Yup... I didn't have a problem with the film on the windows until the temperature dropped. The fogging from my breath doesn't go away no matter how high I crank up the defroster. Trying to wipe it off with a dry towel just smears it around and every subsequent exhale just builds up even more. I've had t break out the Windex twice this month alone.

One thing I've noticed about vaping that's worse than what it was with smoking...

The film buildup on my windows in my car. Gets so oily so fast! I had to wipe the inside of my windows again today, second time in 2 weeks. Could barely see clearly through them.

That happens to me too, but I prefer it to the tar and carcinogen buildup in my lungs.

So I know a lot of people get a film on they're windows but I chain vape in my car with closed windows for an hour every day (30 minutes to and from work) and I haven't had any build up of any kind. I'm vaping a 0.3-0.5 ohm dual coil too so it's literally putting out clouds upon clouds... and I've been doing this in my car for months now.

All I know is the other day when i had to borrow my mothers car I could hardly see outta the window due to the nicotine and tar build up! I don't blame my mother cause she is unable to do this herself...Its one of those deep windshield. I clean it and was disgusted with the nicotine and the tar dripping down the window! I gave it a good scrubbing and the all the side windows too. She was amazed at the difference.

I have been trying to get her into vaping and suggested she start just vaping instead of smoking in the car.

I am starting to firmly believe it may be the particular flavoring some are vaping. I have not had issues with my truck windows and I have been vaping for 16 months.:D

Nah. More clouds = more film. Higher VG = more film, etc.

Also, New cars (purchased within 2-3 years) will still off-gas. That new car smell comes from the oils in the plastics in the car. Even when the smell dissipates the plastics will continue to off-gas for another year or so. It happens with every modern car.
