet? Is there anything I can do to "mask" the "overpowering" smell of my vapor? I'm thinking of just cutting down some of my unflavored mixing liquid and vaping that inside to eliminate as much possibility of any smell. Would that be a viable option?

I'd like to keep the peace with my roommate, but I also don't want to stand outside whenever I want to vape.

Funny i did that so my friend who's are somkers while i trying my juices as well. i ask if they can smell lychee or redbull, but they say no. LOL

Tell him if he's that hyper-sensitive to odors, he's got bigger problems than your vaporizer. You might also remind him that the problem is his, not yours. There may be some juices that people find unpleasant, but if the fruit flavors bother him, he's going to have to spend the rest of his life with a mask on.

i guess if his mates are non smokers, their smell sense should be very sensitive

My sister's nose is so extreme she claims she can smell cigarettes being smoked in her downstairs garage with the garage door open when she's upstairs at the other end of the house. She also smells natural gas before the leak is bad enough for the power company's testers to detect it. She has also claimed she could smell the smoke pulling into my driveway with her windows up, that was mental.

She did not mind me vaping in her house right next to her and said she couldn't smell it (strawberry). She's even considering getting my nephew a new e-cig because his Blu broke and he won't replace it, opting for tobacco.
Now I don't know if he ever vaped in her house and I know I avoided anything possibly stinky in her house. But I'd say if she doesn't mind it nobody should as long as you're focused on pleasing flavors (no latakia tobacco flavor).

I think you should be able to find some flavor that he would like.

Yeah non smokers have hyper sensitive nose, like my gf :-/
BUT she cant detect if i vaped. lol

Glad it got worked out. What a bummer to be treated just as if you were smoking analogs. 1 step forward and 2 steps back..

Time for a new roommate!

or NO roomate

Amen! As soon as I'm done with school, hopefully I'll be living on my own.

Since the incident with the plug in air freshener, which we promptly tossed, things between my roommate and I have been rather swell. I try not to vape in front of him because I'm sure he's not 100% comfortable with it (he used to smoke very lightly, then just gradually quit a few years back) but he still stands by his statement that he won't care if he can't smell it.

So far so good

..... I'm not sure who is primary on the lease but in today's hard times, unless you have a back up plan tread lightly.

Ironically, in these hard times, if you have a job rooming situations are a dime a dozen. People are desperate to find someone to help pay their mortgages and save their homes. You can rent a house in a lot of places for less than what an apartment would cost you. Rental living has never been cheaper or easier than in these times. Not since I've been around anyway. I wouldn't put up with an unreasonable roommate for a minute. The leaseholder is over a barrel, not the guy paying rent to subsidize him.
