Does vaping indoors create lingering odors or film?

[boondongle]

I definitely get a film on my car windshield, but then I use my PV non-stop when driving.

I've been vaping since Sept of 09, have found nothing on my keyboard or monitor. I use a can of air to blow the dust off, haven't found any nasty films since I cleaned it after starting vaping.

Do you guys look for things to stress about?

Absolutely! Doesn't everyone?

 

[swedishfish]

Of course!!

You made a good point in your thread yesterday. You do start to worder if all this is too good to be true. For the longest time I kept asking people if they smelled anything. They said, yea, when you blow it in my face! Other than that, no lingering odor that I can smell. My husband doesn't smoke or vape and said he can't smell anything even when I'm vaping. But I vape menthol and peach. They aren't really strong juices. If I get in the closed car with my mom who vapes tobacco juices I can smell the juice while she's vaping it. It's not unpleasant or anything but I can smell it. I don't smell it on her or her clothes or anything. Her car doesn't smell like juice. And my nose has gotten pretty good.

I've never noticed a film in my car, but my main vape is PG. Maybe that's why.

I just ran my finger over the dust on top of my computer. It smells good! No film on computer screen which I can notice. I vape sweets or coffees at 50/50 PG-VG. Been vaping for over 10 mths.

(Note to self: Must dust this room tomorrow....)

I vape primarily VG based liquid, mostly for the novelty, hookah sized clouds of vapor that I get from it. There is no film or residue on anything I can find; the only lingering smells are from my VB Cinnabomb juice, and that's only for an hour or two tops. :3

Let me know what you find out about FSUSA French Toast...It should do the trick.

I have never detected any mustiness, or lingering odors on clothing, bedding, or furniture. In the area I live in I would notice mustiness right away. It's 107F/41.6C here right now with about 22% humidity.

Now humidity I can smell. Just as I can smell the difference between a rain or thunderstorm, and even tell you when there's ice in the area, just by smell. I can also smell milk turning a day or two in advance.

When going from the living room area back into the computer room I can smell the humidity, some of the time. However, overnight this disappears as there is no odor in the mornings.

No film, I sit perhaps four feet from my computer screen and an LED light lamp with a chrome reflector. Neither the monitor or the reflector have any film on them after three month's of heavy vaping primarily at this desk.

Pretty strong here. I think this is not a problem. Maybe smoke as cig or two to see how good it is. Just jesting on the ciggie.

I get a film on my windshield was well after 2-3 months of vaping. But I am a closed-window vaper in the car (if the heat/AC is on). At home I don't notice any film on the screens though.

It helps to consider how much you are vaping. Most people use less than a teaspoon (5ml) of liquid per day. Propylene Glycol vapor is a known germicidal air sanitizer and we're talking about a very tiny amount--even with heavy use. Even with up to 3% nicotine, there's just not a whole lot of harm that can be done by less than a teaspoon of food flavoring, vegetable glycerine and/or propylene glycol.

It is certainly possible for the liquid to collect on certain surfaces--the screen of my laptop and a nearby mirror sometimes collect small "spots" after a while, but nothing that the occassional windex or an alcohol wipe won't fix.

almost 2 years of vaping and I've never noticed a lingering order or residue on anything...and I can be a pretty heavy vaper.

It just an Ethylene glycol vapor . No ash, no tar no carbon monoacide

Most ejuice is propylene glycol or vegatable gylcerin. Ethylene glycol is poisonous

4 hours after i left a room i was vaping in for 9 hours I returned and to my suprise was a sweet smell i recognized as the vapor i had exhaled throughout the day. It must have been the perfecvt time because a half hour later the smell was gone.

 

[Roach]

I have not detected any film, in my car or home. I'm pretty sure home cooking does more damage, damn I gotta give that up!

Ok, that was pretty funny!

 

[wyojoe]

Test it yourself with eye glasses or a mirror and watch the vapor just disappear.

 

[mcglock19]

Just reading through this thread its funny that some are seriously concerned about this. Think back to when you smoked. Did you really care that you smelled like .... 100% of the time?

 

[Doorknob]

I haven't smoked an analog in my car for over a month and I am still trying to get the brownish haze off the interior glass from it.
Vaping I have not noticed any "film" on anything since I cleaned the cigarette film off, even my glasses that I wear are no longer in need of cleaning as often.

 

[KTaylor]

LOL.....a good friend of mine analog chain smokes in his computer room and everything looks like it has been sprayed with maple syrup...YUCK!!!! not to mention the horrible smell. I'll convert him soon enough and he'll join the wonderful vaping world!!!!

 

[izabella]

Ha, it does disappear. I've blown the vapor into my hands, and it makes them slightly moist, but that's about it.

The vapor can linger in the air for a little bit, almost like dust motes in the sun. But then it vanishes.
