    My experience is no residue. No lingering smell or anything like it.

    It definitely leaves a residue on windows , I've noticed it on the inside of the windscreen but nothing like cigarettes did , I'm pretty sure the vape shop owners will tell you that it does leave a residue on their windows .

    Nothing smell wise anyway. Cant say iv noticed a residue but the vapour has to end up somewhere i suppose. Either way nothing near what smoking would.

    Yep it leaves a slightly sticky/oily residue - the same residue found in club and bar equipment that use smoke machines.  
    Not nearly as bad as ciggies though, does not tend to leave stains and its 99% easier to wipe off than cigarette gunk. 
    Its most apparent on TV screens, computer monitors and windscreens. My old iMac blows in air from the bottom and I have to remove the glass panel every other week to clear off the residue. The fans have stayed pretty clear, I clean them every year or so.

    Definitely a residue in my van. Takes a good bit of buffing and windowlene to get it out, but it forces you to clean your windows once a month and they do be sparkling afterwards

    On the bright side most liquids are water soluble, i'm not a doctor but i take that to mean it wont leave a residue in your lungs.
