Been vaping a little four months and no signs of anything yet! Especially the lingering, horrible smell! I think that could be a tell tale sign in itself.
Vaping in your house

yes. I have a friend who lived in an old house with little to no air circulation, and he used to smoke pretty heavy in his upstairs bedroom. I've seen orange plastic (disc drive faces, crt monitors...) that used to be white.
+1 with this. I feel like if I ever relapsed back to analogs, I would smoke twice the amount I did originally. The convenience of vaping and satisfying my urge anywhere I want has strengthened my nicotine addiction.
Oh man...if somebody ever came up with a vape that smelled like #9, I'd vape it by the gallon.
My current apartment is in a non-smoking complex, and while there's nothing in the lease about ecigs, I haven't pushed the issue with them, as they tend to come down on the wrong side of issues, and can be somewhat heavy-handed about things - we all received a note on our doors recently about "someone is smoking [something illegal]! And it's illegal! If you smell it, report it!" - which besides being insulting, made me even more convinced to not push the issue with them. I vape indoors, I just don't do it with the door open, or out on the balcony. My vaping has not done any damage that I can see, and I run an air cleaner with an ionizer for pollen and dust, anyway. My neighbor said she never smells anything. I keep things pretty clean, and I'm not noticing anything on bookshelves or on my monitors (i run a large monitor, an iMac, and a 24" Wacom monitor). The last time I cleaned the vents on my computer, they were spotless. I wash the windows twice a year, and they're pretty clean.
Speaking of, the last time I cleaned a laptop that was used in a house I smoked in, it was scary how gunked up the cooling vents were with tar.

I'm pretty new to vaping.. also never smoked indoors, but vape all day inside! I haven't personally noticed any problems. One non-smoker asked me not to vape around her because it bothered her (not in the same way as smoke!), but she's pretty sensitive and has allergies. I also use 100% VG, so 'thicker' clouds..
nothing on the walls or anything like that. just in the windows of my car at times. also make sure to get some ventilation going in the room that you are vaping in. The other night while i was studying i didnt open my windows in my room and my smoke alarm was set off because of all the clouds I was making lol.
no noticable stains in the house ,though have noticed dificulties watching television through the vape haze!
I work from home so during the week I'm in my home office vaping/working (in that order) pretty much all day. Haven't noticed anything whatsoever, and that includes on my computer monitors which receive the brunt of my exhaled vapor all day.

I'm very particular about my home. I never smoked in it. I've been vapeing for over a year in it. Absolutely no negative effects here, and all my walls are painted white. No odors, no residue on the paint or furniture. I don't even think about it anymore.
Vaping in the house instead of having to go outside to smoke was one of the benefits I used to convince my hub to give up the stinkies along with me - it became a super-effective argument once winter hit (picture me vaping indoors, nice and warm, waving to him while he shivered on the patio!) We both vape *a lot* indoors, and I've seen no buildup at all. It also doesn't bother my dogs or my parrot at all, and parrots are very sensitive to even trace toxins. In my car, I notice it on the windows when it's cold, but I think that's mostly liquid condensation with the windows closed - it's nothing like the nasty brown film that used to build up with smoking even with the windows open.
I vape like a mad man in my home, nothing building up on my walls that I can see
My husband and I have both been vaping in the house for almost 7 months now. We never smoked inside.
The ONLY effect I've seen is that since it has been cold, the window in the office we share (and spend most of our time in) got covered in a film. It's white and looks just like when your mirror fogs up when you take a shower. Comes off easily with windex.
Also, this has only been in the cold weather and has happened in our cars too. The monitor I blow vapor on all night is absolutely fine, so now doubt this is temp and/or moisture related.
We both lay in bed and watch TV and vape.. it's great!

I vape in my house and both vehicles. I haven't noticed any film at all anywhere. There will be build up from cooking and just general stuff in the air but unless you are fogging up the house or your car, I wouldn't lose any sleep over it. As a sidebar, the stink in my truck from smoking has finally gone away! That is a plus within itself!
None... not even around the spot where I chain vape all day every day (retired.) I use white printer paper on top of my mouse pad, sit about three feet from my computer monitor (big screen) which is in a corner made by white walls. No build up whatsoever on any of those including my monitor nor on the white blinds I'm even closer to.
Edit: Ooops forgot to say that's for a year and a half + a little.

Are two answers a statistically significant sample? Good enough for me
Thanks!
This works for the politicians.
And to actualy answer the question. I have not noticed any buildup on my walls in over a year of vaping.
