Residue

[Maggie B]

Hello everyone. I'm so glad to have found you. I have been vaping for nearly 2 years now and love it. The main thing is that I never cough anymore. I do have an issue though that I am hoping someone can help me with. Firstly I find I get quite an odour on my clothing and also a residue on my cups and other dishes and pans. I am finding it almost impossible to get rid of especially on the dishes and pots and pans. I know a lot of others who vape but none who have this same problem. Anybody here know what I'm talking about ? Any tips on how to wash it off ? I think I have already tried every detergent known to man

I don't vape in my kitchen; just my vape room, but I get a terrible film on the windows of my cars- only really in winter, though. I clean it off in the mornings with a wet chamoise and carry a can of Wndex and paper towels in the vehicles to clean the windshield at night. I imagine Dawn will get it off of glass wear; it cleans oil off of ducks... About the smell, Ozium...

Hi Stevegmu. In fact I never vape in the house - because of the odour and residue issue. I thoroughly wash my hands afterwards too. I do often take a coffee outside with me. So the residue is coming from my hands and coffee mug. I have tried dawn. I wonder if it's possible that I react differently than other people ? Most peculiar and very upsetting. I just can't get rid of it.

If you are outside, then it is a reaction with the cold, same as with the windows of my car. The film is horrible. Doesn't happen when it is above freezing. The cold does something with the PG or VG...

Well that might solve some of the problem. Actually I leave my chargers plugged in a back room off my house that is barely heated. This is where my stuff sits overnight !! Also where I store my liquids

I'll buy a new bottle tomorrow and store everything differently. Well worth a try
