Well ok, that sorta, kinda seems prepackaged.

haha....right out of a sitcom script
So yes, there is certainly a residue left behind ------ if you are vaping a high end smoke generator
I've washed the walls twice, and each time the humidity from the shower brings more tar out of the paint to run down the walls.I can see that there's going to be several gallons of Killz in my future.
Hey CES, I see you've been hangin around this place for almost 4 years. How'd this problem slip under the radar for so long? We should have a prepackaged answer by now View attachment 265589
A good bit of White Rabbit was hurt, but I hope nothing else was.I hope no animals were hurt during the making of that video.
CASAA has a sub forum here at ECF, why don't you post your questions there and then hurry back with the answers before the popcorn is all gone.so CASAA did this study http://casaa.org/uploads/LibertyStixLabAnalysis072309.pdf
this study claims that the vapor is mostly PG/VG
YET in the CASAA FAQ Electronic Cigarette FAQS
it describes e-cigarettes as such. "They are battery-operated devices that create an inhalable, water-based mist instead of smoke."
do to the hygroscopic propriety of VG and PG there is a large amount of water in the vapor. the water is absorbed from the atmosphere and even some from your body... so Whoop-de-do. but what does that mean? please explain, because clearly i missed something.
also i see no mention of water in this report http://casaa.org/uploads/LibertyStixLabAnalysis072309.pdf
Did a bit of searching prior to this, got some decent answers, but sadly many admit to residue building up (windows in cars for example) due to vaping. It may be easy to clean from what I read, however I have been specifically told by my landlord not to vape (or smoke) indoors due to the possibility of residue building up. I agreed to this and will not break my promise.
Here's the thing though, my landlord will listen to reason, and if I can come up with a way to stop (or severely limit) the buildup, I will likely be able to vape indoors once again.
I did some research on air purifiers/filters, and came to the following conclusion:
- HEPA filter is for bigger particles like dust, allergens, mold, but is not too great vs smoke, gas, odors or chemical fumes
- Ionizer would sort of do the trick, however from what I read it simply makes particles heavier so they fall to the floor. Which is not ideal.
- UVC filter, obviously this would not stop any particles from attaching to the walls etc. Great for killing airborne mold/bacteria though.
- Carbon filtering, this seems to be my best bet, as it is good for removing smoke particles, cigarette smoke, gases, chemicals and odors, and doesn't release the particles back into the air.
I went ahead and purchased this small air filtering unit from Amazon, seems to be well received by people, is less than $20 and it does use carbon filtering: LINK
My plan is to literally blow the exhaled vapor into the device, thus keeping the vapor nearly 100% filtered and, hopefully, dealt with.
I suppose I just want some advice/suggestions on this subject and whether or not PG/VG, flavoring, and nicotine particles would be successfully stopped by a carbon filter. I assume if it can deal with tobacco smoke, it should have no problem dealing with ecig vapor, but I am not 100% sure. Maybe a HEPA filter would be all I need?
I really want to be able to vape indoors again, so any comments/experiences/advice you have, please post it!
You just woke up an old thread. I wonder what the OP decided to do. Not sure if we ever heard that. Now that its getting so cold I'm not sure I'd be wanting to go outside. I've been enjoying that feature of e-cigs at home and at work...especially on day like today in the Midwest.If you went ahead and bought that cute little plug in filter, how is it working out for you?
