I mean, I'd much rather smell of fruit custard than smoke.

Except that you aren't required to use a flavor. I don't use any flavor for many years and the only thing that could anyone others would be the cloud.

I don't vape for fun, I vape for my nicotine addiction. The flavors made the switch easier but after the switch, I phased out the flavor. Now I don't smell like an ashtray but you can see me from a distance and I visualize where my bad breath smell from my lunch and my germs are in the air.

I would literally rather stick my nose in a dirty diaper than smell a cigarette. The flavour scents are such a huge improvement that I don't have the words to properly express this.
