Car windows hazed over!

[gakr]

Anybody else notice there automobile windows hazing over while vaping in them? Another couple, the wife and I went to a steak house Sat night for supper in a 1 1/2 hour trip with the 4 of us vaping my windows were a mess! We never smoked in our vehicles so I wouldn't know if it would be worse with cigs.
I also noticed my truck windows were a mess, at first I thought I was having a heater core issue when I turned on the defroster! Now I know its from vaping.
Starting to wonder if its hazing my lungs too!

High VG eliquid will do that.

At least it's not the stinky yellow film you get from cigs.

Yea, Had the same problem, did not notice till it started getting cold, pita to clean and had a kind of a soapy residue. a old trick was using newspaper to clean the windows for less streaks. this was mentioned on here a while back but I can't remember, there are good glass cleaners that help. I just try to keep the windows cracked a littlle to help.

I just took a wet rag and used my handy little squeegee, and they cleaned up just a pita tho!

Yeah, it's definitely worse once it gets colder. It helps to keep the windows cracked a bit, but even then, it leaves a pretty annoying residue.

I found the best way to deal with it is to wipe it with a cloth (I have an old shirt in my car for just that) when the car is already somewhat warm. If the windows are cold, you won't really be able to do much about it. It also helps to wet the cloth a little bit, ideally with something that won't streak (rubbing alcohol works pretty great because it dissolves quickly).

I also like to keep rubbing alcohol as an "emergency defroster". If there's that like thin-layer of ice on the window, rubbing alcohol gets rid of it pretty quick.

Really Steve? I vape 80pg/20vg and never have an issue. My sister vapes VG liquids and her windshield is always gunked up.

Interesting.

Yes. I mostly vape Halo and ProVape e-liquids, which are high PG. Only happens in fall and winter, though. When it is really cold I have to clean the windshield before I leave work for home at night or I have difficulty seeing with the glare.

I used a vinegar/water (50/50) mix and they came out sparkling.

I keep my window fully open or cracked depending on the weather. And try to blow my vapor out of the car instead of blowing it right on my inside windshield.
