stealth vaping and smells

[house mouse]

I stealth vape around work just to not draw attention and perhaps be the cause of a new policy that forbids it indoors. I have shown it to several smokers and many are interested. My boss(a smoker) thinks it's fantastic, but she has bosses and they have bosses, etc. I just never use it in view of anyone.

Which brings me to the smell factor. I basically vape cinna bomb and sometimes I could almost swear I smell the cinnamon walking down the hall to my office. I also use it in stairwells, bathrooms, etc. Last night I started vaping french toast at home and I had a noticeable odor in the air. My son came into the kitchen and asked me if I was making waffles. When I woke up this morning I could smell the french toast on my PJs. None of these are bad smells in any way, but they are noticeable. I'm just curious if the other smells have caused any problems for anyone.

My supervisor knows that I vape and also thinks it's great. He isn't a smoker, but he doesn't mind if I vape in the office because it's not smoke. No one else in our little office cares either, but I still stealth vape because other people may not approve. I had been stealth vaping Pina Colada one day when one of our project managers came in and commented on how it smelled like coconut. One of my coworkers grabbed some coconut smelling skin lotion from her desk and put it on real quick, then asked him if that was what he smelled. LOL!

I never worry about the smell of cinnabomb (cinnicide) because if anyone asks I was chewing big red

I vape openly at my office and have even "converted" a few smokers. Everyone who walks by my cube tries to guess what flavor I'm vaping that day from the smell, and a couple have people have commented that it smells like Yankee Candle near my desk. Occasionally someone will walk by, stop and go "whoa that smells good!" If I vape in the car on the way to work, then switch flavors during the day, I can definitely smell the flavor I smoked that morning when I get back in. My wife loves it when I vape in the car, she says it's like an air freshener.

I generally don't worry about the smell too much. I have very few flavors that have a lingering smell, and certainly nothing that would make anyone wonder if I was smoking.

I had just got a new order in and was trying "honey" in my office, my boss walks in and said OMG what are you smoking?!? It smells like old flowers, he curled his nose up and walked out. That smell lingered on all of my closes and it really got VERY annoying! I put it on the back shelf to have if I get totally desprite...

I'm pretty sure I'd be in trouble at work if they thought I was cooking waffles in my office.

I got yelled at yesterday for vaping Cheesecake an hour before lunchtime. I walked past the assemblers on my way to QA and they got ...... because it made them hungry...LOL I told them to start vaping between breaks.

I think you women have it alot easier they have all sorts of sweet and fruity smelling products out there aimed at women that you can blame it on, much harder as a guy to explain smelling like vanilla or blueberry's lol.

I've never tried vaping Waffle at work, although I have vaped Blueberry Cinnamon Crumble. My supervisor said it made him crave blueberry muffins.

Interesting. Ya know, I could probably slide a box of red hots in my pocket in case anyone asks about the smell.

maybe its my imagination but i could swear that certain brands have a stronger smell than others even if its the same flavor. I have two different caramel apple flavors at the moment, and the one from Ms Ts has a much stronger scent than the one from FSUSA even though they both taste awesome. yeah I know this isn't the review section but in case you were wondering I think I like Ms Ts better.

A non-smoking friend got in my car the other day and said it smelled like Blueberry waffles (yes...I had been vaping Blueberry Crumble from Vaporrenu)....I told her it was an air freshener....

How about the tobacco flavored vapes? I don't use them too often but every now and then I want a more analogish taste. Have you noticed any smells with them? My son vapes those exclusively and I haven't noticed his, but I feel like the RY4 that I use on occasion leaves a trace smell behind.

There is a smell, but most people like it until they find out what it is.

Unless you start talking with a lisp!

At work I have no problems vaping at my desk, a few others do as well, and in far more open areas than I do. At a restaurant or a store or movie theater I'll just hold my vape longer. No-one has said anything at all about the smell.

I work at a convenience store so I can't vape inside, for a variety of reasons. My co-workers always comment on how good I smell after I come inside from a "smoke" break, but they're perfectly aware that I'm using a PV. I haven't attempted it in public, minus a few sneak puffs in the bathroom. I have a feeling most people wouldn't comment on my smell since I'm female, and all the sweet/fruit smells are easily attributed to a lotion or body spray.

Oh, I can't wait to have this problem ...impatiently awaiting the arrival of my first e-cig. I can only imagine what others have been too afraid to tell me about what I smell like, not to mention my whole house.
