Well, folks. That's the only study I need.

[tamarahvt]

My 21 year old daughter is sensitive to freakin' everything. Analog smoke just about made her head explode but scented candles, air fresheners and perfume would do the same. The poor girl can't even find a dish soap that won't make her skin break out in a rash.

What's this have to do with anything?

Just out of curiosity, yesterday we decided to see if "second hand vapor" would bother her. Nope. Not even the teensiest bit. I engulfed her in a veritable cloud and her only response was,"Hmmmm...the faintest of minty odors". Not so much as a sniffle.

So, I don't care what the so-called "experts" say or don't say on the subject. If it can pass her test it's as safe as kittens.
Well, sleeping kittens. Not the bitey scratchy playful types.

Have a great weekend, everybody!

Sounds like you have the ultimate test subject for sensitivity! Thanks for the test report.

Welcome to ECF!

Thanks!
GA, huh? I'm guessing the weather is a bit more pleasant in your neck of the woods than in mine right now.

Sometimes the simplest things work the best!

Yeah my son is the same way and so am I and it doesn't bother either one of us.It probably helps with the vapor.I hope....

 

[GrammaCool]

Glad to hear your daughter can tolerate the vapor; makes me feel better about doing it. Loved the kitten line! Hope you are doing well on your vaping!

My daughter has asthma and can't handle cigarette smoke, air fresheners, cleaning products, etc. She's never had a single problem with the vapor from my ecig either.

That's great, my cat is the same. (Don't judge me) He seems to enjoy the vape I blow.

 

[spaceballsrules]

Out of curiosity, what was the PG/VG and nic of the juice you were using?

 

[Vchick]

Good to hear!

Please don't let that kittie near anything with nicotine on it......it appears to be ready to lick your drip tip, that's not good

Just this afternoon, vaping away at the park, my daughter walked through a cloud of vapour, and all she had to say was "Hmm, Vanilla!"

 

[tamarahvt]

Don't know the PG/VG, just that it's a mixture (the site I ordered it from didn't specify the ratio) and it's 20mg nic.

One of my 4 cats, when still a kitten, once put 21 holes in my hand in about 0.9 seconds. Though, he's really cute when he's sleeping...

Anyway, they would squint and move away from me when I smoked around them. There were a couple of times that I blew vapor near them after starting to vape, and they would cringe and squint momentarily, then relax and sniff the air.

They seem completely indifferent to it, now.

On the smoking cessation / FDA approved forums, I've seen reports like "I never thought anything could smell worse than the cigarette smoke, yet these electronic ones do! I passed by one of them the other day, and it was stomach churning. These new death sticks need to be banned ASAP".

I have a cat story too.

My cat had a bad habit of jumping up on my lap just as I was lighting up a smoke. I tried to keep the smoke away from him but he would catch a whiff, cringe and take off. Now with my PV he stays on my lap even, licks his lips sometimes when catching a whiff (have not blow it directly at him yet).

Oh! also stealth vaped in the back seat on a 2 hr road trip with my parents and nobody was the wiser

Great to hear that more than one person is benefitting from one e-cigarette. Congrats, and welcome!

As for cats, mine has never smelled direct or indirect cigarette smoke, but likes to paw, chase and take a good sniff of my vape rings.

Okay, so I'm super cynical but that sounds like a plant from the opposition to me.

No worries he didn't lick it

Ironically, you'll get 1000x the toxins just standing at a bus stop lol. This was probably written by one of those women who shower in perfume which I find offensive. However, bottom line is, it doesn't matter if you don't like the smell if it's not dangerous.

The tobacco smell went away with the tobacco cigarettes, but if people are picking up on the faint smells of vapor, I need to be careful. My go-to is my own blend that includes a "splash" of bourbon flavor! I do not need someone to come around the corner of my desk after a stealth vape and say, "hm, bourbon."
