The simple and straightforward answer is no, vape does not stick to your clothes. Unlike smoking, which involves burning tobacco and producing strong-smelling smoke, vapours from your e-cigarette do not stick to your clothes if you vape casually and out in the open.
Yes, vaping can leave a scent on your clothes, though it may not be as strong or persistent as the odor left by tobacco smoke.
Sniff around for unfamiliar smells.
Nicotine vapes often have a sweet minty, fruity, or candy-like smell that is strong at first but fades over time. Marijuana vapes have a more acrid, sour, or burnt smell that lingers a bit longer.
Likewise, though some people may notice that vaping inside leaves a slight odour, this is much less noticeable than that of traditional cigarettes smoke. Again, this can be reduced by ensuring good ventilation throughout your home.
This heated fluid creates a vapor made up of tiny droplets that looks like cigarette smoke. Just like tobacco smoke, e-cigarette vapor sticks to clothes, furniture, and other surfaces creating thirdhand smoke. Research has found nicotine residue from e-cigarettes on indoor surfaces days after vaping had stopped.
Even in a poorly ventilated area with windows shut, any smells from vaping should be gone in only ten minutes or so, instead of lasting around for hours like smoking. When one is vaping outdoors in comparison, the smell from your vape will hardly be noticeable at all and will disappear extremely quickly.
However, the amount is not the same, and some of these vaporizers can have a much stronger scent. A vaping pen's smoke lasts not very long, from 10 to 15 minutes in an enclosed area, while outside, it dissipates within seconds.
“Vaping isn't as easy to detect as parents may think it is,” she said. “Unlike traditional cigarettes, there's not a real obvious odor.” According to the study, “vaping is easy to hide from teachers and parents, even when done in indoor areas like bedrooms, bathrooms and classrooms.”
The fact that it contains reduced levels of nicotine means it will take ages for stains to appear. But on the flip side, vapour in the room will pick up dirt and dust faster than cigarette smoke.
We've all been tempted to vape indoors, and most of us do at home. Since all buildings should be fitted with one, you might be wondering “can vaping set off smoke alarms?”. The short answer is yes. But, there are different types of smoke detectors and some are a lot more sensitive to vapour than others.
A dentist can't tell if you're vaping or not, but they can tell that you're consuming nicotine, whether through traditional cigarettes or electronic cigarettes. Nicotine leaves yellow and brown stains on teeth after it mixes with our saliva flow.
Vaping is known to inflame oral tissue and cells within the mouth, which invariably leads to increased coughing. If someone you know seems to be coughing far more than usual, it may be because they've started vaping. If you hear them clearing their throat more often, that is also a clue that they've started vaping.
The chemicals in vaping are not safe for babies or kids
The chemicals found in vape "smoke" are different from those found in cigarette smoke. “E-cigarettes commonly contain propylene glycol and glycerol. These substances can decompose to form formaldehyde and acetaldehyde which are known carcinogens,” says Dr. Ambler.
It's not safe to use vape pens or e-cigarette devices around kids. The vapor from e-cigarettes has chemicals in it that can be harmful to kids. There's another serious problem with e-smoking devices: Kids can get poisoned if they drink the liquid in nicotine delivery devices or refills.
There are several studies done that all indicate the same result: indoor vaping is not bad for the indoor environment, and there is no evidence to say that it is.

TECHNIQUES TO STEALTH VAPING
If this isn't getting enough vapour for you, then a single long draw on your device can be done instead. The key is then holding in the vapour - this is where the throat hit can cause problems - then exhaling downward or away from any bystanders through tightly pursed lips.
Symptoms of Vaping Addiction
Symptoms of nicotine dependency include: A strong, almost irresistible urge to vape. Continuing to vape even if you think that it's harmful to you. Irritability when you can't vape.
