How long do e-cigarette and heat not burn smells last?

E-cigarettes produce flavoured vapour made up of water, glycerine, and nicotine. This dissipates rapidly when the vaping stops and does not leave a pungent residue behind like smoking does.

Heat not burn vapes use specially prepared sticks to produce a nicotine infused vapour also containing water, glycerine, and nicotine. This also dissipates rapidly when the vaping stops without a pungent smoking-like residue.

If you vape indoors with a heat not burn vaping product or an e-cigarette, there will be a smell that comes from the vape flavour being vaped. The key question is does it linger like cigarette smoke does? The good news is that vapour containing water, glycerine, and nicotine dissipates when the vaping stops. One study on a heat not burn system found “the levels of airborne constituents measured during THS 2.2 use in environments with adequate ventilation are substantially below threshold limits set forth in air quality guidelines established by cognizant authorities.

The vapour from e-cigarettes and heat not burn vaping devices produce fewer chemicals than in cigarette smoke. This vapour consists mostly of water, glycerine, and nicotine and does not linger or permeate like the thousands of chemicals and solid carbon particles found in cigarette smoke. This often means specialist treatment and drycleaning is needed to remove cigarette smells from clothes and furniture.
