Or is it avoided like smoking in cars?

    I’d say most people who regularly vape probably do. A significant amount of them also vape indoors.

    I used to and the smell didn’t really cling to things and it didn’t yellow the walls. I did notice little specs in an almost sneeze like pattern though.

    I literally bought a vape so I wouldn’t smoke in my car. It’s quite a bit easier to sell a car that smells like raspberries than one that smells like an ashtray.

    I did. I don’t believe it has any real lasting effect. You’d never know I vaped in any of my cars.

    Unless my kid is in the car or if I’m giving someone a ride, yeah. My partners and I don’t care since it doesn’t leave a nasty smell/residue behind.

      I’m pretty obsessive about keeping my car clean, but I also use a vape. It’s no contest: cleaning up after vaping is 100x easier than cleaning up after actual smoke.

    Yeah, I do, and I know lots of people who do.

    Most vapes these days barely have any a cloud at all, unless you are one of the few people who goes out of their way to have an obnoxious cloud generating machine.

    Most people are using things about the size of one or two sharpies, and on many settings the things make ‘clouds’ that are barely more visibly obscurant than steam from a pot on a gentle boil.

    It does not leave a lasting smell or discoloration like tobacco does.

    Its always struck me as odd that many apartments will say that you cannot vape in your apartment.

    It is literally undetectable unless they literally see you doing it. I guess its all encompassing to catch people doing it with dab pens or something? But that, like actually smoking, leaves a lasting smell and discoloration, and can seep through walls and air systems… while to the best of my knowledge that does not happen with vapor.

    ???

    I have literally been in apartments where the staff will ‘remind me’ not to vape inside when they see me walking in holding my vape, meanwhile I’ve been telling them about my fentanyl smoking neighbors for months.

    Depends on the person. It’s nasty though as that oil in it gets all over the windshield and shit unless stuff has changed with how they work. Used to have to slip seat at work with someone that vaped.

      It’s not oil per say but you will get glycerin fogging up your windows over the course of many months.

      Propylene glycol (PG) is completely miscible with water, meaning it can dissolve in water.

    Judging by the clouds of steam pouring out of the cracked windows I’d presume so. Either that or they have a fire in there.

    Sure, used to smoke in the car when I smoked cigarettes too. Now it smells like pineapple mango and is much easier to clean, just some windex inside
