Can excessive vaping cause this?

By


I am making clean reinstall for a friend, and I opened it up for the sake of my curiosity. This laptop had not been in use for at least 18 hours.

    If you vape in the same air as the laptop yes.

    I vape too but i use desk fan for air circulation and the air dissipates the smoke of the vape and my laptop never had your problem, unless you blow the smoke directly to the fan intakes then yes but then again i sometimes blow the vape smoke to my laptop fan intake to tell if it’s drawing air or not

    Lots of electronics has seen EOL due to vape smoke. But it generally happens within closed room with poor circulations.

    Yes vape smoke can definitely leave a residue. I’ve heard of people keeping an old rag in their car to wipe off the inside of their windscreen after the residue builds up.

    Because of the sweetness of the vaping flavor, it definitely disturbs your fans as well as your lungs from getting enough oxygen.

  9. CeramicBowl43

    not sure, but it sure can make you look a prat

    It does same shit to your lungs

  11. Interesting-Guest649

    ofcourse yes, vaping not even killing you, buts its killing also your laptop

    Go pick up a pack of Zyns or equivalent. I recommend the ‘smooth” flavor.

    I stopped my decade long vaping habit in two days because of these things.

    I’m sure they aren’t healthy either, but I’m not inhaling a boat load of nasty vapor anymore.

    Edit: now I need to crack open my laptop and see what it looks like. I definitely had been absent mindedly exhaling clouds at it.

  15. KeyboardGunner

    Yes that’s exactly what that is. I had the same issue with my desktop.

  16. SensitiveAd5962

    Ya, it’s vaporized glycol that was exhaled.

    Tell him “If this is what Vaping has done to your PC can you imagine WHAT THE FUCK YOUR LUNGS LOOK LIKE!?”

    guys before you post some pictures of lungs,pls read what was cause of dmg. vaping nicotine juice isnt one of them.i know you want to look smart,after all this is pcmaster race, but pls stop it.

  21. marinul

    Yes. Vape juice 100%. Don’t blow the steam towards electronics or this will happen.

    Isopropyl alcohol should make it all ok.

    EDIT: As someone else said here, DO NOT clean the screen with iso, or it could damage it. Use a damp microfiber cloth and it should clean up without a hassle.

    thats the caramel sugar syrup you inhale from the vape that is now residuing on your pc components

  24. 187uchiha

    Yes, it doesn’t even have to be excessive

    I had a friend smoking with a bong next to his pc in a tiny ass room. guess who had yellowish/greenish dust in his pc.

    How can vaping be worse for a PC than smoking? I’m blazing more or less 24/7 near my tower and I’ve never seen anything like this.

  28. PeterGriffinBalls

    looks more like excessive humidity

  29. macguffinstv

    It can. If you drive and vape you will start to notice a film on the windows from it.

    I use spitless nicotine pouches now, trying to quit everything soon.

  30. almighty_dick_weed

    Can someone here explain, does this also happen with the penjamine? I tend to hit mine next to my Pc A lot, but I leave the door and windows open.

  31. SaltyMelonWank

    You wont get an educated answer here considering this place is very antivape. Although, what kinda clouds do people chuck that causes this much?

  32. Cheefnuggs

    I have vaped around my PC’s and laptop for years and have never had this issue. If your friend blowing it directly into the intake?

  34. Passenger_Impressive

    Been vaping for years around my electronics and in the car. I have never had any residue like this. Are you guys just blowing your smoke directly into the air vents?

  37. DeanV255

    Yup, I twilighted as an Apple Repair Technician and someone who vaped brought in his now yellow iMac for repair as the monitor was basically fully yellow. I’d never seen anything like it, same coloured vapour and condensation, smelt horrible.

  38. notyouagain-really

    I own a window cleaning business, and at new customers with Vapers, the windows can be yellow with the oil or whatever it is all over the windows. It’s especially noticeable around the window vents. It turns the equipment yellow and the water yellow too. It’s way worse than a home of a smoker.

    I feel like if you have to ask this question you already know the answer

    Looks like spill damage to me

    Seems plausible. I mean, you’re evaporating Glycol and it has to condense again somewhere…

  45. tileman1440

    Its vape juice, know a woman whos husband found out she was vaping because the drivers tinted window was ruined by the **glycerin** in the vape. Some of these vapes are like fog machines and thats all oil vapor which collets and sticks to things, my partners tv is the same it leaves smears on the screen.

  46. Le_Canard_Belge

    Short answer : Yes.

    Slighlty longer answer : Vaping smoke is literally suspended water drops in the air, if it gets inside your laptop it can build up and damage it with water (moisture -> short circuits, mold, oxydation and more funky things).

    Try to either smoke less in front of your pc, have it rest lower than the desk (like under it) or open your windows to create an airflow to reduce the amount of water your pc swallows.

  48. Steel_Cube

    Any vaping, smoking, or other activities that let off smoke or fumes near a computer will damage it
