I remember one time I was mixing up the most buttery french vanilla. I had somehow gotten some on the sleeve of my hoodie. It transformed into this rotten butter smell that followed me all day until I clued in.....duh:facepalm:

ewwww I don't like the buttery flavors at all
most cheesecakes I've tried were mostly butter tasting, so gross

Just be glad it didn't smell like urine. I'll never get over the post stating some vaper smells like urine. Like green tea, and honey ae all I remember. I won't EVEN try either one. I did try to get verification thru reading more. Just be warned. They don't all smell great as they vape. But Pre coil heat you can weed out any weird ones. After the heat factor it's kind of like not being able to smell your own perfume I suspect

Why would they move away?!?! Sell of blueberry candy would make me sit closer. Lol.

My mother doesn't know I've quit analogs via vaping but yesterday I vaped Belgian Cocoa all night in my room. Mid vape she stuck her head in to ask something and said "wow your room makes me crave chocolates. Why does it smell so much like chocolates in here?" ^__^

The OP story reminds me, I've smelled some perfumey liquids, but nothing is nearly as offensive as 20 year old clueless males and their Axe Body Spray or hippies and their patchouli. Of course, no smoker intentionally wants to smell like an ashtray or non-soap user wants to smell like armpits, but no amount of perfumes can really fix the problem. Insert lipstick on a pig reference here.

All the candy and baked goods flavors might raise an eyebrow, but at least you don't come off as some loser that has obviously lost most of your sense of smell by covering your own BO with something more pungent. As far as pheromone and smell attraction might be concerned, vapor flavor smells should be more appealing than a lot of stuff that too many people pay lots of money for to splash and spray all over themselves. I will continue to encourage analog smokers to vape, and everybody here to do the same. Don't be at all ashamed.

I vape Honey Hookah! It is delish! Really yummy! But I cannot vape the stuff in public! It smells like a cross between wet ferret and dirty old urinal! My favorite vaping spot in the house is at my vanity in my bedroom next to my bathroom, and when I first started vaping the stuff, I would sniff the air, then go scrub my toilet! Get back to vaping again, then that smell again! The liquid itself doesn't smell like that, the liquid smells absolutely beautiful! But heat it up and YUCK! But it tastes soooooo good I tolerate it!

That is one of the reasons that my ADV is a strong menthol with only mint and menthol flavorings. I love the stronger flavorings, but i only use them in my truck, at home, or sometimes in my office. Anywhere else, i only carry the menthol (currently extreme ice from mbv) with me. The juice itself doesn't have a strong smell, and the vapor has even less of a smell. I have found other juices to have quite an odor (usually pleasant) even if the tank is in my pocket.

That's fine, I'm referring to a different breed of human. Everyone at work could smell his armpits from over 20 feet away. After begging him to do something about it for weeks, he started to smell like patchouli and armpits from over 20 feet away. Before we could clean, shave, and sterilize him, he was fired for being too high to remember his schedule. I lived in France for a bit, and they are notoriously stinky, but also make some of the finest perfumes.

Off an a tangent here, but I have often wondered about the crossover from perfume makers to vape flavor makers. I know e-liquid flavor is mostly food flavorings, probably more akin to food baking chemistry. I won't be making juice flavors myself, but I get some really weird ideas sometimes. Bacon has been done. Cool Ranch Doritos? Cheetos? Peperoni pizza? You would smell like everybody else if you vaped that kind of stuff. Maybe Wonka's 5 course meal gum that turns you into a blueberry when you're finished?

my husband came in and asked what I'd been cooking, that it smelled like burnt coffee.
I was like uh... cooking? I was vaping caramel apple.

It's very interesting how the juice can smell like one thing on the bottle, taste like something else, and the exhale is yet another smell. Very interesting chemistry going on in the world of vaping flavors.

lol bacon...

I just ordered some of the bacon smoke juice from MtBakerVapor the other day....haha. I was joking with my folks talking about some of the flavors that are out there and said "I would be very surprised if there wasn't a bacon flavor out there." Sho nuff. It's on the to me baby I hope it's good! The dogs are probably gonna LOVE me even more than they already do.
