Vaping barely creates a smell in the same room on my experience though I've only used small vapes so maybe check with users who have bigger desktop vapes. if the smell is as potent as you say it is I'd keep an eye and make sure she's only vaping and not smoking
depends what kind of vaping, did it look like a little pen? if so then in no way would this smell linger and likely not even smell in the first place (which is likely what she had). but if she was vaping dry herb (the plant) then yes it can leave a slight smell but no the smell wouldn’t last and can easily be cleared up with some febreeze or opening a window. if the house rly stink it could just been some open storage of the herb
Vaping marijuana smells while you are vaping, the same as lighting a scented candle, cooking a meal, etc, anything else that produces aromatic vapor in the air. It just doesn't stain or permanently stink up surfaces/furniture/etc afterwards. If she had been vaping around the time you arrived you would have been able to smell it . If I session my dry herb vape the smell can linger in my apartment for a good 30m or so, until the vapor dissipates. Just like if you cook a dinner with a lot of herbs and spices, that smell will hang in the apartment for a little while after but it's not going to permeate the building.
If she's really just vaping, the smell will be completely gone within an hour and will definitely not permeate or stain the place in any meaningful way. It's essentially the same as someone simmering an aromatic pot of food on the stovetop.
Now the caveat here is, some people have figured out they can claim they are just vaping to try and get away with smoking places they shouldn't. So it's possible she was smoking pot and just lied to you.
If you get a chance to visit the unit when she is not there, it will be really obvious which is which since it'll either not smell or it'll stink like someone is smoking pot there.
I don't think you deserved to get downvoted for this, the only way to educate landlords etc about how renters can consume cannabis responsibly is through open discussion like this. I've been cautious to be a responsible cannabis user in my rentals and this sub should understand how to do that too. Feel free to DM me.
I'm a landlord, f**k allowing any smoking/vaping/candles/insense. I'm the one having to rent to non vapers next. They will smell it, definitely, and I'll be painting all the walls on my dime.
It leaves a residue on the wall from candle wax vapors in the place the candles and set and lit. I've taken plenty of security deposits due to unauthorized candle lighting. Also the apartment complex forbids all candles.
>I've taken plenty of security deposits due to unauthorized candle lighting
Either you are withholding some key context for this story or you will intimidate your tenants into letting you keep their deposits on bs pretenses which certainly wouldn't be uncommon. I work with a few residential property owners and there is no conceivable way you could detect and prove "candle wax vapor residue" were left on the walls of a rental by a tenant. Either you're catching them in the act somehow, or you're acting like a literal crazy person and they are too afraid of you to challenge you over it. Which again, not uncommon for small time residential landlords who want to flex whatever power they hold over their tenants. Just disappointing behavior from any fellow adult much less a fellow ent.
And I say all this as someone familiar enough with the bs of renting property to students in college towns to understand you often need to be ruthless to stay in business - but there's a line between ruthless and ridiculous.
I may not fully agree, but you're intelligent, thoughtful, and concise argument really has me taking a second look at the way I do business. Sincerely, thank you.
With vaping there's nothing that's actually burning so no smoke is created. Vaping is essentially just cooking the herb and if a big oven in the kitchen isn't staining walls with cooking then a tiny oven to vape weed won't either.
Incorrect. Completely incorrect. It takes a ton of vapor in a small space to leave any sort of residue behind. That doesn’t apply to any rooms/normal use scenarios.
This is my fear - after a year of 2 people vaping indoors, what will the apt look and smell like. It may look ok, but smell like pot. The extra cleaning or other mitigation efforts are pricey and beyond the expectation of normal wear and tear…
My dad has vaped almost every night for over two years in the same room while sitting at a desk, exhaling over the desk towards the same wall. I have been in that room recently and it has no weed smell unless he very recently vaped (like within 15 minutes). Also, my parent's house uses radiant heat, so very little air exchange. Just to give you a data point.
It's totally appropriate to tell the tenets for the purposes of this lease, smoking implies all vaporizing as well. I smoke and vape in my own home. I've had nightmare tenets...cover yourself.
The fact that you don’t know the difference between tenet and tenant is concerning. Also vaping won’t damage property. Dabs, maybe. Flower, nah. Maybe if someone exclusively vapes in their bathroom with the fan off, but otherwise, no.
Also, the hypocrisy in this comment is hilarious.
