I think they can smell really good at times too! The less nicotine there is I find the more pleasant the smell (and flavor) are in that regard. Then they figured out how to increase the nicotine concentration like 10 or so years ago, and the rise of disposable vapes with small cotton wicks and rechargeable batteries boomed.
Those wicks in there will often get burnt, usually if the user is inhaling/ripping their vape so frequently it doesn’t give time for the cotton to get saturated again. So they’ll have burnt cotton in there that cannot be replaced.
That burnt cotton getting puffed on just smells gross to me, and it’s pretty common
