I just got married and I had a job as retail salesperson inside a air conditioned shop.Now I am still quarentined overseas so I don’t know how will be the situation when I returned.I am a closet vaper,i recently invested on two mod,tank and many sub ohm coil,if I don’t use them I felt like I wasted and I don’t want to go through the trouble of selling them and lost money.I can sense that when I vape nic salt on a pod,my wife didn’t really complain and I myself felt more comfortable vaping it...whenever my wife walk out of the room,I would be chain vaping my sub ohm set up.I really hope I can use my mod and tank when all this f**king Conora virus is ok.Anyone can advise on my situation,or anyone here can sort of relate to me somehow?
Thanks for reading!

Don't understand your wife doesn't want you to vape or you can't subohm during corona virus what are you talking about ,not making much sense
My wife can accept that I vape beside her if I use a pod with less vapour,she complained less.Whenever I sub ohm,I myself felt sort of guilty as the room might be fogging and she can smell the flavor of my vape also.She is a 2-3 stick a day smoker,not really addicted I guess.When I vape,I use it more often then when I smoke.

I enjoy vaping,it comfort me and relaxes me,but I tend to vape when I got nothing else to do

So..I guess the answer depends on whether you are chain smoking because you have an "oral fixation" or you are nicfit. I myself like to pull even if don't need it.

"Oral fixation" is just habituated behavior so mindful behavior changes if it bothers you. No great way to fix that. I personally don't plan on working on mine lol.

If it's not that..nicotine level may not be enough for you and you keep pulling to get you there. Less clouds can be achieved with lower temp or watt. Fully open valve makes more noise than partly closed. Closing the valve some creates higher temp, bigger clouds, higher nic hit, and shorter coil life so then you have to combat that with lower watt/temp and keep an eye on nic feelings so you aren't overdoing the hit. You also can get a higher nic salt or add nic salt to your juice. If you add nic salt please talk to a vape store so you don't end up like the dude in AZ who took 120mg of nic and died.

I just enjoying vaping too much as of now...maybe the enthusiasm will lessen in the future.Nicotine is for me a good chemical to use

Two Words: air purifier (and if possible and you can crack a door or window, fan. Either should help, both together should eliminate the problem.

I am not sure if you are allowed to be outside or what country you are in and if you would get shot vaping without a mask, well, don't do that. Otherwise good luck!

OKC, OK
Not sure if you have the option, but I would go outside. When I smoked, I smoked outside, now that I vape, I vape outside. Wife also smoked outside, finally got her to start vaping, and for the most part she vapes outside. When I'm at work or anywhere else that has a smoking area, that's where I vape. Still have all the old smoking friends that way!! And some of them vape too now!! I have a couple of friends who smoke in their homes, when we visit, they still tease me because I'll go outside to vape. I did the same when I smoked too.

Same here. No clouds allowed indoors except in my dedicated room.

I usually go to balcony or outside.
So you took vape break?
I think it’s reasonable for me to take vape break instead of sneaking myself in a place where nobody and I vaped.I work long hours,but I vape like constantly,6mg sub ohm

I did/do not take vape breaks. I used snus instead. In part because I did not want anyone to know I was a vaper. I would probably do that at any new job. It's just... I don't believe for one, that I could "take a vape break now and then" and also it's just easier to have clear demarkations home/work.

The husband coulda asked me to vape outside. But then I would have had to insist he quit smoking so we could BOTH vape outside. LOL.

That's what I do (and did when I smoked) My wife and I always smoked outside. When I quit and vaped, she still said to go outside. Not sure of your living situation, but we have backyard/porch and I like the outdoors... I do understand that some people live in big apartment buildings with no outdoor space. If that is the situation (and you can't go outside) just crack a window open (maybe a small fan blowing out ) and vape your happy azz away. Does she go outside to smoke?
I might be missing something but many people say they can't go outside (maybe medical issues... bad knee, leg, ect) but if you are just saying you can't take a break and vape then I will remind you that most jobs only give you a 15 minute break every 2 hours (and half-hour lunch break) I understand you work hard (and long hours) but I wish I could tell my boss (I vape like constantly...) Boss might say something like "well, you can clock out and vape all you want... but don't come back" Is it legal to vape where you are at? If not, I do understand and feel for you.

No problems at my house. I quit first after vaping for a new months. My wife quit soon after and didn't care for vaping. Both of us don't smoke and she seldom complains about my unflavored 70PG/30VG vape. If I add a flavor she notices and comments about whether it smells funny, but doesn't complain.

10W vapes aren't that annoying. The 70pg vapor disappears in a few seconds.

IDK sell em, PIF em whatnot. That was what I did when entering all the competitions there for a while and a lot of kits just had DL tanks. Worst case I would drop them off a the VA. I don't think you are in the US though right?

Some stuff, I like t think I would vape even if all my other gear was gone but it won't be, and I probably wouldn't. I had crazy luck in competitions but I was not busy then. Now, I am and am not but it's chill for me, so much stuff its pods and whatnot. Got no use for em, I'd rather someone else won them.

My favorite wins are my MPV 5 (that's something I would have been unlikely to buy) and my Eleaf Invoke which is lovely and I bought 8 more for the vacopalypse . That is an underappreciated mod. It is as small and light as many one battery mods, it works like a champ and it doesn't quit. I used mine for 3 plus years I think then retired it but could easily press it back into service I think. Etc. I mighta gotten a couple of solos but you cannot go back like that I do not think. Heh. The Invoke should have had more popularity I think.

My wife...she complained l...she can smell the flavor of my vape.

She is a 2-3 stick a day smoker

Her cigarettes stink worse than just about anything on this planet and certainly 100X more than any vapor. And they are very harmful to both you and her.

I think maybe your wife might be one of those smokers that likes to complain about vapers. I have met many of them, many even told me vaping was bad for me lololololololololololololol That's one reason why I do not vape around smokers, but the main reason is that they stink.

Maybe look to get an annulment?

This is how I handled the husband's smoking. First I decided anyone near and dear to my heart, I would sanction them for smoking NEVER. Also, I smoke so much for so many years and I'm sure I smelled DISGUSTING.

So I made the conscious decision I was not gonna go 'Ewww" at him and in a way I'm lucky my dad smoked (on the down low, enlisting me in lying to my mom) but for that reason I find the smell of stale smoke to be vaguely comforting. I have ALWAYS and I think will ALWAYS like the smell of fresh smoke. Going to Tucson when I was super sick, the husband kept apologizing and I was like no, it's great smoke more!!

Also, when stressed I have been known to grab the husband with stale smoke and take a DEEP inhale on him somewhere. It's pretty weird because on strangers who smoke a lot, stale smoke is vaguely disgusting at times.

The husband puts up with my clouds at times and does not complain.

Course, if both of us did not have a high tolerance for each other, we would not be approaching anniversary number 17! So, it's all good.

But yeah I had to decide what I loved more the husband or cigarette smoke luckily I have a mostly high tolerance for cigarettes smoke generally.

I don't think it's ever gonna go away because that whole time I was preggo and nursing I LOVED le cigarette smoke.

To be fair, the whole "conscious decision" helped, I think.
