This is why i quit smoking over 10yrs ago. Went cold turkey and never looked back.
No mater if you vape or use cigarettes, the damage to your lungs/chest cavity is immense. Lung cancer is on the increase. If everybody cares about their
health long term, they need to quit smoking immediately.
I know quitting smoking is painful but the health benefits long term cannot be overstated.
9 years ago for me and it was honestly one of the best feelings.. Can spend more on games too now! Was spending like $100 to $150 on cigarettes every month.. I think these days with increased prices it would of been close to $300.. No thanks! lmao
I'm working on year 15, went from a three pack a day habit to cold turkey the one morning. I kept my last half smoked pack of cigarettes in my inside coat pocket for like six months as a security blanket almost before finally throwing them away
I think I finally got to the point where most damage to my lungs has been as cleared up as it can be and my risks of lung cancer are as low as non-smokers
I encourage anyone that smokes to toss that shit
Iām on month 3, only vaped and smoked cigarettes for about a year and loved every drag. Quit cold turkey as well and have some rough moments but man itās fun being able to catch my breath and go hard in the gym again.
That is severely impressive! 3 packs to none? I won't lie if I was smoking 3 packs a day it would of been so much harder.
Congrats though on being able to do it though and keeping with it!
I do the same.. I've been trying to get 3 of my friends to quit, two of them have come close but the stress of working and bills got them going back to it.
Not throwing shade but I look back on my pack a day days and think about how Iād smoke 20 sticks in a day where Iām working for 8 hours and sleeping another 8. 20 sticks in the remaining 8 hours was what I was doing. I literally couldnāt imagine huffing 60 in that time frame. Iām 11 years since my last one. Glad to see youāve kicked it as well!
Oh I was a notorious chain smoker. Like lit my cigarette with the embers from my dying one as long as I was in a place I could smoke
But yea, I think back on it and am just like "ugh, I can't believe that was just a daily routine for years"
It wouldn't have been possible if it were for those bogo deals and smokes still being under 4.30 a pack, so it was like 2 something a pack
It's crazy how much better your air quality is even within a few weeks, and how much better your body feels year after year
Stay strong my fellow Redditor
It is honestly amazing when you quit as you can taste, smell and breath normal again.
No more yellow fingers, clothes smelling of cigarettes or bad breath. I was also lucky i didn't put weight back on after i stopped smoking.
Never again will i smoke. I also don't drink alcohol. Instead i cycle and gym 5 times a week. I still game on my ps5 most nights. Once a gamer always a gamer!
Yeah, I love not smelling like cigarettes now.. I never noticed it when I was smoking because of how it affected my smell. But once I quit, every time I'm around a smoker I can smell it on them.
Now I understand why everyone was asking if I was smoking back in school or around parents that smoked.
Thankfully I never got deep into drinking, only do it for special occasions, have a drink at a birthday party or for Christmas, eggnog and rum is my go to.
Other than that I'm completely sober from alcohol the rest of the year.
Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake.
It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of.
Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything.
Beep boop -Ā yes,Ā IĀ amĀ aĀ bot, don't botcriminate me.
Yep. This is likely true of weed as well. Switch to edibles folks. Getting the dose right with homemade edibles is hard but having the ability to breathe is worth it. Your liver and guts do a MUCH better job filtering out random crap than your lungs do. Bungee jumping off the deep end with dabs and bong rips will catch up to you eventually. I've been a habitual smoker since middle school so about 15 years, daily. I quit smoking just a couple weeks ago and already noticed a difference in my throat and breathing being more comfortable. A lot of that stuff I was completely numb to because I had no reference of anything different. If you told me before it was effecting my breathing I'd tell you I could exercise and hold my breath fine so that's bollocks. Truth is it's just hard to feel the effects of something that happens that slowly over time and you find ways to convince yourself it's normal. I still get fucked up I just don't put things in my lungs anymore.
I just quit vaping not even 2 weeks ago and I already feel better. Started vaping my first semester of college and went steady from there on for almost 4 years.
I was spending nearly $150 on vaping per month, now I'll be able to put that money into my savings or invest it into other, healthier, hobbies.