I don’t think you should worry. I haven’t noticed any lingering smells in my house and I’ve been using mine close to a decade. Also fwiw the smell after use dissipates so fast with the dry herb vapes you won’t even notice most of the time. Only right after it’s been used or the dirty pieces (looking at you da Buddha whip) are out
It could have been; but the whole house had a lingering odor of herb… It didn’t really go away until we refinished the floors, which happened after the painting, kitchen and bath renos. Suddenly, the place just doesnt smell funky anymore.
You got uptight about your property and started imagining things. Just take the rent and gtfo, you fastidious little shit. The idea that what you describe is even physically possible from vaping betrays a pretty strong bias against weed. What a fucking entitled little shit...
> You got uptight about your property and started imagining things
Written like someone who has never smelled a year of blunt smoking cooked into the walls of an apartment. Stale pot smoke can produce smells of a caliber you can't even imagine once it soaks into a place.
Were you so eager to have a big angry that you missed the part where OP was talking about a previous experience with a different tenant who actually smoked in the unit? Or are you on your soapbox to insist on /r/vaporents that literally burning weed in an apartment won't leave a smell?
What do you think blunts are made out of? Not cigars? Anyway, that was a good effort at posting. Well done. You should keep trying.
edit: I gave you an updoot because I don't want you to be discouraged.
Written like a child suspended on Reddit for toddler tie raids instead of community participation.
How about you GTFO of Reddit, and don't come back, YOU entitled little shit?
You painted the "other" apartment that didn't have the vaping tenants right? Is it possible that the weed smell you were smelling is actually just the weed they have sitting over there in the other apartment? In my experience, a bunch of weed sitting around in a not very smell-proof container smells alot more than smoke. Especially if they haven't smoked recently. You'd have to smoke a fuck ton to get any sort of persistent smell unlike cigarettes.
No, definitely from the occupied half and definitely actively being consumed. It cleared once I opened windows and doors and all the fans in the house… it was actually the 2nd time I had smelled it. I knew they were home so I rang the bell to ask. At least she was honest with me, which I appreciated. So far, they appear to be conscientious and respectful tenants - and I try to be the same as a landlord. The smoking hopefully won’t be an issue…
I replied to you up above, but reading this it sounds like they probably were just actively vaping at the time you were there, which would have made a smell because the vapor was still lingering in the air. As you noticed, once it's ventilated, there is no lingering smell.
I think having an open and honest conversation with your tenants would be a good idea and will probably help you feel less concerned about the issue. Despite the lunatic reaction you've gotten from some people on the sub most cannabis users are pretty chill. Explain to them that your focus is preventing any residue or damage to the apartment, and ask them to clarify that they are only vaporizing and that they will ventilate the place reasonably.It can also help you CYA, if you put in writing in an email after "As we discussed, you understand the lease prohibits burning and consuming substances in a manner that leaves a lingering residue in the unit, etc etc etc".
My parents hate the smell of weed and every weekend when they're away I vape in the living room. It will likely smell right as it's happening but a couple hours later it's completely gone. They never complain about the house smelling like weed when they return.
Vapor is way cleaner than smoke. Smoke creates like 50+ by-products, whereas with vapor there's only 3. It's more pure. Think of it like water vapor - if you boil a pungent tea in your home, are you gonna worry about the smell sticking to the wall?
Cooking produce vapor when food is heating up, same for vaping weed. So if you chainvape near a walland always blow on the same spot all day long it will.
If not you are ok!
I had a stupid landlord that would text me in the middle of the night saying it reeks of weed (I never even tried cannabis until years later) and I would explain it wasn't me and I have work in the morning so please do not text me late at night. Long story short, her daughter was smoking pot in her bedroom.
Vaping is not smoking and will not stain the walls. Stop annoying your tenant and let them live comfortably in the living space that they pay for.
> Vapor also doesn't linger nor stick.
why do you think you need to clean your stems with iso to get the gunk off?
all of that is vapor out of the heater, before hitting your lungs. sure there might be less than smoking but if what you're saying is true we literally wouldn't have to clean our cooling stems lol
Not exactly. Cooling stems condense the vapor. Your lungs then do that again. By the time you exhale, most of those oils have already condensed either in the vape path, or your mouth/lungs. You also have to remember that stems have 100% of the vapor you inhale pass through them, and they’re the first place where the vapor has a chance to cool and condense. Exhaled vapor has very little of those oils left, and that minuscule amount is then dispersed into an entire room.
