Ok so I am anosmic (virtually no sense of smell) and my current method of obtaining spice is by evaporating xylene. I do this in a room in my house which I don't use while there is xylene evapping in it, I block the door with a towel to stop any serious amount of the vapours drifting to other parts of my house... BUT even when I go into the room I can't smell anything, which gives an idea of how little nasal perception I have, so I can't tell what the likelihood is of my neighbours being able to perceive it. I live in a block of flats, I'm 2 floors up, I leave the windows open in the room when I'm evapping, the room is on the back end of my house so the window doesn't lead out to a balcony or anything, it leads out to nothing. The structure of the room seems fairly solid, like it's solid concrete floor below me and solid concrete roof above me (i.e the neighbours floor) so I can't really see how the smell would get to them... but then again I am also aware that xylene is a very potent stinker, probably especially if you have several bowls of it evapping simultaneously. Does it seem likely to anyone that my neighbours would be aware of the smell?
Probably worrying about nothing here, but I often see people talking about being careful in regards to neighbours smelling solvents and I think I seen a report of someone being busted because of this... so better to ask needlessly than to not ask and regret it later.
