What to do about the smell?

[AtomNeely]

hey guys! I posted recently about ordering a new eGo-t kit from LF recently, and im still awaiting it in the mail (I think it'll be in tomorrow!). I've got some awesome news a a couple questions for ya'll.

Yesterday I was picking up my Girlfriend from work, and while driving home we saw a sign that said "Quit Smoking... Start vaping!" I instantly flipped out, because I saw that it was not only a sign for e-cigs, but also a sign for a c-cig shop right down the street from me! The name is rocknrollvapors.com if you want to check it out.

I think in my last thread I had said something about worrying about finding a local dealer (I live in the 'burbs of Atlanta) because I never wanted to be up a creek when I needed a new Batt really quick or ran out of juice. Lets just say finding about this store was a God send.

After dropping my girl of at our home I went and visited this shop. Its located in a small music store (hence the name) and they stocked all genuine Joye products from the egos to 510s and even some others that I had never seen before. I was very excited. After talking with the owner (who has been vaping for 2 years now) I picked up a Mega 510 Batt, 6 cartos, and a charger for my girlfriend because she wasn't able to afford a kit right away. After vaping it in the car on the way home (to make sure it works ;P) I was in LOVE! The TH and the vapor is so satisfying, almost more than an analog, and being able to drive with the windows up and enjoying my AC was awesome.

When I got home I gave it to my Girlfriend and she fell in love right away. I got her the "Camel Joe Walsh" flavor (RocknRollVapors has some great names for their juices, like John Camp's Melon and Lennon's Lemons) and she reallyed enjoyed it. She has now been analog free since yesterday morning (normally a PAD smoker!). I'm so proud of her, and a bit jealous because mine hasn't come in yet haha.

We were playing with it and her dad was asking questions about it and now he is wanting one, so for a late fathers day present I am going to the store friday with my GF and we are going to get him his own kit. Once my ego comes in im going to see if he likes that more than the 510, and im pretty sure he will.

So so far, before I've even gotten my own PV I've converted 2 people and have gotten some of our neighbors really interested in it! I'm so excited! Thanks ya'll for being such a great community and for creating an environment that i don't have to feel weird for posting such a long drawn out post haha.

Now on to my main question regarding the title of the thread! We have converted our garage (for clarification I rent out a room at my girlfriends house with her parents and i've become very close to them, they are already my in-laws in my book) into a MAN CAVE which is where we play xbox and watch TV and whatnot, but its also where we smoke (not inside the house). As you can probably guess 3 PAD smokers can stink up a room really quickly and once we all start vaping I'm wondering how bad the smell will be. Does anyone have any idea how to help get the smell out? Is there a product or something that can help me out? Thanks in advance! :]

PS! Everyone wish me luck that my eGo comes in tomorrow! I feel like im waiting for santa on christmas eve right now haha.

You can wash wall and everything in the room or do it the easy way and repaint and wash down all furniture and get carpets if any cleaned, bout the best you can do and do it right. Or drown the place in febreeze!
And welcome to the board and congrats on the converts, hope you love it as much as we do.

 

[swedishfish]

That is so great! Boy you are lucky to have a supplier so close by!

About the smell- I did smoke in my house and let me tell you, I've spent the last few months trying to get rid of the smell. As a matter of fact, I've been painting all day. I washed everything, clothes, curtains, everything. Had the rugs shampooed. I'm painting my last room and I have one closet left to paint. Had my car detailed. Had to.

You could try washing things but paint gets the smell out. If I ever go back to smoking I'm going to shoot myself.

I'm slightly confused by your question...are you asking if E-Cig vapor stinks, or are you asking how to get the room clean since all three of you will be able to start really smelling smells in a few weeks after not smoking...?

 

[jj2]

Asking how to get rid of the analog smell after they start vaping and getting there sniffers back.

Check out the website of Aire-MasterofAmerica.com. You should have a franchise close to you. My husband and I have a franchise, but can't sell to anyone in another territory. Even though they sell to businesses mainly, they can sell to a private person. The Blue Lagoon is great in a carpet machine, diluted with water as you can get it concentrated, and it leaves your carpet soft, and your rooms smelling fresh. I use it all the time. You can use it to go into cleaning water for surfaces, walls, and even in the washer. They also have Tropical Breeze deodorant dry spray that is absolutely awesome!!!! These products are deodorizers, not air fresheners. Yeah, I know......the website is rather comical, a skunk in a diaper, but the products work and our clients are spoiled!

Ditto - I'm not sure what the question is. I've been shut up with my sis in her completely-all-windows-closed car and when I vape she says she smells nothing at all from the vapor.

What I can't stand right now is when I return to my own apartment the stench of old cigarette smoke is simply stuck in it. It's gonna be a loooonnng cleaning journey. And painting. And probably throwing some stuff out...

 

[AttyPops]

swedishfish nailed it. Paint. They have paint specifically formulated to seal smoke stains too. Otherwise, it can bleed through. Of course, barring that, you can try washing the walls down with s.pick-n-span type stuff. Some say TSP.

Stooopid filter won't let me type spick-n-span (a product name). I got .... instead. lol. Now it's working after edit.

I once had a guitar case that smelled so bad I could not even bring it into the house. I sprayed the inside with Febreze and it was soon odor free. You may want to spray some of that stuff around. It seems to work wonders.

 

[AtomNeely]

Thanks guys for the tips! I'll have to get some fabreeze and probably some new paint. We don't have any real carpet in here so it shouldn't be to bad.

And yes, just to clarify I was talking about the analog smell, not the vapor.

 

[WomanOfHeart]

Cheap little Renuzit deodorizers worked in what used to be our little "smoke room."

There's a product called Ozium that cruise ships use to remove the smell of smoke from cabins. A testament to how good it works is that Carnival Cruise Lines, for example, doesn't designate smoking and non-smoking cabins, and most cabins don't have fresh air.

You can buy it in automotive stores.

Now that's what I'm talking about. I'll have to search that out, I work around a ton of car stores. Thanks for the top

 

[Darkwitless]

I ditto Ozium. You can find small cans of it in many major retailers car care sections - but for the love of all - don't get the Vanilla scented - you'll never get the smell out of your nose (or room!) and it don't kill the smoke smell. But the "plain" scent (un-scented) worked great in my car and a friend used it in her apartment. She found her's at an office supply store and got an automatic dispenser for it. Apparently they use this stuff in many restaurant and office bathrooms.

Ozium works quite well, but it is really expensive. Try a jar of Ona-Block. It's cheap. Dope growers and coroners (when they find dead people) use it. Leaves your room smelling like a load of fresh laundry. When I quit smoking I bought a number of them, including one for my car. Worked great.

Is it just like a block air freshener that you leave somewhere like under a couch, or is it a spray?

 

[garyinco]

Exactly, leave it under the couch! It's a hard block. Either remove the lid, or drill a couple of holes in the lid for a smaller space (such as a car). This stuff works so well.

Where is Ona-Block sold?
