I live in a bungalow. This year I've noticed an increase in the condensation and damp in our property. It could be this year's climate but I was wondering if my indoor vaping for the past year could cause excessive condensation.

Any thoughts from any of you lovely people?

No, but we've had new windows so it could be that, or the weather, or the vaping. I'm just wondering whether it's going to be one of the downsides of indoor vaping.

could well be the windows fella plus a tiny bit of the vaping.
all the liquid we put up into the air through vapour/steam be that from cooking,drying washing,fishtanks,breathing,vaping has to go somewhere. the more we make our homes as air tight as possible in the name of energy saving the less ventilation there is so that vapour will condensate on cold surfaces eg windows,bathroom tiles ect
 
There's two of us vaping in this house and we get more vapour from the kettle than our ecigs (depends upon how much you vape and how much tea you drink of course), but we have a very leaky house.
 
Unlikely to be your vaping imo. However, it's a good opportunity to buy yourself a dehumidifier. They are ace.

Energy saving? Mrs knome told me the airtightness was to keep the spiders, flies and moths out.
 
Much as it goes against the grain to reply, with sensibility, to one of your posts knome ( :D ) but the new windows are more than likely the contributing factor, new fangled double glazing is very air tight.
Alternatively, maybe your missus has, at last, learned how to cook hot food?

Currently trialling a supply of Poundland damp traps. Will look at dehumidifiers after we've upgraded the kitchen.
