I haven't really checked into this much because I don't know anyone who has been vaping in their house for years, but can e-cgis cause the "film" that sticks to everything like analogs do?

EX: visit a smoker's house and everything is yellow, yellow walls, yellow books, yellow clothing, etc. Smoking indoors or in a car also forms a thin sticky "film" on surfaces. I'm not sure what causes this and if vaping can cause the same issue.

The film with analogs has to do with all the tar and chemicals in it. You don't get much of a film with vapes. Though some does form on car windows when it is cold out if you do a lot of vaping in the car. In the summer you don't really see much. Someone else asked about this on here and others answered. So I am just passing along what I learned from them. Enjoy.

None of that gross yellow tar film with vaping. But as others have said, yes your car windows will get a film on them but it's much easier (to me) to clean because it's not that sticky tar, it's just maybe some PG or VG. A can of invisible glass spray is the bomb!

Yes but the film is minimal. Judging by my car interior windows, which I just cleaned yesterday, the film is about 5% of what cigarettes caused. The film isn't brown on the wash cloth either, it is more of a pale yellow.

Yup, a little shot of Windex does the job perfectly.

I have not noticed any film or buildup on anything attributing it to the fact that I don't have tar in my tooters. Of course it doesn't matter to me if I have to peel a film off the tv screen every other day because after smoking outside for so many years . . . I love vaping in my recliner. Looks like the water vapor would cut down on dust particles in the air but I still find I have to dust quarterly just like it did before I started vaping.
