Does the vapor exhaled from an e-cig leave any sort of residue?

I haven't noticed any personally, but I was wondering if anyone has any problems with it caking on the inside of their car windows or discoloring or otherwise impacting their furniture, clothing, etc.

I think it's safe to say that, regardless, it won't do these things to the extent an analog would. But I'm still curious if anyone has noticed anything like this with e-cigs?

I think there would have to be SOME but I think its probably on the molecular level and nothing we could see or feel.

But there hasn't been an analog smoked in my car in over a month now and I havn't cleaned the tar off my windows yet so who am I to say lol

The very day I realized I wasn't going to be smoking analogs any more, I took my car and got it detailed to get rid of that nasty smell and caked-on carbon. Then I came home and deep-cleaned my house (which must have been a mood thing; I didn't smoke in my house).
 
I was wondering this too, I've been vaping in the house for over 6 weeks now and haven't noticed anything,

It's strange though, I use straight VG so I get alot of huge vapor clouds hanging in the air, but haven't noticed it clinging to anything like smoke does.:)

Hi Micki, I seem to following you tonight!
I did feel sticky when I first started vaping, but it has now gone! Could have been a result of kicking analogs though..the toxins leaving my skin. Who knows. But I have never smelled or felt anything on or around where I vape (mostly the computer Area).
Hubby gets a whiff of chocolate now and again when he sits close..lol
 
The only place I notice anything is in my studio where I do my cart filling and mixing. There is sometimes an odor -- albeit a pleasant, sweet odor -- in the mornings when I first come in. I realize this is not residue, rather the smell of drained atomizers, my wiping towel, and a few drips here and there. Nothing a good wipe with a sponge or spritz of windex won't remove.

I was sitting in my living room tonight watching a huge plume of vapor from my 510 -- so much more now that I'm cutting my liquid 60/40 with VG -- And wondering if I was going to have a sticky sweet fly trap in a few months.

I'm glad others confirm what I'd hoped: Nope.

: )
