The article is not saying that there is no nicotine residue left from ecig use as the thread title suggests. Only that "Nicotine levels in e-cigarette users homes was significantly lower than that found in cigarette smokers homes"
My understanding was that in both non-smokers and vapers houses, the nicotine level was at the detection limit of the instruments, randomly showing either as a trace or just nothing.
I'll pass on Giving them $31.50. I don't like Papers/Studies that are Published to Pay-per-View sites.
Better spent on furniture/carpet clearer

The majority of e-cig users were previous smokers. The houses that were tested did not state the decay level of the nicotine levels. This means that the levels may have been leftover from the previous tenants or the homeowners previous habit.
The only way to have a completely unaffected study is to have e-cig users go into a completely new home (who the builders and painters did not smoke while building the home, this happens a lot btw) and have them reside in this new home for a period of time then test the surfaces.
Nicotine has been known to be small enough to penetrate the wood of a home through the paint and drywall, so even putting up a fresh coat of paint will not work.
Sorry but this study will not hold up in front of a panel of peers.
