From the time I was 14 to about 23 I had long periods of smoking and no smoking at all. I would smoke for a year or two and quit for about the same length of time with long periods of only smoking when I was drinking. I was never addicted in my opinion, but I suppose some would argue that. From about 23 to about 37 I pretty much only smoked when I was drinking, which was about 1-3 times per month. I'm 44 now and about 6-7 years ago after I started vaping I never smoked again. After vaping for a while I couldn't stand cigarettes and found them so harsh I couldn't imagine ever smoking again. I never smoked indoors or in enclosed areas, I couldn't stand being surrounded by smoke. I smoked in my cars sometimes with the window open, but those cars are long gone now.
About a year ago I started noticing a faint smell of smoke and I would think someone around me must have been smoking before they came in my office/house/car/etc and didn't think much of it. Eventually I realized it's me smelling smoke that isn't there. It seems to be worse the more I vape in a day. Some people say if you see the vapor you start to think of smoke and smell it but that isn't the case in this situation, and that wouldn't make sense since I never smelled it in the first five years I vaped. I'm smelling it later, sometimes while vaping, but I really notice it when I come home where I don't usually vape until I go to bed and watch tv. I've never really vaped large quantities of juice in a day and I still only use a regular non-sub ohm setup (vamo, ego, nautilus type stuff). I use about 2ml of 3mg juice every two days. I've always used about the same amount of juice, but I went from 24mg to 16-18mg to 6-8mg to 3mg.
The smell of smoke is getting more frequent and more noticeable. The reason I'm posting this is because today I was vaping at work and on the way home, while vaping, I started to smell smoke and now it's about 5 hours after I vaped and the smell of smoke is still there. What's strange is I can taste and smell other things just fine, but just breathing normally there's like an ambient smell of smoke. I'm worried that after years of vaping I'm damaging my sense of smell or something, but that doesn't make sense since vaping doesn't smell like smoke.
Has anyone else experienced this or know what it might be? Searching for this issue I only found posts about ex-smokers smelling smoke in their house or car, or people saying others smelled smoke on them when they vaped.
