We don't seem to get it on our car. But then, neither my other half nor I use e-liquid with much VG in it. I have 15% VG to 85% PG...and I could be wrong but I think hubby's is all PG...get that impression from the vendor's page where he gets it.

My car doesn't have aftermarket window tint.
No, just on the glass.
I'm Ex-auto industry. I can tell you now, Window Gunk was around before vaping and without smoking.
Newer cars suffer from off gassing of plastics as well as increased air pollution.
I Vape in my Small cab Ranger all the time and rarely have to clean my windows.
A) Truck is Aged (Off Gassing has minimized)
B) Most of my travel is outside cities.

I have owned my daily driver since it was new in 1997. Never had this issue until I started vaping in my car- with something other than BLU or VEA. Didn't have this issue when I didn't smoke or vape in my car. It is from e-liquid vapor.
It's odd cause it's a 2013 Wrangler. I vape more in my other car which is a 2003 civic and it's not as bad at all. I've smoked in the Civic way back when I didn't know the proper way to get nicotine

I get the residue but it comes off really easy with windex and newspaper way easier than cleaning the smoking crap

The plastics in your Wrangler are still off-gassing. It can happen in a new car for up to 2 years pretty heavily.
Hot days and especially if it is in the sun will make it worse until the plastics dry out more.
This is the result of what gives the car that new-car smell. It is the oils in the plastics.

Not normally
but it is very bad when I take my LEGAL VAPE 4000 out and about with me (the librarian hates it when I try to stealth vape with it in there. For some reason she always catches me.)

I Am getting the film on the car windows more now that the cold weather has arrived, probably since I Vape in the car on my breaks.

I'm driving a brand new Kenworth Semi truck so I spend 20+ hours a day inside it vaping all the time between driving and stopped in the sleeper taking my breaks. I have noticed a light film on the windshield that I have to clean about once every two weeks. Back when I was sucking analogues it was a twice a week cleaning but in a different truck. Now with that being said, when driving my drivers window is always cracked about an inch unless it's a hard driving rain but at the end of the day the cab is closed up and I sit at the table here in the back and vape while doing paperwork, watching tv and trolling ECF. I have also noticed what look like tiny droplets of something on the chrome like the handle for the glove box.
I'll take this film versus what I used to clean though, this stuff is clear and wipes right off with a micro-cloth, the other film from the analog days took some kind of solvent (windex etc.) and heavy scrubbing then turned the paper towels brown.

I always have a window cracked while vaping in the car, even during the winter. I take care of my car and always make sure it's clean inside n' out so i'd notice any extra buildup.
I have zero issues. We're still talking about window film right?

I haven't noticed it on anything other than my front windshield. It's just an annoying clear film of what I assume is VG. A quick cleaning with just some Windex and paper towels take it right off. Much better than back in the day when I did smoke in my car when I'd have to SCRUB the ever loving snot out of it to get that yellow film off.
Yes I have to keep the windows open to help with that. I do fog up the place lol. When I smoked a couple packs of cigarettes a day the window cleaning was a nasty grimy chore though.
I vape 100% VG based and a side benefit is that my face and hair are a lot less dry than they used to be

no its not nic. well, some of it may contain a bit of nic but its mostly PG/VG. think of it as re-constituted ejuice, with most of the goodies filtered out and absorbed by your body. its condensed exhaled vapor.
there is a product made by Rain-X that is an anti-fog compound. its incredibly effective at repelling and preventing this type of build-up. every vaper should use it. and it lasts for a long time. rub it on and youre good for like a year.
While the weather was warmer, we had no film. Now that it's gotten cooooooold, the fog-type film has to be wiped off daily - I just use a microfiber cloth.
