Will I still stink?

[LanceD]

My wifes biggest complaint about my smoking is that I smell bad. I ordered a 510 and hope to switch over completely and eventually quit all together.
Will using these make any kind of bad smell on me?

 

[ejoker]

welcome lance.

not at all. there is very little - if any - lingering odor. of course, if you already smell bad ...

 

[Firechief2]

The short answer is--No
one of the very positive advantages of the e-cig

Nope. You will not stink at all. Vapor is mostly odorless and it's not smoke so it doesn't attach to clothes like smoke does. You will be fine.

Good luck on quitting analogs! We're here for you.

No, but everyone else will. I was glad to get my sense of taste back, but my sense of smell I could do without. This planet stinks! Literally....

any tips for a first time 510 user? I haven't got my kit in the mail yet and can't wait to try it. I have been reading the forum alot trying to learn.

Although if you vape some of the stronger fruity flavors you may get complaints that your making people hungry...

check the 'tips and tricks' threads, lots of 510 info in there. new atty prep, filling carts, etc.

That stink she is referring to will be history and as someone already said, everyone else will start to stink to you. You will regain your sense of smell over time and pretty soon you'll be smelling things you haven't really smelled in a long time. And when you start to notice that your own "gas" has an incredible aroma to it, you'll know exactly what I'm talking about.

When I vape French Toast people about 10 yards away wonder where the maple syrup smell is coming from, just depends on what you're vaping.

If you take a shower every now and then.....you should be good to go..

I love not smelling like an ashtray anymore. Your wife will be so happy. Everyone has said that their sense of smell has returned. Its true. I've made more than one apology for subjecting everyone to that stink over the years. You'll actually feel bad for what others had to endure when you walked into a room after smoking! Congrats and good luck in your endeavor!

Don't put too much on yourself to be successful in one day.
Don't worry if you have a couple of smokes a day for a bit - its all good.
Don't worry if you find it hard to get used to at first.

DO draw on the PV differently than with a ciggie - use a longer slower draw.
DO get extra juices from different places (good juices change your experience! For the good!)
DO give yourself time to cut down/give up the ciggies. Rome wasn't built in a day
DO come and ask us questions if you're not sure or things aren't going as planned.
and above all
DO have fun and DON'T stress out!

And to the OP: You wont stink of ciggies you MIGHT stink of...cheesecake or Spiced rum! (whatevr your fave juice happens to be lol - and its not a stink, its like being a human air freshener if its like anything)

Welcome btw.

Right on; the most annoying thing is that I can sense someone else smoking a block away or in a nearby car. Smelling other smokers is becoming repulsive; this will be one of your biggest problems. You will get over it of course, and the benefits of taste and smell restoration is wonderful.

Lance, the lack of stink really is a fantastic benefit to switching over to digital (and health benefits are nice too). I just started vaping and only had a strong inclination to light up a cigarette once so far. I did light it up, took 2 drags and it smelled and tasted horrible so I put it out and threw it away. Best of luck in your efforts; from reading anecdotes in the success stories thread, you might find this to be a smooth transition indeed.

No more smellin like smoke

 

[auTONYmous]

I second the "human air freshener" thing. My kid always asks me to come vape some Menthol in his room, since it smells more like peppermints to the non-vaper.

My wife noticed my morning breath is much better. I've noticed I have less snot/mucous in my throat/nasal passages when I wake up. Those are a couple of other positive side-effects I haven't heard mentioned vs. smoking.

19 years of smoking, stopped in less than 24 hours by vaping.

Welcome to ECF! Your wife will be so very happy that you switched to vaping! Not only for the smell factor but the health factor! In 2 days, my daughter, has said how nice it is that I don't smell like an ashtray anymore! I never realized how bad analogs actually smell. Yesterday, while at the hospital, I went outside to vape, I did sneak a few inside the hospital , but decided to go outside so I didn't have to stealth vape. While outside, a gentleman was smoking and I could smell it from around the corner and it smelled so terrible! You will be much happier and healthier! Good Luck and let us know how it is working for you.

My daughters find that I sometimes smell like cotton candy, when I vape the liquid that I bought here in Holland........it is called " Common" , and it realy tastes like cotton candy, and, so my daughters say, it smells like it too....they like it better than my cigarettes......

Yesterday I was standing in line at the pharmacy. I didn't hear anyone come up behind me but the cig smell on her clothes announced her arrival with the clarity of a kick in the schnoz.
When I got home I realized that she didn't smell any worse than my laundry! Everything got washed last night.
