I've gotten compliments on the way I smell after my vape breaks at work (they don't allow vaping indoors so I have to go outside).
I was out vaping some Southern Steam Juice's Louisiana Diplomat and my coworker said "oh that smells so good! Your breath smells like cookies!" I was also told I smelled great after vaping Steam Co.'s Gentleman's Reserve.

My home smells great from vaping. Trabuco Vapor's Capistrano is probably the greatest room note of all, I actually pause while vaping it just to sniff the air, amazing scent.

I've heard that the one thing that smells bad is honey flavored juice.

My girlfriend is very sensitive to strong odors. It can be anything. Cooking, perfume, paint, rubber etc. As you suspected tobacco odor was a killer both on my person and in the air. She has not complained about any odor on my person. However if I have a high concentration flavor in a closed room it does bother her. I switch to more light fruit flavors near her in close areas especially an auto. The other nice thing is the vapor in the air dissipates quite rapidly and does saturate items in contact.

I have not had anyone say "I" smelled different (unless they are smelling my vape) but I have apologized to several people that I use to smoke around because honestly........I didnt realize it smelled as nasty as it does. stinks.gif

I've only had positive "reviews" of my smell since I started vaping. It's a LOT better than smelling like Cigarillos. I Get different reactions, but the other night I was vaping Chai Tea, and my girlfriend said my hair smelled like Vanilla & Tea. About a month ago, i was vaping at my In laws and my Bro in law said I smelled like Pear's. but all of them said it smelled good. Never ran into anyone that said I wreaked

My partner hates the smell of my vape, everyday she comments on how much she hates it, doesn't matter what I vape and I vape only 100% VG juice now as she is PG sensitive. Worst thing is she still smoking analog's and doesn't seem to think she smells bad or that it offends me or anyone else but when I vape she is waving her hands around her face commenting how bad it smells.

people only get a whiff if i'm vaping next to them. the other day i had a friend over and we were sitting on the sofa watching tv, i was vaping and he was all, "mmm, what flavor is that?" but i can't really tolerate the really strong juices that smell and taste like candy. there was one flavor i tried recently that was so pungent that i could smell it sitting in my glassomizer a few feet away from me while i was at my desk and that smell was making me nauseous to the point where i grabbed it, ran to my bathroom poured down the drain and washed out the tank and coil head.

Do you think she really hates it, or that she's just running down vaping so she won't feel like she has to quit smoking?

If she really dislikes the smell of every juice you have . . . well, that's pretty weird. But maybe you have a bunch of similar juices. Or maybe she really, really dislikes the smell of VG, whatever the smell of pure VG may be.

If it might be just anti-vaping sentiment -- this is a little evil, but have you thought of vaping water? If she says that the water vapor is a foul stench, you'll know that it's in her mind and not actually in the vapor.

I don't mean any slight on her with that. We all have our "things." If -- and I do mean if -- it is all in her mind, she might relax if she knows there's no pressure to make the switch herself.
