I know how bad the tar in cigs is for electronics and it kills me to see smoke wafting over my laptop. But I wondered what effect the vapor would have. I'll be vaping soon for the first time (other than a cigalike) and I know I'll be doing it while on the computer. Anyone have experience with this, or just some general knowledge about it?

I don't think it would be bad unless maybe you are directly blowing clouds on it...... I usually vape in my living room when at home and have noticed no adverse effects on any of my electronics.
Nobody has a clue yet. It took decades before anyone took the link between cigarette smoke and premature computer death seriously.
You'll get twenty people leaping into this thread saying "No, it's definitely fine. Vaping is good for your pets, your wallpaper and your soul", a couple saying "My computer broke three days after I bought a new Ego!!! Coincidence?!!?!", and a couple more saying "We haven't a clue. But on balance, it probably doesn't do them any good."
We haven't a clue. There is no data.

lol, love your response. Well better an unknown danger than a known one. I think.

I agree
I don't let it bother me in the slightest. The only thing I'd expect it to prematurely damage would be optical drives, really (edit - and laser mice / trackballs). Whether to any significant degree, I can't say - probably not if you clean them properly. How many people do you know that clean them properly, rather than throwing them away as soon as they error?
But I doubt it does anything else any good, either. Does it leave a film? Does that film insulate, make things hotter?
Who knows. I'm healthier though, and if that kills a laptop on average ~1 month before its 'due date', so be it...

lmao, when I saw your post, I flashed back to one of the politicians, Rummsfield I believe.
As far as my laptop is concerned the worst that's gonna happen vaping around it is that I've formed a vape film over all the stuff produced from smoking while I used it.
And now that I think of it, since I've quit the analogs so has my laptop.

I've been vaping almost five years. Never had a computer go bad from the vapor.
i used to smoke one and a half packs a day... AND had 6 cats.
I'm not worried about vapor.

With the rate at which electronics are becoming obsolete you will probably need a new one to run or do "X" before it would kill it.
just my opinion.

A PC probably contains more moisture through ambient humidity than a e-Cig will throw out. Plus you are suppose to use a can of air duster to blow the dust out. And that stuff is really Cold and wet.
And I use my air duster spray to clean my mods out too.

4 to 18hrs a Day on my laptop
Had to do the typical spritz and wipe twice. Mostly to remove typical dust and environmental collection. That is much less than I ever had to clean it when I smoked.
Nice to have clean un-stinky things.
