Vaping does leave a smell in a car but it is not as intense or pungent as the smell of cigarettes. The smell of vaping will dissipate quickly while the smell of cigarettes lingers. If you are a nonsmoker you may not even notice the smell of vaping.

Car rental companies can detect vape residue on surfaces when the device is extensively used in enclosed areas. However, vape “smoke” only has an odor once the preferred liquids are heated but instantly vaporizes in the air; therefore, it does not necessarily cling to furniture or leave a smell.

Vapor is less dense than cigarette smoke for as long as within a properly ventilated area.

How long does a vape smell last?

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.

Why do people vape?

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.

Does weed smell like smoke?

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.

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.

Can you vape without a smell?

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.
