Silly topic, I know but just wondering if anyone else has any issues with this too.

I used to smoke all the time in my car. I now vape all the time in my car. It's been warm-ish so I've been vaping with my sunroof or driver's window open but last night, I was driving back home after 8PM and was vaping happily away with my windows closed as it was pretty brisk outside by then. I started to notice my rear windshield was fogging up pretty good. Front didn't seem to have TOO much buildup but nevertheless, noticed the base starting to do the same. Cracked the windows for 5-10 minutes and good to go.

Yes, my glass is clean. I'm pretty OCD when it comes to car care & maintenance. It's not a real "problem" but was just wondering, has anyone else had this issue? What do YOU do to prevent it?

Anyways, cheers!

The vaper you put out will hang in the air for alittle bit, just like smoke. It dissipates quicker than smoke, and dosen't leave the film on the glass like the tar in analogs would. I just crack my side window ever so slightly, and I'm good. It's either that, or hold when you inhale so less vaper comes out of your mouth (like when you stealth vape).

I sometimes have that problem whether I'm vaping or not just due to humidity.

The PG in our juice attracts moisture so I guess it makes sense that it might help fog up the glass a little extra.

Outside of cracking the window or using the defrost, I doubt there's much else that can be done about it. It sure beats the crap out of having the yellow film and the stench from smoking.
