vaping make your clothes smell?

[EvilGenius]

ive noticed my clothes now smell like my vapor and the zip lock bag I keep all my juices in which are individually sealed inside bubble wrap bags stink up the closet I keep them in

anyone else have this problem? its a problem to me because the smells are so great and the only smell I do smell is sweet fruit but a weird smell

time to use the febreeze I guess

Um, I have around 40 bottles of liquid in the room with me for testing and I don't really smell much of anything when I come into the room, only when I've maybe had bottles open for steeping. I'm wondering where your eliquids came from, or whether you have a superpower.

 

[Katmar]

No, I don't notice it, but, of course, I didn't notice the smell of cigs, either, til after I quit!

 

[nynvolt]

Never noticed it on my clothes. I only smelled it once in my house because I forgot something and turned right around. Smelled faintly of candy.

I'm sort of a closet vaper. Not many people knew I dipped and same goes for the vaping. No one has ever hit me up for my place, car or self smelling like sweet cereal or candy.

I do notice my box of flavorings is rather strong, but never my clothes, or car, or house for that matter. I vote for you having a superpower, lol.

I don't notice any lingering smells anywhere. My wife quit smoking years ago and never smells anything unless she walks in after I had just vaped and she just asks if I just vapes because she can smell a slight maple in the air. But nothing after a few minutes.

I've definitely never been able to smell different flavors on my clothes or anywhere. I vape all day in my house and I never smell it. Even when I go out and come back home I don't smell anything. I wonder if it's the flavoring in those juices you're using or something.

I definitely can notice a scent that lingers when I wear my khaki's while vaping. I don't find the smell pleasant or unpleasant but there is a lingering odor. I don't notice any smell residue on my shirts or other items of clothing so maybe it is dependent on the fabric?

 

[WeirdWillie]

Not on my clothes, however I have smelled it in my pickup from time to time when I first turn on the AC or heat
LOL also noticed I have to clean the inside of my windows in my truck more often too.

I haven't had any issues with odors on my clothing.

Whatever the smell is, it's it has to be much more pleasant than the odor of them dang old stinkies.

People definitely have varying senses of smell, usually with fancier smells, like, pheromones n such.
That said, despite common feelings on the matter, I personally never hated cig smell on things (satanic as that is). While I do not notice much ecig flavor smell in my house I can snooze with a tobacco flavor cigalike in my chest pocket and wake up completely inundated with the smell of the stuff. I like the smell fine, but it is strong but lingers with me for only an hour or two. (I suspect, in this case, body heat mixed with personal odor plus flavors equals an interesting musk indeed)
Yep, this works too if I have fruit flavors in my pocket for too long also, but those actually put me off more to smell on myself than tobacco flavors.

I puff around my friends, many who notice the different "smore-like" or other flavor smells, but they are quick to point out that the ecigs smells are all way better than burning cigarettes...

Hey, to each their own, at least we can all agree that ecigs have added a wild variety of flavors and smells to everyone's lives - variety is a plus.

Different flavors behave differently.
So far I have found two most offending flavors: raspberry and "smoked prune and tobacco". Room where I prepared my juice (DIY) with these flavors smelled pretty strong for a while. I avoid smelly juices.

 

[Warpigs]

I have never noticed any smell on my clothes or were I keep my liquids, unless I have bottle(s) open and steeping. I may get a slight hint of the smell.

When I first started, I found the smell of ejuice rather off-putting. I think it's partly the smell of the nicotine, but yeah, some flavors have a stronger smell. I have one flavor (pure flavor, not ejuice) that smells so bad to me, I have to keep the little bottle in its own ziplock in the drawer or I don't like opening the drawer.

The best I can offer is, you'll get used to it, for the most part, and your tastes will change, the longer you're off cigarettes, which will probably mean that over time, you'll have a whole new set of ejuices in different flavors, which will probably smell differently -- and after getting the smoke out of your nose for long enough, you'll perceive them differently too.

Interesting comment on the khakis; may I ask, what PG/VG ratio do you vape, and is there a go-to flavor you are using when you notice it?

 

[OlderNDirt]

I have been vaping for 6 months in the house, in the car, and constantly in my man cave. I asked my wife, odor queen of the Midwest, and she swears she only smells anything upon exhale and a short bit after. Unfortunately, she isn't allowed in my man cave and can't give an opinion on that.

 

[SweeneyTodd79]

To be honest, the fact you're putting each bottle in a bag, in a bag, and then someplace else....

You may be concentrating the little bit of spillage or off-gassed liquid. When it collects in an enclosed space it increases the parts per million to the point that you are smelling them.

As for your clothes, if there is a sheen of residue on your bottles, no matter how thin, it might transfer to your pocket, especially if you're carrying a bottle for a dripper, or stow a mod about your person that has a slight leak.

Otherwise, yay for your supersnoot?

 

[2naphish]

never on my clothes but when i kept my liquid in my desk drawer every time i opened it it smelled just like walking into the first vape shop i went to. now i use bigger glass bottles for everything and never smell it unless i am using it.

 

[Kevlar112]

In my experience, clothes don't really pick up the smell of whatever you're vaping. And that almost makes me a bit sad.
On the weekends I usually drive home by train, and I've gotten my fair share of great reactions about how awesome my vapor smells when I'm vaping while waiting for the train.

Anything is better than ciggy smoke. I can't believe I smelled like that.
