Thick layer of residue / film on living room windows.

[teos55]

It's been 10 months of vaping and recently I've noticed a film layer / residue on my livingroom's window. The other strange thing is that, this happens also for the other room's windows as well even they are far away from living room, after a 2-3 days of vaping. Steam machine helps to remove it but why this happens is still a mystery for me. I'm vaping Alienvisions Boba's Bounty recently, before I was vaping Joyetech e-liquids and others and never noticed such thing.
Are there anybody facing this issue ? (maybe in the car or elsewhere)
If it's because of e-liquid ( I'sure it is ) , what happens internally in the body

Are you sure it is the vapor? I have been using my PV in my truck religiously and have had no issue like this. I know that when i smoked, i would get film on my windows but we all know what that is. I am anxious to find out. I find it hard to believe it is residue from the vapor. Does it have any coloring to it when cleaned off? There may be something else in the house that is causing it (cooking, candle burning, residues from burning heating oil). It is cold outside and keeping the windows shut may have something to do with it as well. Please keep us informed!

Without all that smoke in the air you can actually see what a mess smoking was making of your place. No stop posting and go clean the house already.


Bet you can smell things better now too.

I'm almost sure it is vapor residue. ( no candle burning, no heating oil etc.). I've noticed it very recently and the weather is quite cold outside ( not as cold as USA though around 5-10 degrees C )

It's colorless/foggy and the best way to clean it, is steam machine vapor and viping.

I have the same on the inside of my windshield. If it helps, I vape VG-heavy liquids, and my atomizers generally produce hefty clouds. In cold weather, it seems to condense on cold shiny surfaces.

P.S.
Makes me happy that PG and VG are not conductive. I'd imagine the same residue, to a lesser extent, is on the inside of my computer, just like cigarette tar used to be.

I have noticed my car window shield gets slightly foggy after a while. Could be due to the vapor, not really sure what else could cause it. I just wipe it down once in a while. I doubt there is anything harmful in the stuff, it's just a little annoying. But it's a lot better than dealing with ash all over the place!

Quote "what happens internally in the body?"

Well, as for me... the Doc say I'm in much better shape than I was 5 years ago...
And, I believe it's because I don't have any of the death stalkers (cigs) stuck
between my lips any longer... and instead choose the pleasures and enjoyments of vaping.

If I thought for one moment VAPING was damaging my body... and I was purposely hurting me
I would quit vaping altogether.

For sure I'm much better shape than before, especially after a 30 years of smoking, 3 packs a day. ( lately the light ones though)

But, why this happens bothers me somehow. It's been 10 months of vaping and this began to happen very recently and can be condensation due to colder weather conditions.

I think someone recently said it was something to do with the cold weather - which is why we don't see if in warmer parts of the US.

Could be a condensation effect. It could have a LOT to do with the liquid you're using. Liquids with darker colors will leave a slight residue over time. Combine something like Halo's Voodoo with the moisture in the air bring drawn to the windows and condensing, it could very well leave a layer of residue.

I'm guessing that it has a similar effect as a humidifier? We run one in the winter and it will leave a steam flim on the windows.

This is interesting. Being new to vaping I was looking forward to being able to leave the bottle of glass cleaner at home when traveling.

I wonder if the sweeter VG juices are responsible? (I'm 50/50 or thereabouts).

Higher VG concentrations are reported to leave a film behind. Here's another discussion about film on vehicle windows. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/general-e-smoking-discussion/469690-vapor-film.html

I get film on my car windows.

I am trusting that my lungs clean themselves quite well enough, unlike my windows.

Since Boba's is VG and dark in color, I think your assumptions are correct. Condensation . Smiling, when thinking about our bodies, they are not cold, as the weather ))