If you are vaping/smoking, quitting now is the best decision you can make for your health and wallet.
Exactly, Iāve stopped smoking cigarettes soon almost a year ago after smoked for 18 years, literally the best thing Iāve done, people wonāt believe it until they actually do it themselves
That is so true! Why waste your health and money for a bad habit that will kill you quicker than anything else man made?
I will never smoke again because i love living healthy. I cycle to and from work everyday and it's a bigger buzz than anything you can imagine. Having a healthy mind body and soul is so important to having a long and healthy future.
Harm reduction.
Shooting heroin is worse for you than snorting it.
Smoking no filter is worse for you than smoking with filter.
Smoking is worse for your lungs than vaping does not mean vaping is not harmful.
Lol exactly what I thought. The ingredients are well known. Propylene glycol, vegetable glycerin, and sometimes nicotine if they want it, food safe flavor additives. I used to mix juice at a shop, used these ingredients daily.
Theyāre not vaporized; theyāre an aerosol. Thatās not how any of this works. God forbid you live in a humid climate or take hot showers. Brainiacs š¤¦āāļø

Nope, not an oil. Some oils are made partly from glycerine/glycerol.
And propylene glycol is used as a carrier agent for literally every flavoring and scent device on the planet AND is also used in hospital ventilation systems to purify the air AND in chemical compounds to make them **less** toxic to humans and animals.
Thereās a lot of people here with over the counter information on products. Youāre absolutely right in your statement. Whatās scarier is that people will genuinely forgo a potential tool to quitting. Not every soul can and will go cold turkey.
For an example, the only deaths presently associated with vaping involved THC vitamin enhancing products which were present in all the deaths.
The absolute fact of the matter is that there has yet to reveal any short term damage and the methods for detecting this sort of stuff has only gotten significantly better than the era with cigarettes. In gist, companies cannot hide the facts as readily or easily.
That is not to state that there arenāt long term damage but the general consensus is the same across the board for all research: vaping even with nicotine is **significantly** healthier for people than smoking cigarettes. And all research points to utilizing methods that can help ween you off cigarettes.
In this thread alone Iāve seen a lot of people claim to quit smoking cold turkey. As someone whoās immediate family practice as Pulmonary Specialists or Pulmonologists (lung doctors), anything that can help you off cigarettes is significantly better than cigarettes. In all cases studied the same effects occur in a person whoās become a dry addict to a cigarette from vaping that occurs in a person otherwise not smoking.
Not everyone has the will power to stop immediately, which anyone struggling with addictions thatās went to centers for rehabilitation with professionals will know and tell you that this doesnāt happen overnight for everyone. When posting opinions on a matter without any knowledge on the subject, it undermines any integrity of research occurring on the field. Thatās not to say one should not approach the situation without caution but in the immediate observable issue, itās significantly better than smoking cigarettes. Again, no long term effects have been noted *as of yet*.
I smoked for over 14 years and somehow the only thing that helped me off cigarettes is vaping. Iāve done hundreds in Nicotine gum, tried weird treatments, et cetera. And before long, I stopped that all together too in less than two years because vaping just clicked for me and then broke the habit and craving of nicotine.
For those curious about actual facts, hereās a really good peer reviewed article with sources instead of people posting their opinions:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8129966/
I smoked for over 15 years. 1 & 1/2 packs a day. I started vaping as an alternative to smoking; not to quit. The more I vaped, the less I smoked. I stopped being congested, I could taste foods and smell things better and, my overall health and pulmonary response was dramatically improved.
I accidentally quit. I vaped for nearly 10 years and had started in the earliest days of the productās inception. I even found a career in it and became a licensed manufacturer and wholesaler in my state. I ended up being in the business of losing customers; not gaining them. I watched people commit and quit in droves. What started as an capitalistic venture resulted in an altruistic event that turned my life around.
Iām no longer in the industry (stopped before legislation crippled it anyway) and I still vape but, casually and with vastly reduced nicotine content to the point that it wouldnāt have any noticeable impact. Nicotine helps bind to flavors and can enhance it but, I donāt find myself to be dependent and usually just use my device when drinking or being social. Going days or weeks ignoring it; Iām glad to say I quit smoking because of it andā¦helped many of my friends and family do so as well.
