My elderly mother is the one who is using e-cigarettes and I have three flavors: Tribeca, Prime15 and Torque56
She cannot distinguish between the three, so I am looking more for our comfort.
All in our family are non smokers.

Which of all the 12 tobacco flavors, have the least tobacco odor when vaped?
We don't have much of an issue at home, but when driving, we can certainly smell the juices as she vapes.

Since all Mom requests is a tobacco taste and can't discern between the flavors, I thought that, going forward, I could get something less instrusive for the rest of us. It is wonderful that it is not real cigarettes. The e-cigarettes are a god send.

Thank you.

The Midnight Apple, HX3 and Voodoo... all are listed as "tobacco flavors", and do not smell of tobacco when you get a whiff of the vape.....

BUT!!! they dont really taste like tobacco either. ( I dont really consider Tribeca to taste like a tobacco either, nor smell like one, do you and your family really find the smell of tribecca offensive??)

the Midnight Apple and Voodoo are very sweet.. to taste compared to a tobacco.

The HX3, is a menthol/tobacco hybrid with a bit of a menthol and sweetness to it.

So while these will satisfy what your family wants, for odors in the car... they may not satisfy what your mom wants.

Now.. something to consider, and I have some experience with this, since I have cared for 2 different grandparents as Alzheimers ravaged their mental facilities. They could tell you what they liked, but they had no idea when you switched it on them. They sort of knew what they liked from before, but if you gave them something else, and told them it was what they were expecting, they often didnt notice. Yes it is a bit of a dirty trick, but there is a lot of documentation that the eldery lose a lot of their sense of taste and smell as they get old, plus with dementia... and especially alzheimers this is even worse.

SO.... maybe consider getting Voodoo or Midnight Apple, or even one of the sweet flavors, from the other lines. Just stay away from Tiki.. Tiki has a way of making everything around it smelling spicy for awhile.

Oh that's just the resident goat here at the Halon House, he's overdue for his bath.

Dave? You been rolling around in the yard again?
Off to the shower you go buddy..........one of the wimenz will be right with ya, ok?


Seriously, on topic now.
Many of the non vaping crowd I'm around have indicated that Tribeca has a lightly sweet aroma with no tobacco smell. A few women have said they smell faint cotton candy or mild caramel aroma. This is when it is vaped from a standard style ecig not a high power dripper or mod type devise.
