I'm saying this with the utmost respect… I think if you're the type to be annoyed by a "light" chemical smell, this one might not be for you. The thing with your sense of smell (and thus taste) is, that it's a very old and basic sense, and it's hard or even impossible to ignore anything that's potentially irritating. So I really do believe it's possible that two different people would judge the smell of the very same FocusVApe quite differently, because that's exactly what happened to me this weekend.
I used the FocusVape with an old lady-friend of mine who is a bit notorious for having a real high definition sense of smell and taste. I like to call her the "Fat Lady of Limbourg" - after the same titled Brian Eno song:
"But her sense of taste is such
that she'll distinguish with her tongue
the subtleties a spectrograph would miss"
She's the kind of person who _really_ tastes a _huge_ difference between a bottle of wine for EUR 20 and the one for EUR 200, when I can actually enjoy the cheap Syrah sold at Aldi. She knows some of my vapes and really enjoys the Firefly, the Hopper and the Verdamper, but when she tried the Focus she was like "Ugh, what's that taste? What's that smell?". She didn't say it was unbearable and had a 2nd and third bowl but never really stopped complaining about the chemical taste. For me it was like "I kind of know what she means but why bother? It's nothing" but for her it's definitely a big deal, not the possible health hazard kind but she surely wouldn't buy it.
Could you find yourself in this desciption? Then, as I said, maybe the Focus is not for you. Please do not understand this like I think you're prissy or something, but that you might be highly sensitive.
All the best,
Hamma
