Key Takeaways: Does Vaping leave a smell?

  • Odor produced by vaporizing is generally only 20% of the scent produced by smoking
  • Vaporization, unlike combustion methods, keeps the majority of the vapor either inside of the device or in your mouth and lungs when you draw, so that not only does it smell less, but also less of the product is out in the air making a smell to begin with.

Vaping will free you from that stale smell that smoking cigarettes leave behind. However, vaping isn't odourless, but the scent won't hang around and you'll probably find the occasional whiff of vanilla custard, or whatever you're filling your tank with, pretty nice anyway.
