I was wondering this because my Smoke shop has a drive through. When they open their little window a sweet smelling breeze blows right into my car. In fact I saw one of the salespeople blow a big cloud while I was sitting there. Shortly after is when I bought my Topbox.
They are all probably vaping, and in a enclosed area, not surprised that you would get a sudden burst of smells with a smoke shop opening a window.

How cool to have a drive thru. :)

I love the stalks the best too! Whenever I cook broccoli I save them and end up nibbling them raw like a rabbit.

Can't say anyone has commented about me smelling of anything much (lately). Also, I highly doubt you are going to get a liquor flavor that tastes/smells enough like the actual drink for a cop to give you a field sobriety test if you fog up your car (which isn't recommended anyway, as it's good to see to drive). I have a brandy flavor that tastes fairly similar although less sweet and no one has ever commented about brandy on my breath.

I just stunk period, when I was smoking. My clothes, my car, my everything, I don't know now that I'm smoke free how non-smokers put up with me. My coworkers must be super tolerant. I was intensely focused on using hand sanitizer until someone reported me to my boss for "smelling like alcohol" and thought I was drunk on the job. (I was kind of insulted, if I were drinking, I wouldn't be going to work, period, LOL). I was able to connect it to the hand sanitizer but it was kind of a tense moment. I switched to another hand cleaner, then people were complaining about "perfumes."

LOL, my boss's solution was to quietly have hand sanitizers installed everywhere so no one could complain of "hand sanitizer" smells, she's a genius :) To be fair, I do make them a ton of money in billing, and my boss's mom died of lung cancer due to smoking, so she was sympathetic. She's going to be so excited! :)

I think the Old Spice solution is that it's a heavily scented product. Both my kid and husband use it, and it reeekkkks. Not necessarily in a Bad Way but it would definitely mask most vape output I would think. :)

True, some vapes smell better than others or stronger than others. But, the smell of cigarettes was why I was so eager to try vaping in the first place. I happened to be looking for a job at the time I started vaping and was certain that the smell of cigarettes was interfering with me getting a job.

My grandmother used to like to guess what flavor I was vaping based on the smell. She used to have me blow vapor at her so she could guess. She thought vaping smelled good!

I really miss my grandmother. I used to take her shopping when she got too old to drive. It was really cool when I would take her to the grocery store on days that I was baby sitting my grandson. Generations 1, 3, and 5 standing in line together in the grocery store.

I live with my mom who's a non smoker (always has been) we both don't notice the smell and can't smell it unless we do when i exhale and it doesn't last long so i doubt. I also very much doubt an officer would pass the test on you because you vape pina colada xD though i'd love to hear the story if it does happen :p

That's a great solution! :) It's always good to have an explanation for any smells.... Though I think when I started vaping more at work my coworkers were like, "Let the woman vape, she smells WORSE otherwise." So true, though I was minimizing clouds and all that. At one point, I had a position where almost every staff member was a vaper, or a non-smoker, and everyone, including the clients, were vaping indoors and quite happy about it. Our secretary would alert us to "approaching HR/Head of Program" though honestly I think they all knew.... They didn't want to replace their entire staff since that program billed the most and made the Health Dept the most money... It was kind of fun, and had I not been dual using, it may have been even more fun.

One of the benefits of working for a Sovereign Nation, they're a bit more lax on everything usually. Vaping indoors is not a fireable offense.... The first time, anyway. But hardly any vapers follow that rule and as long as you are considerate, no one cares. The smell if you aren't chain vaping is pretty close to a candle, IMO, only it dissipates more quickly.
