Basic chemistry do not allow "boiling pg and VG turn the bulk of it into water".
A vapor you are consuming is just a vapor of PG and VG, hopefully with no products of their decomposition (which can be nasty).
Paint guy is a ..... at least in terms of vaping.
In truth, calling what we inhale from an ecig "vapor" is a bit of a misnomer. It is really aerosolized particles of PG, VG, flavorings, and nicotine. It is not oil, it is not water.
Um... Not quite. There's water in e-cig aerosol. How much depends on the exact composition of a particular ejuice (many manufacturers add water to their ejuices (especially high or 100% VG).
Comparison of select analytes in aerosol from e-cigarettes with smoke from conventional cigarettes and with ambient air - ScienceDirect
"The e-liquids tested were found to contain humectants, glycerin and/or propylene glycol, (⩾75% content); water (<20%); nicotine (approximately 2%); and flavor (<10%)."
"The bulk composition of the delivered aerosol was similar to the bulk composition of the e-liquid."

Fog machine - Wikipedia
"Typically, fog is created by vaporizing proprietary water and glycol-based or glycerin-based fluids (snip). This fluid (often referred to colloquially as fog juice) vaporizes or atomizes inside the fog machine. Upon exiting the fog machine and mixing with cooler outside air the vapor condenses, resulting in a thick visible fog."

Same here, I was remembering that term from high school and it referred to long hard deep drags on a cigarette when we were hiding out in the bathroom with only 5 minutes between classes and your next class was across campus. Ha, remember that long hard ember burning on the end and almost flash frying the filter
Me too. Maybe I need to get out more.
I could only use one rating. However, I agree with the "Err...why?" Indeed, why?
And I like the "Me too..."
I guess I have lived a sheltered life too 'cause I have no idea as to why the warning
To the OP. I think maybe your paint guy needs to study up a bit more. Walls need to be washed before repainting even if the home has never been smoked or vaped in because the walls will eventually get a thin film of accumulated (since I can't think of a better word) stuff on them just from everyday occupancy. Stuff from things such as cooking, showering, forced heat and/or air, humid air filled with dust particles and so on.......

ME thinks someone didn't smoke too many cigarettes in his day to not know what that particular word means.. cause this is why we don't allow others to take a drag off our cigarettes because they ALWAYS do that thing that can no longer be named...
hahahaha
I found it hilarious myself, that we don't know the meaning of the word..the definition is easily found via Quora..

lol... I wouldn't know why your residue would be white. Is there some sort of food coloring in your ejuice? At what wattage do you vape to get so much?
I am not so certain, like the others, why vaping would cause it...at least in that color and quantity.
Yep, you can't have a drag because you will H_ _ B _ _ it. I did find little droplets on the walls of my room where I do the majority of my vaping, I ventured a taste and it was oily and since vape juice is not an oil.... I investigated further and it was my ceiling fan, apparently a bearing went out, so no wall vapor here.
Gofishtix, I applaud and shudder at your willingness to scrape stuff off paint and put it in your mouth.... Although, there's plenty of stuff floating through the Air, I guess.....
I have not noticed any changes in color in my paint since starting vaping (except that the husband painted the living room mint green), it's nice. We purchased this place off a Drug Lord doing some laundering (no joke, the neighbors informed us, no wonder they accepted our considerably under value bid, LOL) and the color scheme leaves something to be desired it's ah, gaudy?
Never mind the "loadbearing walls" that I can poke my fingers into, but it's just astonishingly ugly. We have a really orangy peach going on as an overall theme, bright pink in one bedroom, DARRRK blue in another, and turquoise blue in the master bedroom. I wouldn't mind if vaping changed my wall colors in the slightest, but so far, no dice. Nothing's gonna but starting over with a few coats of primer, LOL.
Smoking darkens paint quite a bit, me and my roommate's room in college was the smoking hangout room, there was usually SOMEONE in there smoking and well, you know, having a nice time. Only the paint was at LEAST three shades darker, as we discovered when removing our posters. I did briefly ponder the implications of this for my lungs, then continued packing so that I could ah, rest with a lovely cold beverage and enter the state of suitably relaxed before my parents showed up to cart me home for the summer, heh.

PS, I do not recommend tasting your walls Now I have an oily taste on my tongue
Now I have an oily taste on my tongue
We recently hired an interior decorator who painted our walls a Mojito Green and then Coral accents. I feel like I live inside a watermelon. She also painted my walls verdigris green even though everything in my room is blue and red and gold.

My husband is still dual using, so there are still some cigarettes being smoked in my house. I have to wash the walls periodically but no longer know if its the smokes or the vaping, or even how much vaping contributes.
But, you have to love paint that is washable! I recommend it, I would hate to have to repaint continually, walls have to be washed, especially around light switches and doorways..
Am I the only one who makes sure to purchase washable paint? lol.. am I the only one who regularly washes walls?
I hope not, typing all this I am starting to sound OCD.. hahaha