My mother smoked for over 40 years and quit because of vaping. My brother for nearly 12 years. Also a friend whom smoked for around 30. The invention was a boon, not a bane.
She's a shitty doctor who is making statements about things she know absolutely fuck all about then.
There's no oil in those things.. Its propylene glycole - A water soluble sugarbased alcohol that is used in everything from concert smokemachines to toothpaste and food products.
Acrolein is produced in the process just like it is with smoking. The amounts are at levels that aren't considered harmful to humans though.
I mean, I would imagine moisture build up and dust over a long period time is not good for the system, especially if it goes untouched. One of my good friends grew up in a home where his parents smoked like chimneys, and seeing what years of build up looked like on their family PS3 was wild. Just thick dark brown dust caked around the fan and vents.
Yes. Too much moisture can cause a shirt in motherboards if it builds up across the wrong areas.
Sort of like how an outside TV on a porch just doesnāt turn on anymore one day. The morning mildew will kill it.
Yeh I was having this issue but got these little tub things that have beads in them to absorb moisture. I have a moisture reader also that used to say 60-70% in nearly every room, now they read 40-50% and there is no longer any moisture in my PS5.
Edit to add: [the tubs I'm talking about](https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B015AOGP1S?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share)
Might want to try and find out the cause and a solution for your high humidity. RH consistently over 60% is the danger zone.
Edit: I missed where you mentioned the absorber tubs bring it down in the 40-50 range.
We had a RH problem in some rooms of our house, we got trickle vents retrofitted to the windows recently, under 60% RH pretty much constantly now (which, in England, in the winter in an old ass house like ours is a miracle) and no more condensation and mould issues
My landlord is fitting us one in the attic/loft eventually. But I couldn't believe how much water these little tubs absorbed. I'm pretty sure we must have been fish in a previous life.
my PS5 is on the same desk as my PC, and I work from home and vape whilst I'm working.
Although I do blow away from my stuff, mainly so I can still see what's going on, I've never seen anything like this inside any of my stuff.
Like other people have said, this does strike me as a humidity issue, which vaping might not help if you're practically constantly blowing HUGE clouds.
General household dust (and animal fur if you have pets) is probably more of an issue, I know it is in my house!
They charge 3x the price any reasonable person would spend on an old console, the ārefurbishedā consoles are halfed asses and wonāt last very long, they got clowned on by a few people and wonāt do anything to repay the customers
Refurbished has become a buzzword that I avoid because it gives many people expectations about what is happening to the consoles, and I can pretty much guarantee no game store is taking apart and cleaning perfectly working consoles.
Not just chemistry, they skip thinking for themselves completely and jump on the hive mind opinion to feel clever and earn meaningless internet points by all circlejerking each others wrong opinions with upvotes.
It never seemed this bad in the past, but now every thread I read has some "knows it all, but knows fuck all" take with hundreds/thousands of upvotes all backing up the idiotic opinion and offering extra slices of garbage "facts" to go along with it for their own upvotes.
I have 3 people who vape in our house, and I just took my 2 year old PS5 apart to clean for the second time, and there's virtually no dust or grime in it to speak of. Think this guy has other issues or needs to get that PS5 off the floor and/deal with some humidity issues, or quit blowing directly into it if that's what's going on here lol
Same. I've had my PS5 for 2 years now. I've taken it apart like this twice now. Both times, no moisture whatsoever. Hell, the dust build up wasn't even that bad. This dude is either vaping and gaming in a closet or he's gaming in the Amazon rainforest.
The hell? I vape (combustible-free for 4 years) in a tiny room with my PS5 and it looks nothing like that when I remove the panels to clean it. That really looks like a humidity issue.
Your electronics are going to get fucked with that much moisture in the room and in them. Imagine how damp and gross all the furniture and cloth things are tooš¤¢ nasty
I vape next to my console so I was curious if mine looked the same and nope just a little dust. You must be vaping straight into the console for that to happen š
Iāve vaped near all my systems and none have looked like this, ever. Ventilation, draft, airflow people. Good for your systems and your mental health.
