cskent Vaping Master ECF Veteran

I vape in front of my computer all the time and have yet to notice a film on anything. I also vape in my car quite a bit. In the winter, with the windows rolled up, there's a haze that builds up on the windows that needs to be cleaned off periodically. It didn't happen before I started vaping in there, so my guess is that's what causes it.
