I mainly vape in my room, and notice how quickly it can fog up if I'm chain vaping. Never really bothered me, but picked up a cheap air purifier yesterday just to see if it would help clear out the space and notice a huge difference. Was curious to know if anyone else used one. I can only imagine how foggy my room would get if I sub ohmed, but not to bad since I MTL vape.

I’ve never used one. Also I haven’t fogged up a room yet;)
I do have a question though, since you vape mainly in one room do you have residue anywhere?
Not that I notice, and I'm pretty much a clean freak (I would notice). I always have a fan running too so it dissipates around to fast to settle I guess if at all. :)

We have fans in every room but I noticed when we lived in Georgia, I vaped mainly in my craft room and when it was cold outside, the window would fog up.

Hmm, that's interesting, I have one in one of our sheds. I might need to dig it out and try it (if I can find it) because my husband says he notices "a smell" in the house. I don't and I'm fairly certain I smell better than him (he's still smoking, so in both senses of the word) but I am vaping the stuff all day long, I imagine I'm not going to notice it much in ambient air. Interesting, thanks for posting it. I don't really need our house to smell like my DIY mixes, LOL, so it might be worth a try....

    Its pretty surprising how quickly even 'toodle puffing' can cloud up a room. I use semiAutomatic air cleaners - they are on LOW until they detect a change in air quality and then switch to medium or HIGH until the quality goes up.

    Of course it is dependent on where I'm vaping and if the furnace is blowing my vape around or not. The cleaners can clear the room in ~5min or less after a few puffs on the vaporizer. YMMV.

    The only real time you notice the vape residue is when it gets cold outside and your windshield doesn't defog or the windows in the house begin to look like they are condensating and also fog up. Its the VG that leaves a film almost everything and isn't noticed until it begins to cool off outside. It has to be cleaned like grease and good cause it may look clean but the fog does return rather quickly...I know cause our first winter vaping I had our Terrain in the GM dealership thinking the heater core went just to have them tell me nothing wrong then a bit of research led me to the VG film from vaping inside a vehicle that gets onto the windshield, even cracking a window does help but still have to clean the windshield quite often. That film is much better and easier to clean than the yellow smoke off the walls.
    Something like a purifier that has some sorta filter would gum up quickly(VG is kinda sticky once it dissipates and settles) if your a heavy vaper trying to hide the vapor. Smoke alarms and the smell of your vape gives you away long before the actual vapor causes any issues.
