Vape Residue on Car Windows..........any suggestions?

[SissySpike]

That's when you'll know you're a Redneck!!

I beg to differ a redneck would use a old pillow case dual propose their day before payday siphon hose why buy what you have in the trunk! and wire it together with a coat hanger. My highfalutin ,extravagant no vape windshield bag, is a terrible waste of money and resources to any self respecting red neck;-)

I clean my windows with a 50/50 mix of 91% Isopropyl Alcohol/Water. It's what we clean windows of airplanes with, so it's good enough for my truck.

Yah with the temperatures dropping here in CO I too have noticed the buildup on my truck windows and patio door in my home. I have to admit I only clean the truck probably once a year but keep the patio door pretty clean.

Walmart sells a foaming window cleaner that's excellent...and super cheap, if you don't find it in the household cleaner section check the automotive dept. My windex experience on windows has never been good, even ones without vape film on um.

This is also a foaming cleaner. A few years ago I had to have a windshield replaced, due to a crack, and the guys who replaced it used this stuff. Totally streak free. I found it at Costco in a 3 pack.

Oopsie!

I vape heavily in my car daily to and from work. As yet I haven't noted any residue or buildup on anything including the glass. Could it be related to the type of e-liquid?

But do you exhale?

Does anyone have a magic potion for removing the gooey residue on car windows after heavy vaping while driving?
Windex and microfiber just seems to smear it.

I put a little rubbing alcohol into my windex. Seems to work.

Gilbert AZ sounds warm and dry. I didn't have any trouble during the summer either. It's a cold ( sub 20F) and damp environment issue.

I still haven't cleaned the smoke residue off of my windows yet.........

 

[mgmrick]

Yes this a cold problem I don't notice the build up when it is warm out

I asked my neighbor, who is a rocket scientist (literally) He retired from Jet Propulsion Laboratories and was involved in the space program. He advised it is specifically a temperature issue. Vapor in a warm environment dissipates, vapor in a cold environment does not dissipate quickly, but settles in its semi-liquid form onto its surroundings. astronauts have the same problem with their breath, coating the windows and other surfaces in space flight.
Even though the interior of the car may feel warm with a heater on, the area an inch or two from the glass will remain cold from thermal transfer and thus allow the coating. Other interior surfaces that have not thoroughly warmed up will also allow the vapor to settle on them.

The obvious solution; move to Arizona!!!

Redneck Card is revoked... you forgot the twine and duct tape.

. . .I wonder if it's possible for inhaled VG to leave a film?
I suspect not. . .

When I vaped 100% VG. . .my car windows would become completely clouded in less than a day. Wasn't nearly as bad when I cut back to 50/50 pg/vg. VG is the greater culprit far as I'm concerned. I found "Invisible Glass" brand window cleaner and paper towels worked pretty well. I made some concoxion using ammonia and it really cut the oil. JMHO