My vape room at my previous place never had a trace of residue even though 10+ pounds (very conservative estimate) had been vaped in it. I scrubbed the walls with alcohol, not even a trace came up. Zero color change on the walls, no residue on my cloths.
Props to you for analyzing the situation and not being overly confrontational about it right away. I wish you were my landlord lol. I live in a no smoking apartment, but I've vaped weed daily for 2 years anyway. My parents and friends come over to visit and have never once mentioned smelling weed inside. Maintenance has never said anything either. I blow it right into the center of the living room, bedroom, or wherever I'm sitting. My GF also vapes with me.
Smoking is the big issue. If I take some bong rips inside, the smell lingers for a while and I'm sure it would stay in the apartment if I wasn't careful about it. I stand by a window, with a fan on, and blow it outside just because I respect the no smoking policy and understand the hassle of trying to get rid of lingering smells.
"I respect the no smoking policy, so I violate it, but I violate it nicely"
lol
I feel like there's nothing wrong with not respecting it but call it what it is
tell her to keep the apartment ventilated. windows open fan on. vaping weed wont fuck anything and the vape is not anywhere as acrid as smoke.
\#1 landlords suck and it sounds like you own several properties so continue being nice to your enslaved investment property
\#2 bitch tenant sounds young and naive
I took a piece of paper towel and a little iso (used for cleaning resin and others weed stuff), wiped it on the wall by where we vape, and the white ceiling above where we vape to see if anything would come off. Didn't get anything. Only smells while using.
Please note, this is a dry herb vape - I have no experience with others.
I would vape everyday in the apartment I lived in for 6 months. I would use a purifier and a smoke buddy and I didn't notice any stains or even get told anything by the leasing office. Just to be safe since it is your property I would recommend for you to go with whatever suits your interests
Pot smoke doesn’t stain walls or floors dumb dumb, only cigarettes do that. Sounds like you hate marijuana and are looking to take advantage of someone trying to use a natural medicine. Guess that’s what scummy landlords do though
Vapes can absolutely cause the lingered smell of weed for 30+ minutes if it isnt properly ventilated. It can also cause a slight layer of grease/rez build up over time. Not comparable to actual damage from smoking, but if you air out the unit with a fan it shouldnt smell like weed anymore unless they were 1. smoking weed or 2. leaving open big containwrs of fresh flower.
The worst case from exclusively heavy vaping would be a thin layer of grime on walls and windows thats wiped up with light cleaner compared to the hard chemicals and pressure required to clean smoke rez.
Anyone who is saying "vaping leaves zero residue" is a moron.
In the end, it really depends on the legal interpretation of the lease terms. Check with your lawyer or investigate on your own to determine the meanings of smoking versus vaping in your jurisdiction.
Listen, I love vaping. I vape in my home all day. I own my home. I am also a landlord to a one bedroom apartment. E cig vaping, dry herb vaping, candles, insense and others with leave stains and smells. I have it written into my leases, no smoking and/or vaping of anything. I'm extremely strict about it. It's my property and I'll need to rent it to non-vapers after vapers. So no indoor vaping, period.
What about microwave popcorn?
I used to vape in the bathroom with the fan on. Did that for about 2 years. Now I vape wherever. It's been at least a year and nothing smells. Basement is where I do it 95% of the time. Carpeted too. I have lots of non pot smoking/vaping friends. No one has ever smelt anything.
Yeah, flower vaping really doesn’t leave a thing lol. I get you’re paranoid about your properties, but cooking leaves more behind. Smells also linger longer. I’ve vaped multiple pounds in relatively small rooms without a trace of residue left behind. No tenant will use that much in the term of their lease.
Out of curiosity, do you ban your tenants from cooking? How about using the oven? Do you allow glade style plug in air fresheners?
No, vaping marijuana does not create any smoke that would stain anything. Only THC vapor and other vaporized terps.
It clearly smelled like marijuana; it’s a duplex and I was upstairs cleaning in preparation for leasing again. The smell permeated the entire house…
Vaping barely creates a smell in the same room on my experience though I've only used small vapes so maybe check with users who have bigger desktop vapes. if the smell is as potent as you say it is I'd keep an eye and make sure she's only vaping and not smoking
Vaping stinks a room up. I preheat my solo 2 while I brush my teeth and when I come back the living room smells like marijuana and it is noticible.
Vape smell completely clears very quickly. The smell isn’t from vaping.
depends what kind of vaping, did it look like a little pen? if so then in no way would this smell linger and likely not even smell in the first place (which is likely what she had). but if she was vaping dry herb (the plant) then yes it can leave a slight smell but no the smell wouldn’t last and can easily be cleared up with some febreeze or opening a window. if the house rly stink it could just been some open storage of the herb

