I've never done it, but I also wasn't printing with a material that even supported it until I started building my Voron. Now that I'm nearly done I am wrestling some with going back to PETG (somewhat more likely to be recycled if you put it in your recycling), PLA (could maybe be composted if it doesn't get sorted out/will eventually break down in. A landfill), or ABS/ASA (no hopes or dreams here, but man my Voron does seem to print it well).
I have 6 kg of ASA for some functional prints. I'm sure I'll vapor smooth some of it. Printing hassles of ABS/ASA aside, vapor smoothing seems like it offers amazing surface finishes. I really don't know why you don't see more of it? If you don't need dimensional accuracy it should be a big time saver.
