Smell?

[Harvestry of Ghosts]

My significant other was quite happy about my VK purchase at first, but withing the first 3 days she now says she can't stand the "smell" and want's me to vape in another room and/or open a window when I do.

I personally cannot smell a thing. Does anyone else "smell" anything whatsoever from the vape?

Im now vaping in my house, and ive to tell ya, it sure beats being outside in the cold or in the garage like i used to have to do when smoking analogs..

my better half doesnt smell a thing and i vape in the house car etc..

however, when 1 of my atty's starts to go bad and gets that burnt taste, he says he can smell the atty burn, he says he can smell and tell when my atty's going bad?

but other than that, he doesnt smell the vapor..

he just can smell the burn of a atty thats going bad

I keep telling her that she's full of it, lol. No one likes to go outside to vape when it's -16 F with wind chill!

She says it's the same "smell" as when the humidifier is running. She has to shut it off after a short while cuz she can't stand it. Either way... it's just odd to me.

I thought humidifers were suppose to clean the air not make it smell. I could not smoke around my husband. Now I vape in the car without the windows rolled down with my whole family in the car and nobody says anything about a smell. The only time my husband said he could smell was when I used vanilla and he said it smelled good.

I think your wife is pulling your leg. Everybody on this forum says vapor has none or very little smell. You need to let her read some of the forum regarding this.

Work out a compromise as she might be sensitive to PG. Tell her you will go to the bathroom and turn on the vent fan.

Some flavors have a much more pronounced smell than others.

My husband can smell the vapor when we're in the car. Also, my sense of smell is coming back and yesterday I was vaping coconut cream pie in my office, which is a 12x12 feet room. I left and when I came back I could smell it in the hallway by the door and inside the room as well. It smelled really nice, though. I don't know what you're vaping, if it's tobacco flavors, I can see where maybe someone wouldn't be too happy about smelling those, but my husband loves the coffees, fruits and pie smells he detects. I don't do tobacco flavors now. Now that I can smell again, I know there is definitely an odor from the vapor, when I first started and up until recently, I couldn't smell anything.

that's odd, man. i can't imagine any scent from vaping cartos being strong enough or long lasting enough to annoy anyone. sounds like she just wants you back out in the cold like a smoker.

My husband is picky as hell,he smells everything,and I vape in his car no problem.

During Christmas we made a 2 hour trip home. All the way back that night I vaped with my husband and granddaughter in the car. When we got home I told them what I had been doing. They both looked at me in disbelief......they never knew it, and all I have really vaped thus far is tobacco flavors.... tickled the heck out of me because I'm forever getting slammed for smoking anywhere near them.

Your wife must be super sensitive to something in it.

I've vaped in the house around my roomates since I got the tthing. They can't smell a thing accept when I vape cherry carts. They say they can smell a subtle nice fruity-like scent.

 

[Belletrist]

i should say--also, maybe it's a psychological thing, she sees the vapor, and thinks about the way the humidifier smells and so 'smells' it. maybe vape a little less conspicuously and see what happens.

 

[Liscab]

I can't smell my vapor but most people do, even smokers smell it but every body say that it smells good,but I think that there is some flavors that could be repugnant if smell it for too long

 

[Pawpaw]

That's my experience too. If they smell anything at all, they say it smells good.

One time, and one time only, my mother said it smelled like I was burning cardboard. I was using a 555 carto and a few puffs later, it was done. That lady can smell everything!

OTOH, my second ex would find something to complain about anytime she saw me enjoying myself.

Thankfully, I got rid of her before I found e-cigs. I don't think I could've quit smoking otherwise.

My hubby picks up on the 555 the most, I don't know if he actually smells the vape, or the odor from the cart. If you get some of this liquid on your hand, it does smell. (he lost all of his hair, none left in the nose so he's ultra sensitive)

 

[scuzzy19]

My gf never complained to me about smell and I vape around her all the time. she may not like the smell of a particular carto or she may be sensitive to pg

 

[Skyler]

I've had comments on some of the tobacco flavors having a smell. Never on any of the other flavors though.

 

[dgriego]

My husband is very picky and has only turned his nose up at one juice. For some reason he hates the smell of the Orange Lung juice, which is wierd as it smells like oranges to me.
It is only in the car that it bothers him, and so far only the one juice

 

[kdcaines]

Out of all the flavors we have tried, the RY4 by far has the strongest odor and lingers in the air quite a while IMO.
I refilled about 5 carts the other day. I put everything away and my fiance came in the room and said "are you vaping my RY4?" he could smell the juice, just from refilling!
I can really smell it when he vapes in the car.
I think it smells good though!
He doesn't seem to be able to smell any of my flavors, mostly menthols.

A humidifier puts water into the air.
PG is a humectant - it removes water from the air. It should smell more like an air-conditioner than a swamp-cooler.

A humidifier often smells "musty" because it's recirculating water. A humectant should smell bitter-sweet or "crisp".

I smell a touch of each of the flavors in the air, but then then've been in my mouth and across my mucus membranes, so I'm not a good judge.

Others smell the flavors themselves a little stronger or weaker. So far, no one else has described anything I'd attribute to the PG.

Any water vapor being exhaled is generated by your own body and encapsulated by the PG - trapped and drawn away.
