It takes about 2 weeks to notice any difference in smell, taste, and breathing.
I am used to dealing with social rejection of smoking, having smoked for a long time. I changed to vaping in the last six months. Drinking at a friend's place a couple of weeks ago, it was the first time he had seen me do it rather than cigarettes. He smokes and gave me an increasing load of ribbing about vaping as the night and alcohol went on. The thoughts of others don't bother me, but the need to rebuff his taunts throughout the night did start to wear thin.
Watching Mare Of Eastown over the last few weeks, vaping was what Kate Winslet was referring to when she said she was going to have a smoke. I wouldn't want this taken as an endorsement of vaping, but hopefully visibility such as this will ultimately remove the need to respond to both smokers and non-smokers.
I think that it's safe to say that many smokers of analog cigs have bad breath, for obvious reasons.
But what about from vaping?
I've only been doing this for around a month, and it's kind of hard for me to notice my own breath, but I obviously don't smell like an ashtray anymore.
Does a vaper's breath smell like the flavor that they're vaping all day, or would you say that vaping has little or no affect on a person's breath?
I realize that something like this varies from person to person, but I'm just asking in a general sort of way, for the average person.
Does vaping menthol give you better breath, like if somebody ate a lifesavers or a tic tac?
I need help asap. I am in tears as I just don't know what to do. I keep getting this awful taste from vaping, it's sort of in my nose as well, it's a chemical horrid acrid taste, I have changed oils, tried different company's. I have renewed the oil barrel (cleartomizer?) sorry not down with the lingo. I have tried about 4 new ones. I am at a loss. I know I may have vapour fatigue, as I can hardly taste any of my old flavours, however why am I tasting a horrible taste? I can understand not tasting anything, but can't understand why everything tastes horrible. I have been vaping for 9 weeks after smoking for 25 years, I was getting on great guns really enjoying it, now I am in tears as I just don't want to start smoking again, but I can't stand the taste I am getting. At the moment I am vaping a mint one as it's the only one that covers up the horrible taste. But not completely. I usually vape sweet stuff, like caramel, blueberry, Amaretto. Help please.
At my job, some times i have to spend time in close proximity, with people who still smoke analogs. And the analog smoke that they carry on them is plain offensive.
I just want to run in the apposite direction, so the smell (smoke BO) doesnt get on me.
Wish i could tell them to take anti radioactive bath before they interact with the rest of the none smokers in public.
I cant believe thats how i used to smell for so many years. If i knew this 10 years ago, i would have quit smoking 10 years ago.
The smell is is just efin toxic!!
end rant.
Non-smokers just don't understand the difference between smoke and exhaled vapour - a cigarette gives off smoke even when you put it down between puffs, all anyone else gets from an ecig has already been filtered by your lungs.
Its easy to see how non-smokers may see a a plume of vapour as just as much an invasion into their space as cigarette smoke though.
How long before vaping is as restricted as smoking?!!!
They hate it because they've noticed it - and less of them would notice if it wasn't for the cloud chasers.
Does old coils have any negative affects?
I typically burn off the gunk on the coils and put it through a good rinse then change my wick every few days. This was especially true when I'm using standard kanthal on the Protank.
I recently switched to a Solomon 3 using claptons. I find that there is very little gunk on the coils, I still burn off what I can before replacing the wick. I usually change the coil every week and one wick in between. On this one however, I'm 2 weeks on on the same coil and had only replace my wick once using the same liquids that I normally use on the Protank.
What I notice is the vape isn't as smooth as if I were to put in a fresh coil. I think I just answered my own question but what do you guys have to say about it?
I am enjoying vaping soooooooooooooooo much..
I know most of people here are veterans and won't be Soo excited ofc anymore
But man....my first attempt on vaping was in 2014 and for many reasons didn't go well and I was back to cigs...ew
Anyways... now it's being 4.5 months vaping
I started with a drop in coils atomizer and now I use rebuildable also and make my my own e juice ofc and blah blah.blah....
