Vaping / eliquid residue being left behind on windows and lungs

[CassiusCloud]

My car smells like Ripe Strawberries this week..
Last week it was Green Apples..
It sure would be nice if new car smell was something that would taste good..But you just know that would be a nasty harsh vape

I haven't seen any residue on my windows I vape 50/50 0 nic

I would respectfully disagree that vapor is not hot. Depending on the resistance of the coil , current and airflow the temperature of the vapor coming off the coil can vary from cool to extremely hot.
This is the focus of an impending study by Dr. Faustino and the function of the new Evolv DNA40.

Is it burning your mouth?

I just started to notice the residue on my car windows this week. I do think it is temp related as CO as been super cold this week and I have been vaping in my car since the start of Sept and never noticed it before. I use a Norwex microfiber cloth to wipe the windows down and then follow up with the glass cloth. Came off super easy!

I get the residue both in my car and on the window of my office right next to where I vape. Only happens in cold weather and will come off with windex.

I've been vaping 50/50 in a car that has never been smoked in the last few weeks, noticed some residue on the windshield the last few days, not nearly as bad as the smokes used to do but it is definitely there. It sure does smell better than the cars I used to smoke in though, that's for sure. It also had been cold the last few days, that may have something to do with it as well.

I carry a roll of paper towels in my car. That way I can vape in the car and if the window gets too much vape coating to see clearly, I have the paper towels right there to wipe it off. Its kind of a pain though. I try to have the windows down significantly when I am vaping, but its getting cold outside so I just crack it and deal with having to wipe it occasionally.

It might be off topic, But my wife and I have been living in our RV since December 31st of 2013.We love it but we keep ending up in Ohio for the winter months. I think we are doing it backwards.

This is still off topic but, no you don't have to be insane...but you do have to be insane to fit two grown adults and a lab and a retired racing greyhound into a travel trailer. But because I work at the resort...8 months of free rent so far, plus a full-time job. I'll take it. Love the idea of no lease. Planning on Moving to Gatlinburg in the next year...doing it backwards here, too...wshanncap

BTW I rubbed the film off with the sleeve of my hoodie while at a light after reading this thread. Long lights. Don't try with your lungs.

People can use their lungs to wipe the film off the windows??? Wouldn't that just leave sticky, wet lung prints on the glass? lol

I got into vaping through a friend of mine who made the switch over the summer. I noticed when I was in the car with her in the summer, there was little-to-no film/gunk on her windows at all--reinforced by her celebrating when it came time to clean her windows and there was no cigarette smoke build-up to worry about. But, now that we're approaching the winter months and the temperatures have plummeted, I've noticed that SOME of the vapor seems to cling onto the windows? It's nothing too serious, considering a little bit of Pledge Multi-Surface and a microfiber towel took it right off, even after letting it build up for a few days. We vape in her car quite heavily, several days a week. Her juices are typically high in PG and nicotine whilst mine are 100% VG and mild nicotine.

So I don't know any of the sciences behind this, but part of me wants to say the temperature has something to do with this?

If you live in a climate that gets to -50 Celsius like i do, you'll notice that even exhaling normally in a car leaves a residue on the windows that you have to clean off or it just smears everything up. lol

@ckquatt
with brand-new vehicles you can get some film build-up from plastics off-gassing even without smoking or vaping

With all the dust & the heat in Indonesia, vapor film will be like snowdrops here........which never happened.. LOL
But I do spot some juice left inside my RDA every now and then.. is it the same thing?
