Nicotine stains?

[GaG8tor]

Don't know if this is the right place. But just wondering if vaping stains windows, teeth, etc. the same as smoking. Or if the stains from smoking are actually from nicotine or the thousands of other chemicals in cigarettes?

The stains are from tar and burning chemicals, tobacco and paper. vaping may leave a coating or film from the VG. Not a stain and easy to clean.

My thought is the staining comes from the tar in cigarettes.

The stains are from the tar. I did a complete deep cleaning after I quit smoking in my car and house and have had no evidence of staining in over a year. Plus it smells a lot better!

Thanks all. Haven't smoked in my vehicle or home in 10 years since my daughter was born. Now think I'm gonna treat myself to a teeth whitening

We moved into our new home almost 5 years ago (Feb 9, 2009). Never smoked in here but have been vaping in here for over 2 years. I am sitting on a bar stool in the kitchen area (my favorite place to ECF). I have painted white cabinets. They are still just as white now as they were the day we moved in here. Had I been smoking in here they would be yellow/brown by now.

I really like your kitchen window!

Like everyone else has said - it's all the tar and burning combustibles from smoking that's the source of all that staining. When it comes to tooths I saw differences right away just from brushing. Amazing how much smoking contributed to plaque build up. Cleanings at the dentist are so much easier to survive now.

I never smoked in my house or cars but now with vaping I do.

As for my teeth they are bright white and my dentist couldn't believe that I was a 2 pack a day smoker. But there was another thread on ECF that I read from members stating that since vaping there teeth have gotten whiter.

I spilled 24mg juice on my parents beige couch once... Soaked up the excess, added some water to help absorb the rest and any possible stickiness... No stain, but there WAS a bright, clean spot until it evened out with use.
