Film on Windows Worse than analogs!

Y'all crack me up! I never really noticed this before with vaping in the car. I gotta say that the smell is much nicer though. And I live in FLorida where the weather is generally warm.
I vape high PG and still need to clean my windows every day. I use a wet chamois but keep a roll of shop towels and Windex in the car, as well. The film can happen in just one trip.
It's funny, I was just thinking the other day how clean my windows were since I quit smoking. I would let it get pretty bad so maybe that's why I'm not noticing anything. Or maybe you are all OCD on cleaning your windows 
I've noticed this too since it got cold. I commute an hour and a half each way generally with the windows up. I was using vinegar to clean the inside of the windshield, and it worked- but it was labor intensive. Today I bought a bottle of that Invisible Glass stuff at Wally World and cleaned the drivers side of the interior windshield in the parking lot. Holy schnikes, was that easy. Spritzed a little on a paper towel, wiped the windshield, and then wiped it dry. Cleanest I've ever seen, and A LOT less work.
I don't know why the fogged windows are happening- I started vaping in May and this is the first time I've had this problem. Maybe it's because I'm driving in the dark more and I just notice it now...? Maybe I'm putting a lot more moisture in the air inside the car now with the vaping? Or maybe the mist is just condensing on the cold car windows? No idea... but the invisible glass does the trick- and it's e-a-s-y.

I do the same with the windows I rode around with window cracked for so many years it dose not seem right to not have it open as I drive.
IMO this puts the water vapor exhale wives tale to rest. Thats not water vapor hitting the cool windshield and turning in to a film.
True, but the deniers still claim it is off-gassing from new vehicles, pollution, etc.
The etc is also fumes, dust, whatever from the vents now that the heaters, defoggers are switched on in the colder weather. Ask your "perfect" neighbors how often they clean their windshields, summer vs winter. .
How can I clean the inside of my car windows so they won't haze over?

and more of course.
The dashboards, like rubber boots, never stop out gassing when heated up.

I vape very heavy, every day, and while I do notice a small amount of buildup on the windows, it's not a lot. I haven't cleaned the inside of my windshield for six months or so, and it's not bad right now.
But I do, most of the time, crack the drivers window. I think that's mostly a habit left over from when I smoked. Even if it's pretty cold out, I tend to crack that window.
I'm wondering if the different results people are reporting might have to do with the local temp and humidity. I live in Dallas Texas, so we don't have a lot of weather below freezing. Maybe places where it's usually colder cause more problems? Maybe humidity has an effect?

You can tell your self what ever makes you sleep well at night. We are exhaling VG and PG with a little nic mixed in. Stand in front of a window on a cold day and blow vapor on it for 30 or 40 minutes twice a day for a week or two like when your driving then tell me that film is from rubber boot gas in your vent.The etc is also fumes, dust, whatever from the vents now that the heaters, defoggers are switched on in the colder weather.

you need to get pyrex windows to avoid that;-)

I'm pretty sure it is VG, as it is a little greasy. Happened in summer, as well, but not as much, as I had a window down or sunroof popped open most of the time.
Ok...Here's another take on this..my reading glasses get fogged up, even more than when I smoked! It's super noticeable, and I thought they'd stay cleaner... they're constantly smeared.
Makes since to me VG is lots thicker and makes more vapor. I scrape it off the windshield with a razor blade and add it to a new batch of DIY waste not want not;-)
I'm sure it varies depending on the PG/VG ratio, the amount of vapor expelled, the temperature, the coating on the windows, etc.
I'd never deny that it happens even though it hasn't happened to ME. I'm sure it does happen to some people.

The ProVari are defiantly the issue here. It all started when they found me...
My juices are heavy on the PG side, as I don't like the viscosity of heavy VG juices.

If you have ProVaris finding YOU then I want to stand next to you so I can get a few more....lol
This is after I had just windexed 6 days ago. Keep in mind it's worse than it looks because my camera doesn't pick up light as well as the eye.
