If it's okay to release a green cloud of crappy brown stench in a shared/public restroom, what's the beef with the sweet scent of a little vanilla cream or cinnamon danish or strawberry floof?

Anybody says anything about me vaping (stealth, as a courtesy, of course) in a public restroom, I'd love to have the opportunity to drop trow and plop a deuce right in their shoe.

"How's that smell, now?"

I totally agree. This makes 100% sense.

Personally, I can think of much more offensive odors to leave the bathroom smelling like. :D

If you want to have a little fun, there's a air (un)freshener spray call 'Liquid As$' you can buy. A quick spritz of it will have folks avoiding the bathroom for hours. Trust me. I may be an adult, but I don't always act like one.

You can smell a little vape odor for a few minutes after vaping. The majority of the vapor dissipates in about 10 seconds. After a minute (approx) there is almost nothing in the air unless the air is being churned up somehow. An extractor extracts the vapor. a breeze under a door would churn it up and stop it settling on surfaces.
For someone to claim they had physical symptoms related to your activity since we know 2nd hand vapor contains almost nothing is a little far fetched.
If she walked straight into a cubicle immediately after you vaped, she could both smell it and inhale a very small amount of vapor.
To put it as honestly as I can... I suspect she suspects what you do in the washroom and is making a drama out of a highly unlikely problem.

I only vape in washrooms/cubicle that has extractor fans.
I would avoid vaping in a washroom where a man/woman might take a very young child.
I try to delay letting someone into a cubicle or small enclosed washroom for about a minute to be on the safe side.
If I sub-ohm, I make that about 3 minutes! Maybe 4... :eek::D

I appreciate your honestly. And darn, you may be right. It really stinks though. I work hard, do my job as well as I can...I’m not leaving work to sneak a smoke every chance I get. I don’t bother others or worry about what they do. And there are so many worse things I could be doing!!!

I have a similar situation - up and down - and a brother who has allergies. I have to say he rarely complains (even when I smoked analogs) but when does it is usually a new flavor I have tried. I vape constantly in the home and I feel I do enough for everyone and am not going outside to vape. I do try to be considerate and open certain windows for a cross breeze regularly to air out the place for at least 20 minutes a day and buy the airwick air fresheners and have those around the house in a flavor (raspberry) that he likes.

When I smoked I use to place small bowls of white vinegar in the upstairs rooms because that supposedly absorbed smoke smells. I stopped doing that when I started vaping but maybe you can try that. I used to change the bowls every 10 days or so.

Most of my friends are non-smokers and none complained that my home smelled of smoke or vape.

@stara03 - I've stealth vaped several times in airport restrooms while on a fairly quick layover between 2 long flights. Didn't have enough time to go outside and then back through security check again. I always used the last stall next to the end wall. Would stealth vape my Caramel Latte eliquid and blow the vapor down to the floor at the corner of the 2 walls. None went up, so it wasn't visible at all.

A couple comments I've heard from others who happen to be entering the restroom have been: "Gee, this bathroom smells the best of any I've been in." And... "Ooh, someone must've had some really nice smelling deodorizer spray in here." I always had to hold in my giggles when I'd hear the comments.

However, that was before I bought the following item. You can vape and produce no smell and no visible vapor, no matter how big of a cloud you would have blown without using it...if you use a "Smoke Buddy" or a "Smoke Buddy Jr.". I bought 2 of them on a 50% off sale once, and they work exactly as they're supposed to! They're sold out at the vendor below, but I wanted to post it here so you could see it. I'm sure you could Google it and probably find other vendors who sell them and have some in stock.

Not a dumb question-I had no idea either. I can tell you more when I get it but it sounds like you exhale into it and nothing comes comes out the other end. I read the reviews/questions on amazon, and that helped to kinda understand how it works. I’m not sure how long it last but I have a feeling it will be worth every penny!

Thanks. Sounds very worthwhile. Count me in --I am ordering one.

Thank you all for the responses.

YES she is a drama queen. A physical/medical drama queen. She’s often got something wrong with her physically that seems to garner a lot of attention..
Oh and she is gluten free. (That came up in another response...)

All I can picture is one of those insurance fraud schemes where the car is no where near the pedestrian and she comes running and falls on the car and then on the ground.
