Help for My Glasses

[marchingon]

I know. The subject of foggy-vaping-glasses has screeched across these pages before. Yet after 10 years of discipline and wonder at the beauty of vaping, I feel close to giving it up. But no. Just...no. I'll clutch my Provaris and cartos and blow from every rooftop in every State Capital first!

'Tis vapor I'll be blow'n, those luxurious clouds of flavor that replaced the Cult of tobacco long ago. Vapor... whose flavors waft morning coffee across your campgrounds and promise a touch of caramel custard after that well earned Trout. It is vapor that is also, oh most unfortunately, fogging up my reading, computer, and long-distance vision when I happen to be in close spaces. Which, in Trump's Quarantine De Covid, seems to be most of the time.

Keeping in mind optical grade lenses, and no desire to wash pairs with drops of Dawn Dish soap many times per day, has anyone found gentle products that work??

For what it's worth, I use the lens cleaning solution sold by most optical shops. They deny it's nothing but distilled water. I don't know. Anyhow, I spray both lenses and lightly clean with my finger tips. I respray, let them drain for a few seconds, and dry them with a microfiber cloth. Seems to work, but I'm open to better ideas.

It doesn't help with foggy lenses.

How close are these spaces you're in? I also wear three different pairs of glasses for the same purposes you state, and I vape from the moment I wake up until I go to bed at night, yet I have no problem with fogged-up glasses.

When my glasses do need cleaning, I use Purity lens cleaner and a Amazon Basics micro-fiber towel.

Spit on them.

Maybe you can order a custom pair of Vape Nation glasses (see top review).

You don't have a governor? You don't have mayors? Perhaps a re-examination of whose orders are responsible for the Quarantine De Covid would be in order.

You're must be kidding.

Zeiss lens wipes, box of 100 for about $5.

Same thing used in presicion instrument lens cleaning, camera lens, scopes, binoculars, glasses, etc...

Microfiber towels are the best for cleaning my glasses as long as I keep one reserved only for that use and don't let them get them greasy.

 

[Redbird11]

While I use these on occassion (CVS Health Microfiber Pre-moistened Lens Wipes, 120 CT (with Photos, Prices & Reviews) - CVS Pharmacy), I have actually found that washing my glasses with a little bit of Dawn dishsoap and a t-shirt or microfiber towel work the best for cleaning and staying clean.

Spit on them.

Nice. Works for dive masks.

I'm half loaded and came across this.... just like how you worded it
I've used generic lens cleaning solution, I've used spit (yes, just had to admit to that one) I've used soap and water... (I just have reading glasses so don't need them all the time (but most of the time) Today I was outside in the heat working and had to wipe the sweat off them with a towel every 20 minutes (tomorrow is supposed to be 103 F) So forgive me if I don't quite get your question but even the dollar store has lens cleaner.
P.S. I do miss camping and trout.

Spit always comes in handy when you're in a pinch.

I agree. I never had glasses fog up from vaping.

Stop exhaling through your eyeballs...is about the only solution I can think of.

Rossum, I spend most my time in a 12x10 ft room and inside a Nissan Sentra. I vape constantly and within a half hour, my glasses are slightly opaque with vapor, same with the inside of my car windows. Type of juice doesn't seem to matter. But thank you! I've ordered those Amazon Basics micro-fiber towels and some Purity lens cleaner.

High VG may be a factor with fogging. I vape 70 pg and don't have that issue. I've mixed 50/50 many times and still don't have a fogging problem. Vaping MTL instead of DTL may be another reason. My exhale is more like a light cigarette. The vapor disappears into the air in two or three seconds.

High VG may be a factor with fogging.

FWIW, I mix 65 VG, but also vape MTL. My glasses, my computer, my walls & windows (including car windows) and my HVAC filters all stay considerably cleaner than when I was smoking.
