Wife says vape smells like burnt paper.

[krisco65]

Shes a non smoker and has never smoked. She says while the vape smells much better than the cigarette smoke it still smells like burnt paper after the good smell has faded (vanilla in this case).

I thought this was maybe my coil being clogged up but I put a brand new one in and she says it still smells the same.

Thoughts?

I've never heard of that before, nobody has ever said anything but good things about my vapor smell. Try changing the flavor after a good clean (if using clearos) and see if she still smells it?

Could also be psychosomatic.

I don't know what it could be. When I vape strawberry cheesecake, I get one the next day because the wife says it smells just like it and she wanted one so she made it.

Are you vaping at a high wattage? Maybe you're burning the juice a little and for whatever reason can't taste it?

Is kinda odd but we have to remember, like smoking - we didn't know how we smelt to non-smokers and even though vape generally smells nice/neutral there may be smells in there that we're not aware of simply because we're vaping..?

?? Every time a non vaper enters my living space they say "smells like cake in here" .. I'll take it!

Ya I have no idea. I usually vape at 4.4. Is that high?

My husband never smoked, and generally likes what I vape. Maybe 2 he didn't like, but I have to agree with him on those. He would much rather me vape than smoke.

A friend says his family (All non smokers.) smells "moth balls" when he vapes high or pure PG. Could that be it?

At what ohm? Doest it taste burnt?

You sir, have a winner!

Some can have a strange odor (honey is one). The upside is it dissipates very quickly, almost like a scented candle. Certainly not like cigarettes where the odor gets absorbed by fabric, carpeting, drapes, etc.

It'll go away. Or, she might get used to it.

No idea what ohm as its not labeled.

Guessing you don't have an ohm meter? You obviously have a vv,but it's possible you have a 1.8 coill, which would likely burn your juice at 4.4. Did you buy the clearo and battery together from a B&M store?

The battery was part of a starter kit from my local smoke shop. It is this:



I recently bought a Kanger Protank 3 and its what I am using now.

I vape only unflavored VG nicotine base and 5% water. Nobody smells anything. I taste it through and it isn't mothballs (unless I've been hanging around mothballs).

Ok on the box of the Protank it probably came with 2 coils of different ohms, right? It should say what they are? I know on one I bought it came with a regular 2.5 ohm coil and then a 1.8. The 2.5 shouldn't burn at 4.4 (depending what/how you're vaping) but the 1.8 might (again depending).

Yup.. One way to find out is remove the coil head and it will be labeled near the contact.

The dual coil says 2.0 ohm

 

[Caridwen]

To me, some flavors with a lot of sweetner or vanilla can have bit of a burnt sugar smell.

Drop the voltage by 0.2 and give that a try...

I typically vape 2ohm kanger tanks at 3.8 and they work fine.. Not too hot or slight burnt taste.
