There's no doubt in my mind that vaping leaves nothing - or next to nothing. I smoked inside and the brown muck I used to clean from windows and walls has completely gone since I started vaping. I also smoked in the car which made a right mess of the windscreen. There isn't even any stickiness now and I vape in the car.
