2016年9月8日 · Fabrics and carpets are not so simple. The ultra-fine particles of the e-cig vapor falls into these and can’t be washed out with water. Professional cleaning may be required more frequently than before. Anything that is porous runs the risk of storing odors, just as they would if you frequently fry fish indoors, for instance.

Indoor vaping tends to leave behind a subtle scent that vanishes more quickly than the smell of cigarette smoke. Specific materials have a tendency to absorb and retain these smells longer. Porous items like carpets and fabrics are especially susceptible to capturing the ultra-fine particles emitted from vapor, causing them to hold onto the odor.

2024年6月14日 · Several recent studies have suggested that while vaping indoors is less likely than smoking cigarettes to discolor a wall, it doesn’t mean it’s free from residue. On the contrary, research has shown that vape aerosols are capable of depositing on surfaces when inhaled; this could possibly accumulate if not properly handled.
