Does Vaping Smell

For beginners, one of the questions that they often ask is if vaping emits a harsh odor like traditional cigarettes. It depends on several factors. It can have no odor at all or it may smell like its many different flavors from ice cream and cheesecake to guava and mother’s milk. You will be free from the residual stale smell that smoking leaves on your clothes, furniture, and the entire home. Vaping is not odorless all the time, but its smell does not linger and stick to your clothes and furniture. It may not even be noticeable to other vapers.

Some factors may add to this nasty smell that comes from vaping. One of these is a burnt coil.

This happens when you don’t replace your coil regularly or when you don’t soak the wick before you take your first hit. Failure to soak the wick can burn the coil before you can even use it for real. Be sure to check and clean your coils before you vape.

Ninety-nine percent of the time, the smell of vaping comes from the flavor of the e-liquid. Most of the time the smell is inviting instead of revolting. It may even let you crave pudding or ice cream. When you vape indoors the fog of vapor may linger for a while but not for long. Vapor is less dense than cigarette smoke for as long as within a properly ventilated area.

When you vape cannabis it may be impossible to do so without a certain smell. The kind of smell depends on the kind of cannabis strain you are using. Some strains of weed contain limonene which is found in lemons. That means vaping this strain will give you a citrusy aroma. The scent of marijuana is inevitable, but since you are vaping vapor and not smoke, the smell dissipates fast and won’t stick to your clothes or furnishings at home.

How to Tell if Someone Is Vaping

It may be tricky to find out if someone is vaping inside your home when you rely solely on the smell that surrounds it. As mentioned earlier, a vapor is less dense than smoke, and it dissipates in thin air fast. In a couple of minutes or hours, the smell will be gone.

The most obvious sign that someone in your family is vaping is finding unusual objects that may be useful when vaping. Vaping devices often come with various detachable parts. You may find refillable pods or disposable ones, vape juice or e-juice, coils, atomizers, chargers, and lithium-ion batteries. Some vaping devices have a discrete appearance, looking like benign objects. JUUL for one has become successful in the market due to its USB-looking design, which can be hidden and charged secretly. Some manufacturers are also designing vaping devices that resemble pens, watches, markers, and other more common objects.

Other items that you may find in a home or room of someone who vapes are cotton balls and metallic wires. More likely you will find unbleached, organic cotton balls or super thin metallic coils which are usual components used when vaping.

Often a vaper does not need its usual caffeine fix. As a matter of fact, vaping makes some people more sensitive to caffeine intake. If someone is skipping his or her usual caffeine fix, this may be a sign that they are into vaping.

Both odorless and scented e-juices can be used in electronic cigarettes, but most teens and beginner vapers use the scented variety. The most popular scents are the sweet ones. This means you may notice an unusual sweet smell in your home from time to time.

You have to be familiar with some slang and jargon that relate to vaping. Chances are you will hear them from anyone in your family. These include Mods, Mod life, JUULing, JUUL Life, Vape Gang, Vape Society, Clouds Bro, and Clouds.

Does Vaping Weed Smell

As mentioned earlier, weed has a distinctive, strong smell. Smoking and vaporizing weed will result in a certain smell depending on the terpenes of the chosen strain. This means that from the time the jar is opened, to heating the device, and exhaling the vapor, there will be a distinct odor. Vaping weed, however, is more discrete since these vape pens give off vapor and not smoke. There are many ways to cover and reduce the smell of the e-cig’s vapor too. The strength of the weed’s scent depends on the vaporizer and cannabis plant extract used.

Smoking and vaping weed can both create a smell, but it is stronger and lasts longer when produced from smoking compared to vaping. You can also find some vaping devices in the market that can reduce the aroma, allowing you to vape in peace. A convection vaporizer is an example of this. It gives off a reduced smell of weed compared to the dry herb vaporizer.

When you vape, much of the vape stays inside your mouth or the vaping device. That means there is a reduced amount of cannabis for others to smell.

The more persistent weed smoke may last from a few hours to about a week, and this tends to linger on clothes, furniture, and carpet. Weed vapor can easily dissipate. The smell that comes from vape pens can also be covered up by perfume scents or by lighting a scented candle. It also fades away after 5 to 10 minutes. When you use a dry herb vaporizer, it will take half an hour for the smell to air out. The amount of time needed for a dab pen’s smell to dissipate depends on the wax used. Generally speaking, this will last for 10 minutes. To hasten the dissipation, most people open the windows for more ventilation.

To reduce the weed smell, you may clean the vaporizer and avoid storing weed in your vape pen.

Does Vaping Leave a Smell

People who are thinking of switching to vaping from smoking have one common question to ask and that is if vapor smell is substantially weaker than smoke smell. It’s important to correct first the most common misconception that a vape pen produces smoke when it produces vapor. This alone makes it far different from smoking.

One of the most important benefits that people look for in vaping is its discreetness. You don’t want to bother other people with the smell coming from your vaporizer. Vaporization produces less smell than other methods of combustion. In fact, an odor that comes from vaporizing is 20 percent of the scent that comes from smoking. Vaporizing keeps most of the vapor inside the vaper’s mouth, lungs, or in the device. Only less of the produced smell is out there in the air. When you exhale while vaping, there’s still a smell but it is like overcooked popcorn. It is not close to any overpowering smell that comes from the source of combustion.

Remember that vaporizers don’t burn anything. This means that the smell does not linger and dissipates faster. This is not the case with smoking since smoke is heavier and denser than vapor. That’s why the smell lingers long even when the area has proper ventilation. Smoking produces volatile organic compounds that stay longer in the air. Vaping, on the other hand, only needs a window open for the smell to dissipate into the air after a few minutes. Even when the window is shut, the smell won’t last longer than ten minutes. When you are vaping outdoors, it is not possible for the smell to linger and it is quite difficult to notice.

It’s not surprising that in a recent survey that compares smoking and vaping, 59 percent of respondents stated that their friends and family allowed them to vape even when indoors but prohibited them to smoke.