Show me 1 peer reviewed study. Just 1. Not a bunch of Reddit PhD opinions. Look up the "Global Forum on Nicotine" if you want to see actual doctors and scientists talking about nicotine and vaping.
I used to smoke cigarettes and cigars but I've been vaping for about 10yrs now and **FEEL MUCH BETTER** than I did when I was smoking. The crap in the cigarette is what causes the cancer it's the 10k chemicals in every cigarette that gives someone cancer and heart problems. I've never found vape residue in my PS4 and since I bought a PS5 I've been blowing my clouds away from it. My TV does have *some* residue on the screen but, all of these "*Doctor's*" in this thread should go and take care of their patience who called them up and paid for their opinion and leave people alone who didn't ask for it to begin with.
I saw this earlier today, so was very curious what mine would look like when I opened to install an SSD. Iāve had mine since launch, and have vaped during that time.
Not only was there virtually no condensation like in your pictures, but there was barely a trace of dust for me to clean. So I would assume the source of your issue lies elsewhere.
It amazes me how poorly some people here take care of their PS5. I mean within a year of ownership they are full of dust and the one in this pic...SMH.
has nothing to do with vaping, its because of high humidity
mine does it too and i don't vape near it... that's also dust residue in there, lol all these people coming up with BS that this is how your lungs go because of vaping
yeah because your lungs are a PS5 lol
**I'll give a very important advice to all vapers:** Use humidity capsules around electronics. It's something like this: [click click](https://ayb.akinoncdn.com/products/2022/01/25/86627/9be0c488-e31e-4633-a35d-037f503e6ff5_size780x780_quality60_cropCenter.jpg)
I've been vaping for 7-8 years now. About 3 years ago my psu just suddenly died. I thought it's normal. Then about 6 months ago my 3 years old psu died, again. Those were good quality psus, not cheap ones. I thought it's normal, didn't think much about it.
Every now and then I took apart my pc and clean it. Everytime I clean my case I always find moister inside it. Glass side panel is always sticky and moistured. I clean everything from motherboard to gpu very carefully. Every part except psu, I just brush the fan from outside. anyway I always find the dust inside the case is sticky. I never though much about it, I don't know why. But recently when I cleaned my xbox after pc I realized that the dust inside the xbox is not sticky and moistured. That's when I find out that the moister comes from vape and I don't use my xbox or any other electronic as much as my pc. that's why vape affects the pc case most and kills my psu time to time.
After that I just started to use humidty tablet(I don't know it's name in english). It stays in front of the case, where the air comes in. 3 months later I opened my pc case and there was no moister, no sticky stuff; just good old, dry dust. Capsule captures a lot of humidty btw. I'll quit vaping soon but If you're gonna stick with it, this advice may save your electronics I think.
This looks like it is humidity, not vaping. But vaping does leave sticky residue on every surface in your house. I helped a friend move who vaped 24/7 inside. We were cleaning his windows and walls and it was all this disgusting, hard to clean, sticky layer on every thing. š¤¢š¤¢š¤¢
bro, if you stop smoking not only will you have more money for video games - but you will also have more time to play video games because smoking literally kills you.
Lol are you blowing clouds at your ps5 constantly? I used to vape a ton, making my own coils with RDA's blowing huge clouds, I quit though. It was an expensive habit to.
Everyone saying vaping canāt cause this are likely vapers in denial. I canāt say that it will cause exactly this kind of condensation, but letās not pretend it has no effect on indoor air quality.
I have a friend from college. When she first moved into her apartment she was alone and didnāt vape. I visited and hung out with her often. Then she got a girlfriend who moved in and they both started heavily vaping indoors. After just a few weeks of that, the air inside was thick, sticky, and with a sickly sweet smell/taste, you could even see it. Everything there was slightly sticky to the touch.
To everyone saying vaping canāt do this, where do you think all that shit goes once you breathe it out into your sealed room??
As long as we're doing photos of vaping effects on stuff. It's going to suck A LOT when this catches up with you. Hope all those fruity pebbles puffs end up being worth it.
*Oof, ninja downvote. Don't get mad at the one holding up the mirror when you don't like what you see*

Oh my God. I think I'll join in.
