    True. I just found it have me a headache . A really sweet smell

    A lot of them are just vapour but the super sweet ones actually make me feel nauseous and have a horrible lingering smell.

    That's why I would ban them, crazy excuse from the OP mind

    I think its about not blowing huge clouds in the pub, if you want to do that go outside

    keep it discrete when satisfied after Vaping hard outside

    but of course as with all things you will get a few knobs too feck it up for everyone

    Haha look at us knobs pretending to smoke...

    You clearly don't get it. Most people here are beyond smoking cessation, not that that's a bad thing (ever heard of lung cancer? ). No, people here enjoy vaping as a pleasure in and of itself and actually find it a superior experience to smoking.

    I would never vape inside a pub unless I knew no one would notice.

    Exhaling what looks like smoke indoors is now completely socially unacceptable regardless of what the law states.

    My worry is that the bullish attitude of some vapers (look at the thread title), could actually be harmful in that it could foster resentment towards vaping in general.

    This is exactly what's happening in the USA. Vapers are getting out of control.

    I was at a gig on Sunday night and someone on a couple of occasions blew up a few clouds. They looked like sub ohm clouds to me and they drifted towards the stage and became really noticeable under the lights.

    I heard some people around me complaining around me and a few more on facebook the next day.

    Eye rolling and telling people to read up about vaping and it's negligable passive effects is not good enough.

    A lot of vapers feel that they're entitled to direct lung a crown tank indoors because they're not breaking the law. Talking loudly and letting off massive farts isn't against the law either but people don't do it. Lack of consideration for others is what will bring about a ban sooner than test results regarding the health effects.

    The thread title is what happened though. Vaping was banned because someone actually smoked a cigarette. That is a sh××e reason. There seems to be an attitude that the poor little smokers can't help themselves from lighting up indoors if they see someone vaping. They ought to grow up a little.

    Edit. In reply to Lee baby simms.

    Er, have you been in a pub since the smoking ban?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 375 ✭✭macker33


    Its perfectly simple and i have no idea why it even needs to be discussed.
    If you arent dong anything wrong then there is nothing to apolagise for. There is absolutely no justification whatsoever to object to vaping indoors,
    Absolutely none, i hate whiney bitches giving me passive stress, should they be banned from moaning people in pubs(and forums), i dont appreciate being made to feel like a second class citizen either.

    We're seen as somehow getting round the smoking ban, that's all it is. Vaping doesnt even smell.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,005 ✭✭✭JH_raheny


    Exactly, owner of a pub I frequent told a guy complaining...I have over 200 different customers passing through every day sometimes more but I only have 1 or 2 complaints about vaping per week, I have more complaints about the smokers standing blocking the door way, if you don't like how I run my business YOU have a choice. .

    That second part is simply untrue.


    I love vaping and always ask permission before I'll vape in a pub (many are cool with it if you're discreet, one barman even asked for a 'shot' of my ecig!), but there most definitely IS a smell from it. Sometimes it's a nice smell, sometimes its nasty. For example, my non-smoker sister, who is vehemently anti smoking (but approves of vaping) will regularly sniff around me because she loves the smell of the juices I use. When my other sister vapes around her, she hates the smell and complains because the liquid my other sister uses smells vile.

    The smell doesn't linger like cigarette smoke, but there IS a smell.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,005 ✭✭✭JH_raheny


    defo is a smell of vaping no doubt, even as a vaper there is some I just can't stand

    I gotta second that, and even when my family come down to the sitting room the following morning they do get a smell of what I had been vaping the night before .

    I think the problem is the people sub-ohming in pubs as opposed to just using a mini nautilus or something like that . If you are blowing big clouds in a pub then you would deserve the asshole tag that comes with it .

    Personally, I go outside the pubs to vape anyway as years of smoking experience has thought me that that is where the craic is :D

  • Registered Users Posts: 93 ✭✭Gez69


    Well I've been vaping for about 10 months and I can't smell it, even with my improved senses. My wife who has never smoked also says she can't smell it.

    If there is a smell i find it hard to believe that it causes too much discomfort to anyone.

    I could understand that you can't but the wife I thought would at least a bit.
    Drop me a PM with address and I'll post you a bottle of the French vanilla I made, it's nice vaping but even I find the smell a bit to strong so only vape it at home

    Why should those of us who dont smoke have to have them vaporisers near us, God only knows whats in them and innocent people would have to breath the chemicals from them, The pub was right, right to be thinking of its punters health

    Ingredients -

    Vegetable glycerin.
    Propylene glycol.
    Nicotine.
    Food grade flavourings.
    Cheaper brands occasionally have small amounts of ethanol.

    I must be god :D

    Let's clear that up even further:

    > Vegetable glycerin.
    > Propylene glycol.

    These are both carbohydrates. Used in many products and lots of food.

    > Nicotine.

    In most of the foods we eat at various amounts. Tiny amounts in exhaled vapour. As safe as coffee.

    > Food grade flavourings.

    Lots of lots of food products.

    The innocent should stop eating... you know just to be sure. :pac:

    I'm an ex smoker and couldn't care less about people vaping indoors. Not fond of the smells mind you (some of them), just like I'm not fond of BO, or some perfumes, or even some food smells in our work space. Not a big deal !
    I don't think there should be a ban anywhere, the state is Nanny-ish enough as it is.
    Vape away !

    Second hand vape is actually beneficial, Supposedly because its anti bacterial and anti viral.
    I dont actually know but thats what i heard.
