Vapey Windows....

[e-pipeman]

Curious. I cleaned the windows in the front room of my house (my main vaping room) a week before Christmas. By Christmas day they had a coating on them like a fine greasy condensation. Anything to do with vapeing,perhaps? Anyone else noticed anything similar?

I've had a greasy, filmy buildup on the computer screen where I vape all day. We absorb most of the nicotine in an inhalation, but the exhalation is mostly PG and water. It's kinda oily.

Some have wondered if this buildup might be occurring in our lungs -- and what long-term effect that might have.

... I don't clean my windows

 

[freddo]

that can;t be good for your lungs:S Lolll

 

[Tetsab]

Oh damn, and there was me thinking that next time I cleaned mine they'd STAY clean inside for a while and I might not need to use industrial strength car glass cleaner next time!!!

Will watch for others' experiences even if I can't actually contribute anything useful myself at this point.

this reminds me of an experiment i tried a couple weeks back. I was blowing uninhaled vapour into a plastic bottle and trapping it inside to see what residue was left behind. I got bored and didn't carry on. might try it again...properly lol!

The way I look at it, it's all part and parcel. No, we don't know the long term effects, but we do of smoking regular cigs. Not a quandary in my mind; I'll take the chance

Erm...this is the thread about windows...

 

[ZambucaLu]

Well there was talk about lungs and long term effects, wasn't there?

Merely responding to that.

No problem - but this is a thread about windows and vapour, not lungs and vapour. Just trying to keep it on track....

 

[Mr.Darcy]

yes Ex...ive noticed a greasy film can eventually build up on my computer monitor and TV screen...like Kate,my windows have always been greasy...

i seem to recall that this was discussed way back,but i cant find the posts...sorry mate...

 

[Kate]

I wonder if this has anything to do with glycerine rather than propylene glycol, it's said to leave a sticky residue.

 

[Mr.Darcy]

as we know,glycerine produces more visible vapour on exhale,and it stays suspended in the air for longer...so i expect its reasonable to assume it probably leaves more residue than PG...but PG also left it before i started using glycerine...