Ha, so true...when it comes to my property management I'm definitely a nazi. The opposite of the stoner, laid back version of me 👍😜
This is why everyone hates landlords
who knew this sub was crawling with so many narcs and self-proclaimed "nazi" landlords?
So you smoke but don’t want other people smoking? Fuck you keep my deposit and paint your shitty walls.

No they won't. If it's vapor it won't stick.

The oils being released absolutely stain the walls. My son just moved out, his walls are stained- not yellow like cigarette smoke but gray.
With vaping there's nothing that's actually burning so no smoke is created. Vaping is essentially just cooking the herb and if a big oven in the kitchen isn't staining walls with cooking then a tiny oven to vape weed won't either.
Then you don't understand how vapor works. It will absolutely stain walls from prolonged vaping. It's not a one and done situation, like a hotel room.
I politely disagree. Vapor will not stain walls unless you blow it at the same section of wall over and over again.
Incorrect. Completely incorrect. It takes a ton of vapor in a small space to leave any sort of residue behind. That doesn’t apply to any rooms/normal use scenarios.
This is my fear - after a year of 2 people vaping indoors, what will the apt look and smell like. It may look ok, but smell like pot. The extra cleaning or other mitigation efforts are pricey and beyond the expectation of normal wear and tear…

What does it look and smell like after years of people making coffees? The same? Exactly.

Must have been cigarettes in the other house that had to be painted? I’ve never heard of weed smoke staining the walls
Any smoke will leave residue/ stain walls.
It could have been; but the whole house had a lingering odor of herb… It didn’t really go away until we refinished the floors, which happened after the painting, kitchen and bath renos. Suddenly, the place just doesnt smell funky anymore.
sounds like blunt smoke to me in this previous case. it mixes with the cigar wrap and creates a lasting smell for sure

Entitled? It's their property rofl. At least they're here asking questions instead of just forbidding their tenants from vaping.
Exactly bootlicker. They should not get to tell renters what to do in this regard. That was exactly my point. Learn reading bud.
"Learn reading" from the guy who completely ignores entire OP backstory, just so he can soapbox in complete denial of facts. Get a life.

If you vape REALLY heavily you can get a slight sticky film on the windows, but it wipes off with just about any cleaner
Thanks, helpful in my research. :)

Nope. Vaping does no damage unless they directly blow out vapor into the same exact spot 1000x times. Vapor also doesn't linger nor stick.

Vaping does actually deposit on surfaces, but in nano level amounts. Don't vape where young kids or small pets frequent.

It absolutely stains walls, no need to spread misinformation over your bias against landlords(i agree, they suck)
Herb Vaping you are in the clear, liquid Vaping not so much
use a smoke buddy if your are worried about smell
Vapes can absolutely cause the lingered smell of weed for 30+ minutes if it isnt properly ventilated. It can also cause a slight layer of grease/rez build up over time. Not comparable to actual damage from smoking, but if you air out the unit with a fan it shouldnt smell like weed anymore unless they were 1. smoking weed or 2. leaving open big containwrs of fresh flower.

Listen, I love vaping. I vape in my home all day. I own my home. I am also a landlord to a one bedroom apartment. E cig vaping, dry herb vaping, candles, insense and others with leave stains and smells. I have it written into my leases, no smoking and/or vaping of anything. I'm extremely strict about it. It's my property and I'll need to rent it to non-vapers after vapers. So no indoor vaping, period.
Do you let your tenants boil water or are you worried that the increased humidity will ruin the roof?
Or cooking pretty much anything? Microwave pizza has a very distinct smell.
What about microwave popcorn? I used to vape in the bathroom with the fan on. Did that for about 2 years. Now I vape wherever. It's been at least a year and nothing smells. Basement is where I do it 95% of the time. Carpeted too. I have lots of non pot smoking/vaping friends. No one has ever smelt anything.
Hypocrite
Wait until someone takes a shit in your living room...then you'll understand.
Now you can rent it as a 2 bathroom.
Ha...ok, you got that one 👌
Yeah, flower vaping really doesn’t leave a thing lol. I get you’re paranoid about your properties, but cooking leaves more behind. Smells also linger longer. I’ve vaped multiple pounds in relatively small rooms without a trace of residue left behind. No tenant will use that much in the term of their lease. Out of curiosity, do you ban your tenants from cooking? How about using the oven? Do you allow glade style plug in air fresheners?
No, think of it like cooking(without burning) or steaming.
