Smart phones and vaping!

[Bluefish]

Anybody else notice that if you blow vapour over your screen it turns on, well my Galaxy s8 does, lol

[domesticextremist]

If I blow vapour at my Kobo Aura H2O ereader, it warns me that I may have water on the screen.

Never tried that and never noticed

[vapeenthusiast]

I’ve never noticed that to be honest! I’ve just tried on my iPhone 7 but nothing happened lol

Try it with a kindle, it changes the text size.

I've noticed this and find it really annoying, blowing it on my S8 does nothing though.

Its a pain, I'm long sighted, when the text size shrinks I can see nothing but a blur.
Only noticed when sat on a beach.
Never had this problem with cigs/cigars, those pesky vapes.

Since year one I have noticed a film of sticky substance on the study window.
This is the room that I vape most often in and ofcourse it is the only inside window that I don't clean because it is such a hassle to climb over the dammed bookcase to get at it.

The vapour film is not so bad that it would be noticeable to anyone else, but I know it is there and I have known for a long time that there is contamination from exhaled vapour.

Don't have issue with vapor affecting how my tablet or e-reader operate.

But I sure do notice the film buildup on both screens. Seems far worse than ever the smoke build up use to be. Likewise on my reading glasses. They seem to always require cleaning. Ah, well....

...but at least it's mostly PG which comes off with water and a bit of white vinegar, unlike tobacco film which took hours of scrubbing and polishing to remove.

A mate of mine spent a several hour long trip unsuccessfully trying to attach his satnav holder to my windscreen. Once he had given up, the pg on the suction cup also ensured it would no longer attach to his own windscreen. LOL

True enuff... it is far easier to clean off.

The car windscreen...........

[lobeydosser]

<<< The car windscreen........... >>>

Not so much smearing in the car windows apart from "Nose Marks".
Having a dog in the car every time I travel anywhere means that the windows are open for the breeze and therefore there is no build up of vapour.
However the dog likes to have his nose against the window whenever I park and he leaves "nose imprints" all over the darned place.

I do not sub ohm and therefore I produce very little vapour. Yet what little I do produce it is noticeable in certain places.
So I can imagine it would be a problem for those who choose to sub ohm and could lead to interference with electrical products.

I have heard of laptops etc. becoming 'unwell' from a surfeit of VG in their workings, although I use mine whilst vaping at it with, so far, no unwanted happenings.
I am now tasked with cleaning our house windows and mirrors once a week which is no hardship, just 10 minutes with a bottle of glass leaner and a cloth. I also clean my van windows every couple of weeks although like lobeydosser I travel with the window open in all weathers to dissipate the steam from my mod.
It is a small price to pay for enjoying my vaping, I think!

PROTIP:  Use white vinegar, a fraction of the cost and way better!
