Preventing residue in PC case?

[Superuser187]

Dont blow clouds on PC broooo..

Yes the residue from vaping is hydro friendly and the humidity stucks on it Soo it's bad for electronics but depends also the humidity there is where u live...

If u can't use humidifier then your home air condition may have an option to refresh air without using heating or cooling mode I mean like a "fresh" mode or "clean air" mode that can do pretty good job also...
The other thing u can do is to put filters on all intakes of your case but u maybe need to add more fans in order to have sufficient aiflow...
It's not just PCs but even tvs that don't have fans can be affected...
Just make sure u somehow get rid of the clouds broooooo
Ok u may was not lucky with the graphics card or maybe u blow huge cloud's brooooooooooooooo

I use a tablet. vape hasn't affected it at all.

I don't own a mobile device (other than a laptop) but I don't believe mobile devices have intake/cooling fans to suck in vapor. So that's probably why.

Sorry if you don't like my answer... but I go outside to vape. It's not my house so don't really have a choice anyway.

That's exactly why. The screen gets pretty dirty but that's easy to fix.

If it weren't my house I'd be outside too, but I do like the convenience of being at the computer with vapes (note the plural) at my side, browsing ECF.

U forget the Nubia red magic smartphone that has fan

See this I can work with, although I'm not sure I'd put it next to the computer. Would it not work better to leave it around head height and just blow the vape at it? My setup allows for that. If not I'm not sure where I'd put it by my computer, the intake is around the entire case and there's not much room down there.

Blow the vape towards the Hamilton Beach and it'll filter it, though my DIY one has better total air flow (CFM).

I'm working in our sunroom nowadays, with my own laptop sitting on a cooling pad on a shelf. Just putting a piece of cut-to-size air filter under my cooling pad would likely filter for the laptop.

Simple, for desktop it has to be water cooling.

Use a donor PC case and put radiators, fans and pumps in it and then run tubing to desktop. That's the basic idea, so less fans in the desktop and therefore less gunk hopefully.

Have even seen the idea done with radiators mounted outside, but they were kind of cheating with sub zero temperatures outside.

This is what my HEPA filters from my air purifier look like after around 4-5 months. The entire bottom of them is saturated in vape, you can see it starting to spill out of the unit in the bottom right. That's kind of my que that's it time to clean it lol. Used rubbing alcohol to clean it this time with mild success, there's just too many cracks and crevices that I can't really get well, even with a q-tip. I'll leave it outside for a couple hours to dry out but truthfully it doesn't dry all that well as a little vape gets left behind and that never dries after just a day in sunlight.

At least I know it's doing what I want it to do, get the vape out of the air. But I think I'm going to try and use the small unit mark suggested next to my desk to minimize impact to my aging air purifier. I'd just use both at the same time, maybe turn the small one off when I went to bed.

WOW!!! I Don't think I Have Ever Seen Anything Like That Before.

How many ml's of e-Liquid do you use on an Average Say?

I Imagine it is High VG, right?

Wash them in a bucket of water with dish soap and scrabbing a bit with fingers dish soap is the most effective I have tried so far in cleaning vape juice residue....it
won't be like new ofc and actually ruin the filter and won't hold very small particles but it will continue filter the vape residue tho for few months more hahahah

I'm looking into if our humidifier is A) working and B) not over working but that's kind of a hard thing to figure out. I'm going to get a humidistat. It's only set at 40% but who knows what it's doing.

It used to be less but I'm currently going through about 10 ml a day of max VG liquid so yes that's a contributor I think. My Dad has none of these issues vaping 50/50 in a much more humid climate.

If u vape direct lung or blow your vape close to it then this happens and I have seen worst the only thing I don't like about vaping is that residue...but at least it's not smelly and messy to clean like cigs smoke

Oh I just chuck the filters straight into the trash when they get like this. I was talking about cleaning all of the plastic bits in the unit that are covered in vape when I remove the filters.

 

[UncLeJunkLe]

My small air purifier filter gets the same way. I vape 50/50 RDL. Prefilter gets all wet and sticky but can be cleaned. Main filter has to be trashed, it's"paper".

Oh yeah good then cause normally they are not washable just saying even tho normally those are to be replaced.....the unit is hard to clean need actually to take it apart lol...
I have done that to my sisters once and then took all the plastic parts and washed them...but takes time and depends how it's builded...it's like new after that tho...
