This has been discussed a few times before. VG, I think. The question that remains scientifically unanswered is whether the same happens in the lungs or doesn't.

I think it's likely VG and/or PG that makes the film on glass, but I believe we're talking about computers here, not lungs
Seems to me that if moisture is condensing inside the computer on the mainboard or cards, then something is gonna fail. I don't liquid cool my systems anymore since newer stuff doesn't run as hot. But if my liquid cooler ever had a problem and leaked, I always had to buy a new motherboard or something. If you've got an actual condensation problem in there, get ready!
Maybe something like this?

I actually exhale in the opposite direction of my computer...directly onto the Epson printer. In over a year of being enveloped in vapor, I haven't noticed any issues. In fact, seems...well lubricated.
No, it is not because humidity, it is all about temperatures.
Cold things (as window panes) in a warmer place attract all types of vapor - water wapor, vaper's vapor. If humidity is not high in the room, only VG/PG vapor will settle on a window.
I get build up all over my computer. I have a bunch of fans in my PC so I don't notice liquid build up, just excess dust.
I did install an exhaust fan in my window as soon as spring hit and it has vape condensation on it.

Makes sense about the cold things. Yeah, probably temperature instead of humidity. We get the same film from our gas fireplace and my cooktop in the winter.
Not a computer, but I get horrible vapor build up inside my 73" rear-projection DLP television. My living room is about 600 sq. ft., I sit about 15' from the TV and have a ceiling fan going at all times. It collects so fast that I have to remove the screen and clean the inside of the screen and the big mirror in back about once a month. It all started when I got my Reo and started building sub-ohm (.4-.5) a few years ago, and is even worse now that I've got a VW device and sub-ohm RTAs. Very annoying.
If anyone has any ideas as how to reduce the build up inside the TV, I'd love to hear it. I've considered adding exhaust fans...or I could just get a new flat-panel (sealed) television....I have not considered stopping vaping though.
I've also noticed build up on the windows in my house, mostly during colder weather. Same in the car...I've got to keep paper towels and glass cleaner in the car to wipe down the windows every couple days during the winter.
All that being said, I'm fairly certain there's build up inside my PC, but I've never actually checked for it....and I don't think it matters if you blow your vape directly at it or not because I'm not close to my TV at all and it finds it's way in there.
