Vaping in car

[leekeylee]

Hi all,

UK vapour here, I was wondering what you guys use on your windscreen inside your car to stop a build up and misting/smearing on your screen and internal windows

I am finding if I clean the inside of my windscreen with soapy water and a leather to get it clean within a few days it is misting back up again

Thanks in advance for your responses

I always crack my window, no problems with build up.
I also blow my vape toward the cracked window.

Sunroof. Tipped up at the rear. And don't blow giant cloudz in the car.

I always kept the window cracked down to help keep the smoke out and the same works for vaping. I've never done anything special to clean it beyond the usual car wash stuff.

I usually have to wipe my windows down once every 2-3 weeks due to the VG build up on my windows from vaping. Normally this only happens in the winter time though, during the summer I don't have many issues at all. I really haven't found a way around the build-up on the windows.

Even if I crack my windows slightly it normally still builds up. I'd rather have a small buildup that I have to clean off then freeze my a** off in my own car while I vape with the windows down more than a crack.

Dawn dish soap followed by windex. The windex alone just smears the VG around.

There was a long thread on this recently with a bunch of options but I cannot find it.

I've posted about this more than once. I've used vinegar, rubbing alcohol, and several types of window cleaner and no matter what I do I end up having to scrub my windows several times to eliminate all of the smearing and streaking.

My solution?...

I no longer vape in my car, except for maybe a low-volume device like a pod or Juul, and even then it's hold-the-vapor-in-till-there's-nearly-nothing-to-exhale-even-with-the-window-down.

Not worth the time or effort.

It is worth my effort. So worth it. I don't even crack a window most of the time, because it interferes with my awesome music going on and etc.

Of course, when my son had asthma, that was the one place I could never stop smoking either. The car. I always pretty much had a non smoking house, but I couldn't beat the car.

I felt so bad about it because of his health issues , but I just couldn't darn it. I felt even worse when as an adult, he told me that he was repeatedly questioned by adults and peers about being a smoker, because he smelled like smoke.

Vive vaping! And the other good harm reduction methods available to us and to each his own but if I couldn't do some serious deep breathing in my car, I doubt it would be possible for me to remain CALM in a car. I think.

If cancer, a heart attack, and neglecting my own child weren't going to stop me, I sincerely doubt some smeary windows are going to stop me vaping and etc.

I've tried all sorts. What works best for me is Dawn. Wash then wipe with a clean microfiber cloth. Right now it's 12F outside so I just live with weekly cleaning.

Some folks have said a dilute alcohol solution works pretty well. Never tried that though.

To me the key is to wash then wipe with a clean dry cloth. Anything that dissolves it will just evaporate and leave the VG in place.

Vape clouds cause Cheech & Chong syndrome inside the automobile.

One thing I liked about vaping at first was it was practical to avoid the deafening "wrrrrrrrr" noise of the cracked window to vacuum cigarette smoke out while driving.

I'm not a clouder so build up is not really an issue. I have hearing loss in my left ear from driving left hand drive vehicles with the window cracked for years. It's nice and peaceful now. Sometimes I will crack the passenger window at times I see my exhale looming around the windshield.

My Step-mother taught me the Dawn solution for cleaning smoke residue from the car windows and also the house windows. As far as the leather in the car, I used Armor All Leather Cleaner.

Use low vg juice, clean windows maybe once a year, no real buildup!

 

[4mehealth]

I use Stoner's Invisible Glass cleaner and a microfiber cloth. That works well for me. Not too much effort.

On item that helped me (decrease the frquency/ amount of buildup) was to keep a sock of kitty litter silica in the car. That helped suck up some of that moisture from my vape.

I use those nano towels from amazon pack of 4 for $25. first got it for my iMac glass it was so annoying to clean would always take off glass then clean it and put it back and would always see streaks so it was like a 3 or 4 time process. I started using these towels and they work great so I keep one in the car and works great at removing the haze and doesn't smear it, and it can even be used dry which makes it very convenient

This and I use invisible glass to clean. It always seems to build back up though. Just one of those things you have to keep up with.

Vape in my car like I smoked. No different to me.

 

[Frenchfry1942]

Crack the window, increase the fan and limit the VG.

I don't remember when I cleaned the rear side of my motorcycle windscreen last.

Mr Clean Magic Eraser followed by Zep Foaming Glass Cleaner because I don’t have a sunroof and love some giant clouds in the car. (I do crack the window because, well, it’s generally a good idea to be able to see where you’re going )

And, I’m with @stols001 on this, it is so worth it

 

[Rossum]

I don’t have a sunroof

I find the lack of a sunroof disturbing.

Seriously. I own one car without a sunroof and the fact that it doesn't have it annoys me like the lack of vent windows did when those went away.
