How long does it take for vapor to dissipate?
The vapor dissipates fairly quickly, albeit not instantly. To someone watching you, it will look like you're smoking; but if, say, someone walks into the room a few seconds after you took your last puff they may well not notice anything.

Like secondhand smoke, it lingers in the air long enough that anyone in the same room (assuming the room is small enough) is likely to inhale some of the exhaled aerosol. As the name indicates, the bystanders are not inhaling secondhand (or passive) smoke—because secondhand e-cigarette vapor simply isn't smoke.

I have been using a Finiti e-cigarette from Walgreen (Yes, I know I am a noob) for the past 4 weeks. I use it in combination with snus and snuff and have reduced from 20 cigarettes to 4 per day.

I have only noticed vapor for a brief moment maybe 30 sec if I'm puffing constantly, but it dissipates... also the odor is only there for a second, it to dissipates and is gone with the vapor...
Alistar Super Member Verified Member ECF Veteran

I do notice a slightly sweet smell in my small apartment after I have been vaping all day. Someone who doesn't vape would probably just attribute it to someone having a candy or some type of sweet. I wouldn't worry to much about it.

Hm. Personally, I would love to have a lingering cloud of vapor in my apartment, but absolutely nothing lingering at work.

There are a lot of variables that come into play. To keep it simple, if you want less vapor, you can use juices with more PG and less VG. Also, you can blow your vapor through a cloth and most of it will be absorbed.
