Try a little carpet fresh and do your laundry more than quarterly? 
LOL I guess it would really depend on what flavor juice you were vaping. Too many variables and not enough info. Stale / odd smells could be anything really.

It definitely depends on the juice. My current menthol leaves the room pretty minty and fresh. My kiwi before that left it fruits for a bit. A pomagranite, coffee, and chocolate flavored juice I've had in the past would leave a pretty heavy, lasting smell. But I wouldn't say it smells bad.
Have to agree I've asked friends who've come over and aren't smokers what they think / notice smell wise. Their comments have always related to whatever I've been vaping that day. I tend to go for sweet / fruity flavors so I don't mind at all. Saving money on air freshener too 
You'll read many comments about how the vapor instantly disappears... a falsehood as I discovered while vaping in the living room at the cottage as we have 2 large skylites in a cathedral clg. In the am. relaxing and vaping on the couch with the sun shining I notice the vapor does not instantly disappear and just hangs in the air for a long, long time. This happens also with unflavored juice. I have a portable humidex (measures humidity) and one time after I woke up I placed it beside the couch and began vaping. After 1 hour the humidity had gone from 55 to 80. I wrote the numbers down, opened the windows for 10 minutes and went out for 2 hours. Came back and the humidity had dropped back down to 55. Vaping, in my opinion, brings about a HUGE increase in humidity and the smell you or your friends are noticing could be the dampness caused by the increase in the humidity of the house and that dampness finding it's way into household fabrics, carpeting, etc.
That's interesting. Are you vaping high VG juice? The really does seem to linger longer.
I have one particular juice that smells kinda rank in 3rd person. It's a tea flavor, maybe that's part of it. Tea can smell bitter, this one is a bit skunky/uriney (is that a word?). It's one of my favorite juices, but it is the only one my husband really complains about. For a little while he was blaming the dog...but I figured out it wasn't the dog.
My non-smoker hubby with a sensitive nose is much happier, he can only smell a couple of my flavors. He really likes French Vanilla Coffee.
So it's probably the particular flavor you were using.

So, is the dog still in the hotseat?
I usually only get bad smells when ive let it run dry and get a burnt smell but other then that house always smells fine :]
I had a boss who made it a game to try and guess what flavor I was vaping just from the residual smell. And given the number of times he was right, I'd say that vaping definitely leaves some residual smell. On he bright side, he never found it unpleasant.
My wife says a lot of juices smell like "crappy air freshener".
That said there is one that if vaped no one will ever come over again. Honey Beez. It's really good but I've heard it smells like everything from dog pee to body odor. i don't vape that on in the office anymore

I've noticed the same but mostly with menthol flavors. I just keep a window open and it seems to fix itself right away.

That poor dog is already getting blamed for most of the farts in the house, I couldn't live with myself if I let him take the rap for this too.
I do notice a slightly musty smell from time to time, that probably is caused by the humid vapor. I remember when I first started, I always felt like I was in a steam sauna, or I just sprayed myself with one of those mister things to keep you cool - especially when I was in my car. If you have a lot of fabric around, it's probably soaking some of that in - I can totally see how the poor wet dog could get blamed for that kind of funk (poor dog).
I dunno if I've gotten immune to the smell or if it's just with certain flavors, but I do keep a bottle of Febreze around just in case.