Vaping is soooooo good.....never going back to cigs eeeeeever....actually cigs seem sooo bad now and I hat a hit to remind me what a nasty thing I was smoking all those years....ew
The benefits of vaping are more that u think and u only realise when u start it...
Besides health benefits...that ok some may say vaping is now sooo risk free but I don't care even if was same bad as cigs...even tho I am sure it's not
My sense of taste and smell is much better now....
I can adjust my nicontine levels and lower it and now I have less cravings...(I was crazy smoker)
My hands or facial hair don't smell and they don't get a yellow colour from cig smoke that I had to pull off my skin to remove ...(I was always with a cig on my hand)
Clothes don't smell and I don't feel bad to hug my niece now
My car don't smell cigs....my kitchen don't smell cigs...(I used to smoke to kitchen)
My mouth hygiene and gums is better now confirmed by dentist also...already only 4.5months vaping!!!
I sleep better and wake up better no cough or hard breathing...
In my case I used to skip brushing my teeth sometimes cause in my opinion it would ruin my smoking experience but with vaping I tend to want to brush my teeth after every meal if I can cause I enjoy vaping taste more
I still drink coffee but water is a great match with vaping for me cause it reset the flavour in mouth so I drink less coffees and beverages...
with cigs I was always drinking loooot of coffee or some kind of beverage usually unhealthy cause it used to match with horrible taste of burned paper and tobacco lol
If I needed my nicotine I used to roll a cig and then I was smoking it all ofc...even tho I wanted just a few puffs...with vaping I can take my puff aaaanytime I want as much as I want...
The cost is less even tho some may spend a looooooooooot money hhahaha but if u are a casual vaper is cheaper ....but even if was the same or more still worth it....
P.s I know I don't say anything people here don't already know but just happy excited about vaping and sharing it
Ive always vaped juices with 3mg Nic and have never been bothered by the taste of it. Now, a couple of weeks ago i quit smoking cigarettes and picked up my vapes again and orderes some new juices as well.
the problem is I get a strong and "peppery" taste of the nicotine and it feel like im vaping like 9mg juices. It really bothers me since I dont get the most flavour out of my juices.
Has someone experienced the same thing? what is going on? i bought 4 differens e-juices and there regular nic in 2 of them and salt nic-shots (for shortfills) in the other 2. they all taste the same in regards to that awful taste.
lets face it, im addicted to nicotine. i will eventually start vaping 0mg but if i do that right now, im afraid i will go back to the cancer-sticks
Just thought I would go ahead and leave this here for the antz to see... perhaps counteract things.... now that I found out that they actually are releasing information that they've picked up from forums... I'm not at all shocked about the health improvement in fact I knew that was happening and that was a good 90% of why I decided to switch. I just thought I should put it in the same format as individuals with toenail fungus and hickeys that think it might be Vape related
Hello everyone. I am new to the forum but I have read a few more topics before having to create an account and explain my problem in detail. I own a Geekvape Aegis Mini TC 80W (with the Cerberus tank) and I'm using a 50% / 50% e-liquid, with chocolate, coconut and oats from Nebula. I have owned it for about 2 weeks now. I've been using a .3 ohms coil in these weeks, and I've been really good, except for the last 2 days, I've burned the coil slightly and I don't like the taste anymore, so I decided to switch to the other .2 ohms that I've bought a couple of days ago, so I primed the coil by putting 4 drips in each cotton hole + 2 or 3 drips in the center cotton (it's a mesh coil). I forgot to say that I vape mainly from 30-40watts but it's fine even from 25-42W, I'll never go over it because only the noise scares me. Yes, I know, it's weird. Anyway, my problem is that after switching to a .2ohms coil (it's been about 30 minutes) at 30watts the taste is yucky, totally different, I wouldn't say burnt but not good, plus the noise is like it's muffled, yeah , I opened the holes, if I go over 30 watts the noise gets slightly louder but the taste worse. I would just like to know if I have to leave it overnight to let the liquid absorb well or change the coil directly because it is faulty (I have another 5 of .2ohms but no other so I can't go back to .3ohms)
So, is this normal?
