Vaping and glasses

[Sanctuary Denied]

Getting older and noticed my eyes weren't quite as sharp as they once were. So I went to the optromatrist and wouldn't you know it, I need glasses. Picked them up two weeks ago and my vape clouds seem to be sticking to my glasses.
I feel like I'm cleaning them constantly and not very well I might add.
Anyone else experiencing this and any recommendations on cleaning practices?

No problem with my glasses. I do not keep my head in the clouds.

Maybe I need to lick the juice off my fingers better.

blow the vapor out of your mount instead of just slowly exhaling? The vapor coming out of my mouth doesn't go near my eyes, although I don't wear glasses.

I exhale through my nose. I never really noticed my glasses getting dirty beyond the norm. Maybe the nose is downward. I don't know.

Well, now that I think of it, we have ceiling fans running and the desert usually has a breeze. In the car, I up the fan and crack the window.

Good topic.

I wear glasses and definitely notice some of this. Especially if the juice is a higher VG juice. Then when that stuff sticks and you try and clean it, it smears more than actually being removed.

Go to the grocery store and pick up some glasses lens cleaner. You can get spray and a microfiber cloth or your can get wipes kind of like wet ones that are meant for glasses. They work like a dream. Mysterious, but like clockwork.

I actually wear reading glasses and have...6, no 7 pairs, around the house/car. For the first 20" I am rather blind. Anyway, about quarterly, my wife will mention running the dishwasher and I will think and grab them all. In the garage I use vinegar-based Windex and a paper towel.

Yeah, I'm usually 70vg or higher.
I think I will give the wipes a go, we have a new puppy that keeps chewing up my spray cleaner. The cat knocks it off the counter and the dog chews it up. Wife's animals, they're just adorable

Glass half empty or glass half full?
Cat, glass on floor.

Yep, that's pretty much how it works.
At least he hasn't figured out how to get into my juice stash.

Our cats are in cahoots with the dogs. We have watched as the cats knock things off the table or counter for the dogs to play with. We have gotten pretty good at keeping things like eliquids and vaping equipment out of reach of any furbabies.

I have not noticed any appreciable problems with my glasses and vaping. I usually use whatever is handy to wipe them off, and once in a while run them under a bit of warm water and use a paper towel to clean/dry them.

Must be small dogs.

I don't need cats to knock things off the tables and counters, my German Shepherd is perfectly capable of reaching them on her own if she wants to.

We have to put our bread in the microwave before we leave the house because she will take it off the counters if we leave it there. We'll come home to chewed up empty bread bags all over the floor. We also have to make sure the pantry door is closed tight or she will help herself to whatever smells good to her. She's particularly fond of sweet potatoes.

The good dog is a full grown Lab/Golden retriever mix, well past puppy age. The puppy is a black Lab/Pit bull mix, chews on everything, as puppies do. The cat I suspect is mental. He came from the she!her, pees in the toilet, poops in my daughters bathtub, and falls off the banister on his head taking anything up there with him.
I think I might try the running my glasses under water technique, its cheap and worth a try.
Got some wipes, their working well and fit comfortably in my pants pockets, but a little expensive.

I clean my glasses by washing them in my dishwater after I'm though with the dishes. Then I rinse them in hot water, which seems to work when it comes to removing VG film.

I started using Zeiss lens cleaner I got for my camera, LCD monitors, etc on my glasses. Since I increased the VG level in my juice I noticed a film on my "windshields" and it is really difficult to get it completely off. I tried dish soap gently rubbing the lenses with my fingers under warm running water but it's a pain in the neck having to dry the lenses AND glasses. With the Ziess in it's spray bottle and the microfiber cloths that came with it all is good now. Couple of shots of sol'n on both sides of the lenses and wipe with the microfiber cloths. I do have to remember to wash the cloths fairly frequently and then hang them on the dish drying rack -- it's amazing how the dirt shows on them..... sort of cracks me up seeing them hanging there..... my "delicates" air drying in the kitchen.....

I adopted a habit from my Dad, of taking my glasses into the shower with me and thoroughly washing them first. I keep an old toothbrush handy to scrub out the residue that always seems to accumulate around the nose pieces ...

After the shower, dry them with TP. Crude but effective ...

Haven't noticed any vape residue on the glasses, or on my home or car windows either ...

I've never noticed this but I do clean my glasses daily.

if your car windows become a problem just take a shower in there. Car wash with windows down.

And if I take the dishes and the dog in there I'll really have something!

I've never noticed any residue on my glasses. But just a few days ago a clients dog chewed mine up I'm presently going without. I have definitely noticed it on the car windows. That stuff is impossible to get off! Now that I think about it I suppose if it does gunk up your windshield it probably does gunk up your glasses!
