Vapor and electronics

[jprior]

Hi all,

As im new to vaping, I am curious about blowing vapor where there is electronic equipment, like a laptop for instance, if we assume that the vapor has to turn to liquid then what are the dangers of blowing directly onto a laptop keyboard, or a computer, anyone have any issues?

I vape in front of my computer at home and at work all day, every day. There is nothing in the e-juice that builds up as far as I know. I wouldn't recommend blowing it inside your computer or laptop. But with normal use, there is nothing to worry about.

As long as you aren't trying to force the vapor into the electronics, it isn't dense enough to cause any failures. You would probably have to blow a lot of vapor directly on a circuit board to cause something.

There's even a device called passthrough which plugs into a usb port on the pc/laptop which allows you to use the battery when you're on the pc/laptop. The vape goes upward so it's obvious that it can't land on a keyboard or monitor. Have fun.

It's no more harmful to the electronics than driving your car in the fog.

I would highly recommend you avoid doing this. A PV battery draws a lot of power and can potentially damage your PC/Laptop. Only charge the batteries in wall outlets.

It depends on the PC that it's charging on. Most modern PCs can accept the load quite easily...older not so.

As to the OP I work at home on PC- 2 keyboards, 2 X desktops and 6 monitors in a semi circle in front of me- 12 hrs per day 5 days per week for over 2 yrs vaping. Screen gets a little dirty but nothing a quick wipe won't cure. I also dismantle and clean my PCs every 6 months- pressurized air.

Unless you have a real POS of a PC or laptop it shouldn't cause any problems.

USB is an electronics standard. ANYTHING that has a USB port should support the exact same voltage and amperage. 5 Volts and 5 amps, regardless of if it's a PC, Laptop, wall adapter, or a USB port in your car. If it doesn't conform to the standard it's not a proper USB port.

There was a thread similar to this about residue build up and a concerned renter / landlord. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...esidue-walls-carpet-etc-need-help-advice.html

That went on for 24 pages worth of debate To my knowledge there will be no buildup of residue on your electronic devices / walls. Your going to make me find that youtube video now where the guy blows a cig into a paper towl and then an ecig...ok back in a few...

Not sure if this is the same one I was referring too seems longer than I remember but ECCR Xtra: Tobacco Smoke vs. Vapor - YouTube

That will give a demo of cig smoke vs vapeing and residue concerns.

I am sitting here writing this to you, while vaping my SVD in front of my laptop. Have been for a while, I think you'll be ok
