Nicotine stains or cigarettes stains ?

[Windymiller]

I'm sure all of us at some point have looked at our double glazed doors or white (were white) walls & thought that needs cleaning. Then when you do clean it it come off in dirty ginger streaks from all of that smoking we used to do. So now we all vape has anyone noticed the same stains from vaping on anything ?

The most you will get is a thin film on plastic/glass, but no worse than your normal dust, from vaping and even then the film is rare.

Stains from e-liquid flavouring on clothing/fabric if you spill, but Nicotine is practically clear and shouldnt stain anything. Especially in vapour form.


When you smoked, the stains you got on walls/fingers/clothing werent from nicotine, that was from Tar and smoke. Not the nicotine.

Vaping doesn't appear to cause noticeable staining on household decor or fitments, but watch this space! With the current trend of vlr (very low resistance) vaping and cloud chasing I'm sure that a lot more folks will start to see a film appear on their windows (and computer LCD screens!)

'Nicotine stains' is one of the phrases the anti smoking lobby have successfully engrained in the public psyche... probably why they can get away with trying convince us nicotine is evil.

I have enough nicotine here that I can do an experiment just to prove nicotine doesnt stain

The stains have definitely gone, but there's still a clear film being left that's noticeable on the inside of the car glass & possibly builds up quicker since I don't feel the need to crank the windows down like I did with the ciggies, also notice it on my glasses when I've at the PC for a few hours.
Sure I read somewhere a while ago that the higher the VG content the more noticeable it was, but I don't think that was from any kind of scientific study.

I think sometimes the build up in the car windows and is down to the anti-fogging shyte on some windows. I noticed it doesnt appear in older cars, my old Nissan didnt get it, but my Scenic does.

I dont get it on my monitor and trust me I blow vape at this thing probably 16 hours a day.

20yr old Pajero here & there's defo something leaving a film, can't say I'm really into car valeting but I hate smeary glass so it's the only job that gets done on a regular basis.

Have to agree with this, never smoked in the car but did used to vape in it until the film started coating the inside of the windows, now don't vape in the car. The van I use all day whilst working needs to have the inside windows cleaned at least once a week to remove vaping film.
