Vaping while driving - dirty windows?

I haven't had any issues with it. Most of the film on windows was from the tar and smoke. As in a house where you have smoked for years, you take down a picture that has been hanging for a few years and there is a white square and the walls look a little yellowish. Tar and smoke put a thin film on the walls and they do your windows in a car the same.
I'll get a little film, seems to be more with higher vg%, a lot easier to clean than the cig smoke film.
Yes and no. When I first started vaping, my car windows got really filmy and greasy very fast. The exhaled vapor clinged to the residue from when I smoked in my car previously. Take a good glass cleaner and some newspaper and clean the insides of your windows really good. Once you get rid of the tar that's from the old smoke, the vapor has nothing left to stick to and takes a lot longer to create a film that's really easy to wipe off. Since my first good cleaning, I've not had any more problems.
I didn't smoke much in the car so this must be the reason why I didn't have much trouble with the vapor residue.
No not that I am aware of I have vaped and driven on numerous occasions with no problems
No problems here but I don't spend too much time in the car. But I do vape at least 8-10 hours a day with my computer on my lap and I haven't had an issue at all with that.
Not only that but the dust in my house is no longer orange and sticky and my bathroom walls don't bleed that yellow nasty crap after a shower. (I cleaned all the walls and windows in my house shortly after I quit smoking and let me tell you what--it was absolutely disgusting. Beyond disgusting.) So if the vapor does leave a residue, I will gladly trade that for any residue left by smoking.

I never had this problem with smoking or vaping, but now that I vape and leave the windows rolled up, my windows tend to get very foggy at times.
It does happen, esp. with high VG stuff... I noticed after a week of vaping a 100% VG liquid that not only was my car windows/computer monitor covered in 'vg film' I also noticed that my face would be covered in the same film every night... actually caused me to break out a little bit.. but I also noticed it REALLY helps my skin retain moisture... but i don't really like it.. i imagine the same thing happens in your lungs (this is why people report hacking up a lot of clear phelm after vaping 100% vg stuff for awhile) and this is why i prefer PG over VG..
Wow, really?? I did not know that could happen
I've been wondering why I've been breaking out more. I thought it was just perspiration caused from the intense heat. Especially on my nose. My nose stays increasingly moist throughout the day no matter what I do to keep it clean. How can you tell whether or not it's being caused from the vaping? Like, how do I know whether it's from perspiration or from vaping film?
Acne is also a symptom of quitting cigarettes. Your body is expelling the toxins that you've been putting into it, and will continue to expel them for at least a month or two after quitting.
By the way, sore throat is also a common symptom of quitting cigarettes.

I should try that. The VG film really does come off very easily, nothing like cigarette haze (which for me always took multiple rounds of Windex; I lucked out on the car side since I was due for an AC filter replacement just after I stopped smoking, which helped clear the air).
When I first started, I was using 100% VG. I noticed I was getting a film on my windows. BBecause of that I started getting no more than 50% VG, no more film. My thought was if it is doing that to my windows, what is it doing to my lungs. It has been 10 months since I cut down the VG% I have had no more filmy residue.
Since I switched to all VG I do have a residue on my face and my hair feels oily like never before.. the oil on my face in turn causes more acne.. can't vape PG due to throat irritation been vapin since October so the zits and throat pain aren't from quitting cigs. It is what it is... you just can't tell how much is from quitting cigs and how much is the residue until you've been off cigs for a while. Also after I switched to all VG I had a week or so that my face was worse than ever with acne, white bumps, but it subsided some.. don't know if that was from developing technique to blow the vapor farther away from my face or just an adjustment phase. I think there would definitely be a film on the windows but I rarely drive.
You should do a google search for "quit smoking and acne". You'll find lots of references and testimonials of people who have quit smoking and developed really bad cases of acne for years after quitting. Almost all of the results you'll find are from people who have quit smoking using all kinds of methods of cessation, including cold turkey, and are having quit smoking symptoms for years afterwards.
Some of the damage that smoking has done to our bodies will be with us forever. It's a common misbelief that it only takes a month for all the toxins to leave our bodies. Some stay with us a lot longer, and those just might be causing your acne.
I've never had any film problems with vaping and I don't know... I just don't think I'd like to vape anything that has a film. I do get fogging issues but I did with cigarettes, too. Don't know, just never had an issue.
Edit: I forgot to add that I use 80Pg/20Vg mixes when I vape.
