Am I nuts or is that window film in my car from the propylene glycol and/or vegetable glycerin? Do I now have a slick film on my bronchii?
Or am I now just well-lubricated?

Yes I too notice the film on the windows from vaping. 
I have to clean them more often. I'll take the film over smoke.

I haven't noticed but I used to notice a brown film on my windows when I was a smoker
you are not nuts,,that film is from VG...check the inside of your drip tips sometime,,actually kind of gross
When your window defoggers are not clearing the windows any longer, it's time to get out the windex and clean off the glycerin.
I've noticed it. . .more when I used >% VG. Since I cut back to 25/75 PG/VG It takes a couple weeks for my inside windshield to get the thick/oily haze on it. Also, I had greater nasal drip when using higher % VG. Still there, but not as bad with the PG/VG blend. We are all really just "willing Lab Rats" using this stuff you know. JMHO

Film is from VG - my jeep windows film up regularly. Only concern I have over that is - I don't vape in the house - don't want that film getting into electronics like flat screen and receiver, blu ray player, etc.
I'd be curious to know if it builds up in the lungs too. Even if it is "just water" I don't think build up of water in the lungs is good either. I think they call that drowning. LOL Ok that was a joke, but really does it build up? I vape around my kids thinking it's completely safe. Even my 3 month old baby. More worried about their health than my own. I was a PAD smoker but never around the kids. Also i notice my lungs ache in the morning after vaping too much. Especially since I found this Butter Cream Icing from KBV that I can't put down. When I go to vape in the morning it hurts like it does if I had smoked too much the night before. I know it's kind of off subject but anyone else have this? Also, while I'm way off subject, why does spell check keep telling me "Vape" isn't a properly spelled word?
I guess because "vape" is a slang term shortened from "vaporize."
I think the same thing! Are my lungs well lubricated? I'd like to think the lubrication helps rid the lungs of the nasty stuff analogs left behind. Have you ever seen a smoke room, you know, a break room designated for smokers, at work. We had them at the casino I worked at. They went from blue walls to yellow, then a dark brown after only a few months. Imagine our lungs when we smoked analogs compared to now, I'd like to think I'm cleaned out.
I started with 100% VG. I just thought it was safer/healthier than PG. After the first time I cleaned the film off my windshield I started using 50/50 to 80/20 PG to VG ratio. I barely get any build up now. I feel the mixes I use are a bit better for my lungs than straight VG. JMHO.
I'm using 50pg/50vg and cleaning off the inside of my windshield once a week or so. Too bad the rear window defogger isn't an atomizer, I hate crawling back there - the angle to reach the window is a .

My lungs hurt in the morning, too. And I still cough up stuff. I haven't smoked a cigarette in 2 months. Just vaping. I am wondering if vaping is all that safe.
Probably the safest thing to do is to quit altogether. If you can't do that, you know it's safer than cigarettes.
I don't cough up anything and my lungs do feel OK. They didn't when I vaped high VG. I run and my lungs felt really heavy. I read in the health section that a few other people that run experienced the same thing. This is just anecdotal, I don't know if it's really related or not.
Overall, I feel great- much better than when I was smoking. My mother is off one bp medication and one inhaler since she started vaping.

That pretty much sums it all up in a nutshell. I usually go with 35% VG and I just blew a puff into a Kleenex ... nothing compared to the brown slick spot left by a cigarette. Still though, a breath of air is purer than a breath with PG, VG, and flavorings added.
Way back when everyone was still using 510's and screwdrivers and passthroughs were the big thing, I remember there being a thread about some butter flavorings used in popular e-liquids actually facilitate the production of tumors. That scared the .... out of me so I stopped using my butter flavored VG I had gotten from walmart, and I remember my throat and my lungs stopped aching.
