Nicotine Film...Vaping inside???

[BethAnn]

Silly question I know...but when i smoked analogs i always went outside. Will vaping indoors make a nicotine film in the house like real cigarettes do? Hubby and I are scratching our heads on this one

I've never had that. It was my understanding that the film is actually the same stuff that turns into tar in your lungs, which is not in e-liquid.

You'll get as much film from vaping as you do from boiling water on the stove.

Actually, vaping does leave a film. I vape in my house but don't notice it. But in my car, I can tell when it builds up on my windshield. It is just the vg. It will not build up on anything porous like fabric or leather, but it will on solid surfaces.

These is the second time i see the comment of VG related to the topic, but i honestly cant tell if it does or not.

I know vg can make a unit looks pretty disgusting if its not cleaned regulary.

OH no...two different opinions

Yes it does. I noticed it on my windows by my computer last winter. And I clean my monitor more often since I vape here. I don't think it goes as far, but it definitely leaves a film. I use mostly vg btw. Not sure if it is the same for pg.

edit: not sure if it is Nicotine. just re:read the original question. not sure what the contents of the film is, just that there is one.

Go blow a few vapes on a mirror & decide for yourself!!!!

The only film I have ever noticed is a clear film on windows, quite similar to condensation. Not the disgusting yellow film that cigarettes leave behind on the walls, windows, and appliances...

Thanks everyone...guess we will continue to vape outside Now...for this burnt taste, off to post another question!

I vape high VG liquids while sitting at my computer for hours every day. I haven't noticed anything. Certainly doesn't seem to be a problem that would require me to vape outdoors.


*ETA*

I tried the mirror trick. It left a lot of condensation, but a few minutes later the patch I had been blowing vapor onto was just as clean and clear as the rest of the mirror. If it does leave a film, it must take a while.
