I've seen several posts about this over the last couple of years. I haven't really seen this (in my car) enough to consider it a problem.
Depends on how old your car is. If it is pretty new the vinyl and plastic in the car will out gas and put a film on glass. But I suppose if you vape a whole lot it could it is a vapor and it has to condense somewhere.
I never really thought about it. I don't know if it's the windshield from the tar, or the vape, or the humidity, or are my glasses that dirty. Or the bug guts all over the outside. Oh well set the cruise on 80 and go.
So, I guess this means it's going to build up on all our PC's screens as well?
Makes me wonder what happens in our lungs
I know it's better than all the tar and other crap, but still.. cysts and tumors due to a PG/vegetable ball make me concerned too.

Scrape it off with a razor and collect it in a bottle, disolve with a little vodka and vape it again...

I have seen this ... gets thicker when driving into the sun as the windshield heats up I think... Much much lighter than ciggie smoke I used to get though!!!
Im glad I was thinking cool when I stopped smoking no more annoying cloudy windshields. I cleaned mine off for the last time! Then I started misjudging distances do to I have never driven with a clear wiendshield, making turns to soon running in to things. Thank God Vapor gave me back my cloudy windshield again so I can drive safely!!!!!
Yes, exhaled vapor will leave a hazy film on the inside of auto glass.
I use an all-VG unflavored juice and it leaves a haze. Not much different from smoking cigarettes in this instance.

I'll deal with a dirty windshield and reap the benifits from vaping. The PG/VG is something that's in my medication and also the food that I eat everyday. I'll take my chances due to my lung doctors advice and support. 4 chemicals vs 4000 . Odds are in my favor. And I don't have to do those darn breathing treatments like I use to. I'm living proof. Now for some more water.
I've noticed this as well. It's not quite as bad as smoking was, but I still keep paper towels and windex in my trunk.
I've got this film also.
So what do you guys use to remove it?
Just windex & paper towels?? Is that good enuff?? Anything better than that?

I use the same stuff I use to clean the rest of the car: Blue Coral Concentrated Car Wash. It works so well on glass we now use it on windows in the house. Better than Windex. I use old 100% cotton towels to buff dry.
My pickups windshield and windows have gotten increasingly hazy since I started vaping...it's different from the cigarette funk that I used to get.
I have noticed that it is exactly like the film you get if you have a heater core leaking on your vehicle that uses propylene glycol anti-freeze. I vape mostly 60/40 or 70/30 mixes.

Your heater core could be shot. The film on the windshield may be anti-freeze leaking from it. Is the film all over the windshield, or concentrated more at the bottom, near the defrost vents?

GUNK brand used to make an awesome window cleaner. I think they still do. You can find it in auto shops or auto departments in stores. Comes in an aerosol can. Works really good.
