thanks all
yeah my worker has said anything since that day but im sure he gets ...... and sometimes gives little looks..
I don't vape around my family anymore but unfortunately my hamster is in my room where my pc, game systems, weight set, and guitars are so, I really don't have any other room to go to and its getting cold out, one of the reasons why I wanted to quit smoking, sick of 23 years of going outside

I honestly do not think you and your furry little friend have anything to worry about. I have 5 dogs, 3 cats and 2 birds. Here part of a study that was done in 2013. I have also read many other sites that eased my mind regarding vaping around family and animals. This study stated:
A January 2013 report by Action on Smoking and Health (ASH) talked about the second-hand vapour from e-cigarettes, and said, "Although e-cigarettes do not produce smoke, users exhale a smoke-like vapour which consists largely of water. Any health risks of second-hand exposure to propylene glycol vapour are likely to be limited to irritation of the throat. One study exposed animals to propylene glycol for 12 to 18 months, at doses 50 to 700 times the level the animal could absorb through inhalation. Compared to animals living in normal room atmosphere, no localised or generalised irritation was found and kidney, liver, spleen and bone marrow were all found to be normal
Good luck to you and happy vaping.

I have multiple friends who's Mom's say it gives them headaches, a reason to make them feel bad about vaping in the house? Probably. When my dog (miniature wiener dog) is begging for food I'll blow a big ole' cloud towards him and he goes nuts licking the air. I can't imagine it could possibly be any worse for him then it is for me.
I've found certain juices have more odor than others. Some my husband smells, others don't bother him at all. My dog, who used to leave my lap when I smoked an analog, stays right there during a vape. I've seen no credible science that 'second hand VAPE' is harmful, except from the anti-vapists...
The only critters I've heard of who have an issue are cats, who can't *ingest* PG, it causes a type of feline anemia. I doubt if the vapor in the air would be a problem, as long as there is reasonable ventilation -- but I don't blow vapor *at* my cat, to be on the safe side -- if it lingers in the air, she likes to "pounce" on it, which is quite entertaining to watch. 
I do know she finds my right hand far more lickable than when I was a smoker -- she wouldn't let my right hand get NEAR her, when it stank of stale cigarettes all the time. I've heard nothing regarding its effect on rodents, which probably means it's safe; the animals in that test from the 40's were monkeys, I think, and it was harmless to them.
As for people... there are allergies, and there are chronic whiners; sometimes it can be hard to figure out if a person has a real allergy, or just likes to hear himself complain, so he can control other people or just make them as miserable as their own tiny mind. Kids can be difficult, because they have very sensitive noses, but it might just be a matter of finding a smell the child doesn't object to -- and of educating the child that the world does not in fact revolve around him, and that vaping, unlike smoking, won't kill you or injure the child.
I was at my folks' house today; both former smokers, but neither has smoked in over 10 yrs -- and my mom has COPD. I sat at their kitchen table with them while they ate breakfast, and I vaped away quite happily, while they ate, also quite happily. I even asked them if they'd rather I left the table, and they both said "no, sit right there; it doesn't smell like much of anything" -- and I know for a fact that my mom would never let anyone sit at her table and SMOKE while she ate, even when she was a smoker.

I don't Vape while my kid is around. It's not that I'm afraid of it harming him, I don't want him to think my Vape is a toy.
I am also VERY careful about filling and cleaning my tank. Ingesting the juice can be very harmful so I make sure I clean up my area and wash my hands. I also do it on the kitchen counter where he can't reach.
I would never Vape in a store or restaurant. To me a bar is a bit different but I always ask first.
When I was a smoker, smoke irritated me a lot. Now that I Vape, vapor irritates me. There are some smells I just do not like. IMO it can still be mildly offensive.

I saw a video from rip trippers about this subject and he says yes, the exhale from nicotine and pg can affect others
not sure but I don't want to harm my hamster, wife, or daughter until it is completely proven especially since now I use cloud chasing rda's and mech mod dual coil setups, right now they said they can smell it, not sure about being harmful yet but why take a risk?
so im gonna have to tough it out and go outside like I used to smoke cigs
by the way, I made a post about vaping making your clothes smell and yes it does with certain flavors, mt baker vapor's maple French toast which I love made my shirt reek of maple syrup lol

Speaking of smell - my wife has been noting how nice I smell when we get under the covers.
Just sayin.

See some people don't need to have something happen to them they just need to think its happening to have a reaction.
Some people could see you vaping and their only reference maybe someone smoking so their mind can make them feel like they are next to a smoker.

true but when they see the amount of vapor come out and the thing im holding (mech mod) they will know its not a cig
I like when I use this thing out in public and in my car at a red light and people look like ...? lol

Some people do have allergic reactions to PG. Then again some people like to complain....
Your co-worker has as much of a right to breathe poorly filtered germ infested recirculated air without your vapor tainting it... /s
Stealthily find out if he hangs out anywhere that uses a fog machine and if that affects him..... that will give you some sort of indication.

Gosh I hope it's not bad for animals. As opposed to running when cigarette smoke came my dogs way, with the pleasant ecig vapor he sticks his nose up now to sniff the flavor. Also, if we are to believed what is said that vaping is not exposing others to "2nd hand poison" than that is true to the 4 legged variety too.
I know my GF loves the smell of most of my vapes, especially the deserts. We went on a long road trip to her uncles house and I vaped the whole way with the window cracked just because I don't want to hot box the truck lol. When we got there she was so happy her truck smelled like Watermelon and Honeydew. Her family was like WOW what air freshener are you using?
On the flip side I was really into Coffee Flavors for a while and she absolutely hated the smell of the vape. I just went outside until those bottles were gone and simply went to more of the Gourmet vapes lol.

oh I resigned from that job and start my new one this Monday so, but he stopped complaining probably because I didn't use the mech mod at my desk, he only had a problem with that since I use cloud chasing juice and an rda but he did complain about 2 flavors but those I understood and stopped, my family complained too
halo twisted java and mt baker vapor maple French toast, I like them both a lot but they do stink up the place
