All of the e-liquids have a smell but most of them except super sweet fruit juices smell pretty good IMO. Some of the super potent fruits smell like car wash air fresheners. None of them linger though for very long, a few minutes at best. Like pastor fuzz said, it is much better than a room full of cancer smoke.

What are you vaping? Not pulling an Elvis with deep fried banana and peanut butter are you?

well, maybe its her. she has been being a REAL bitch about me doing this, not sure why. maybe all her dumbass friends are telling her its bad. and of course, she thinks I am the dumbass. despite all of the evidence I show her otherwise.

but, it could be the caramel frappe I use sometimes. by the way it tastes, I can see it smelling a little funny.

Maybe she was banking on cigarettes killing you and its been derailed with vaping and now she has to go back to poisoning you slowly so as not to arouse suspicion. It could be that or maybe your vape makes her crave caramel frappes which are somewhere in the neighborhood of 1,000 calories a pop.

Anyone who thinks vaping is more dangerous than the leading cause of preventable deaths needs to do some soul searching. Does your missus smoke?

:giggle: yeah, that could be it.

its not soul searching. she is good at believing people that she shouldn't, and not those she should.

she used to, i NEVER EVER EVER thought she would quit. last January, she got that flue that was killing people. went from a bad cold to seeming near death(not kidding) in like 1 hour. ambulance to the ER. I really did thought she could die, I was with her in there.
anyway, after 10 days in the hospital with no smokes are being scared, she quit.

Vapes can stink in the same manner that the perfume that the lady at church(or where ever) who uses too much can stink or the people that use too much essential oils can stink. The smell itself might be fine in small amounts but too much is too much and it does stink.

I'll get away from heavy perfume, essential oils, vapes or even air fresheners if the smell is too strong just as fast as I'd get away from someone that smells like they shit their pants.

Food for thought. It might not be the smell itself that stinks but how much of it there is. In other words, it may be your vaping style around people and not the flavor itself.

yeah, could be that. being new to this, I have been huffing on it a fair bit. but I know not nearly as much as some people.

My wife can literally run me out of the house with her essential oils. And the only time I've ever been in a vape shop, I never went back because of the smell(they had sample juice at the time with people trying them out with cloud chaser builds in RDA's, lol).

Of all the recipes I've vaped, there was one where my wife told me it was intolerable. I just stopped making it. Most of the time she'll say it smells good and asks what it is. See if it's just one or two juices that are offending her, or if it's all of them.

My GF who vapes complains that when I chain vape while we are watching a movie it bothers her nose. She vapes 4 times the Nicotine content but flavorless and tells me my Tobacco Blends smell. Sometimes it could be Vanilla Cream Tobacco or one with Clove and Berries. I never hear any shit in our vehicles since I blow it out the window so not clouding out the vehicle. I haven't found an answer except...............

I've been vaping for a long time and there's only been one juice that I couldn't stand to smell. My buddy used to vape a green tea liquid. That stuff smelled like sweaty socks.

Since I started vaping, no smell reports/

Perhaps since I was smoking CIGARS before I made the switch

My wife hates Custards and most desserts really, she goes through phases of which fruit vape she likes the smell of, If I vape one flavor too long she eventually doesn't like it so I just swap it every once and a while and still vape custards just not as much :D

Custards are the only vape smell I find unpleasant. To me it smells as thick as it tastes, it lingers like nothing else.

If it's only VG and nicotine or menthol and nic people tell me it smells like ****......

When it's a fruity juice..... They tell me it smells nice...... I smell watermelon and it's really banana.......

If the wife says it smells bad, she wants you out of her life..... It's just an excuse to get rid of you .

My brother told me yesterday at TG dinner that Mama J's stunk. I called him a blasphemer and proceeded to fog his kitchen out for the time I was there. He is my little brother. I can do that.

I vape my strawberry & cream 24/7, and most people tell me it smells like a) cotton candy, or b) "something fruity or vanilla" -- they seem to smell the vanilla more than the strawberry, which is really weird since the shisha strawberry is VERY strong, and I use about 14% in the mix. :giggle: But when I first started making this, I didn't realize what a terrible gunk monster it was, and when it would get so gunky than the ejuice turned brown from the coil backwash, my husband would tell me it stank like "burnt shit". Which is why I abandoned my kayfuns and went to strictly RDA; my Achilles has a deep well, 2.5ml, but that's a small enough amount that the gunk doesn't build up too much before I either 1) rinse the coil and wick with plain PG, or 2) dry-burn and re-wick, before refilling, and he doesn't complain now.

However, even though I'm a vaper myself, times when my tummy is out of sorts, I mainly lay off vaping just because it smells a bit sickening to ME -- and now that my son, who lives here, is a vaper, I can tell you that some stuff he vapes is really intolerable to be around, even with "fruity cotton candy" smell all around me!

So I think it's really down to both individual preference, and individual flavors. Find one that you really like that she doesn't complain about, and try to stick with that one anytime she's around. And do try to get some facts in front of her -- such as those from the Royal College of Physicians, in England -- who were several years ahead of the Surgeon General in declaring the dangers of smoking -- and Public Health England; both sources have stated that vaping "cannot exceed 5% of the dangers of smoking, and is probably less". I really doubt if either organization is talking out of its ass.

Or she's just a control freak in desperate need of couples' therapy to learn how to live with another person.

Heh. I've been married 31 yrs (this time!)... and one thing I've learned is that bitching, nagging, and complaining DO NOT WORK, but they do cause a lot of ill feeling with the mate. If there's something he does that I find disagreeable, I've learned that I need to either a) ignore it, or b) sit down and talk to him like my best friend and the grownup that he is, and see if some accommodation can be reached that makes us both happy. If not, see step 1. :D

14% Strawberry Shisha? That would blow the doors off my taste buds.

How about her 86% PG Ratio? To me that would be like vaping Sand Blast Powder or Razor Blades. I find it is better to not listen to those on the fringe.....

Actually, it's currently a bit less than that -- my most recent mix:

Inawera Shisha Strawberry 13.5%
TFA DX Bavarian Cream 4.7%
TFA Vanilla Swirl 3.55%
CAP Sweet Cream 1.4%
Total: 23.15%

And I vape it at 10w or less.... which won't blow the doors off anything. Thank god!

It would take a horrible funk to get me to vape unflavored trying to track down where the funk was coming from.

I got a headache trying to figure that one out Letitia, and Sadie growled at me once just for the heck of it, but I think we get it now :D

Love my fruity vapes.

I'm not giving up my flavors anytime soon either. I don't use enough nic to make unflavored seem like it might work for me anyway. If I did use more I would give it a try though. It does work for a bunch of folks.

Just because I have no desire to vape unflavored doesn’t mean I think it would be horrible, just something I'm not curious enough to try. Sadie was trying to explain that is all. She's a smart girl.

My sister used to vape 36mg tobacco juice, and it stunk to high heaven to me.

Hubbs says my vapes all smell like burnt fudge.

Friend with chronic migraines and very sensitive nose says that Deep Fried Oreo smells like marshmallows. She loves it.

To me it is just tasteless some say it tastes sweet.