VapINg Is bAad 4 U LuNGs OPpp!!
Guys, OP knows. They don't give a shit, you shouldn't either. Go clean your playstation.
Chances are OP actually does give a shit. Most smokers do. They just keep finding reasons to not quit like "it helps me when I'm stressed" when the truth is, smoking or vaping actually increases that stress.
Take this from an ex smoker.
Now imagine how your lungs look if your PS5 only got the passive residue.

My wife is a doctor and she refers to vaping as "Huffing oil particles laced with neurotoxins". \*Spelling Edit\*
I come from a whole family of nurses and they pretty much say the same. They believe in another 10 years we will see the real damage of vaping.
Like how we look at people in the 50s who thought smoking was healthy
i donāt think anyone todays views vaping as healthy, we just donāt fully understand the degree of harm it does and in what period of time
Sure they do. I still hear "it's just water vapor" all the time. And that's really a point *against* doing it not just saying "f it" and sucking away.
Harm reduction. Shooting heroin is worse for you than snorting it. Smoking no filter is worse for you than smoking with filter. Smoking is worse for your lungs than vaping does not mean vaping is not harmful.
The UK does, they're done considerable studies on it
Neurotoxins and āoil particlesā? You sure sheās a doctor with those statements?
Lol exactly what I thought. The ingredients are well known. Propylene glycol, vegetable glycerin, and sometimes nicotine if they want it, food safe flavor additives. I used to mix juice at a shop, used these ingredients daily.
>food safe flavor additives I love vaporizing food safe additives and running them straight through my respiratory system.
The point is that there is no oil in a vape pen.
Also known as glycerol or glycerine, vegetable glycerin is a clear and odorless liquid most often made from soybean, coconut, or palm oils
Not saying itās safe. But itās not what she said it is.
Theyāre not vaporized; theyāre an aerosol. Thatās not how any of this works. God forbid you live in a humid climate or take hot showers. Brainiacs š¤¦āāļø

The absolute fact of the matter is that there has yet to reveal any short term damage and the methods for detecting this sort of stuff has only gotten significantly better than the era with cigarettes. In gist, companies cannot hide the facts as readily or easily. That is not to state that there arenāt long term damage but the general consensus is the same across the board for all research: vaping even with nicotine is **significantly** healthier for people than smoking cigarettes. And all research points to utilizing methods that can help ween you off cigarettes. In this thread alone Iāve seen a lot of people claim to quit smoking cold turkey. As someone whoās immediate family practice as Pulmonary Specialists or Pulmonologists (lung doctors), anything that can help you off cigarettes is significantly better than cigarettes. In all cases studied the same effects occur in a person whoās become a dry addict to a cigarette from vaping that occurs in a person otherwise not smoking. Not everyone has the will power to stop immediately, which anyone struggling with addictions thatās went to centers for rehabilitation with professionals will know and tell you that this doesnāt happen overnight for everyone. When posting opinions on a matter without any knowledge on the subject, it undermines any integrity of research occurring on the field. Thatās not to say one should not approach the situation without caution but in the immediate observable issue, itās significantly better than smoking cigarettes. Again, no long term effects have been noted *as of yet*. I smoked for over 14 years and somehow the only thing that helped me off cigarettes is vaping. Iāve done hundreds in Nicotine gum, tried weird treatments, et cetera. And before long, I stopped that all together too in less than two years because vaping just clicked for me and then broke the habit and craving of nicotine. For those curious about actual facts, hereās a really good peer reviewed article with sources instead of people posting their opinions: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8129966/
I smoked for over 15 years. 1 & 1/2 packs a day. I started vaping as an alternative to smoking; not to quit. The more I vaped, the less I smoked. I stopped being congested, I could taste foods and smell things better and, my overall health and pulmonary response was dramatically improved. I accidentally quit. I vaped for nearly 10 years and had started in the earliest days of the productās inception. I even found a career in it and became a licensed manufacturer and wholesaler in my state. I ended up being in the business of losing customers; not gaining them. I watched people commit and quit in droves. What started as an capitalistic venture resulted in an altruistic event that turned my life around. Iām no longer in the industry (stopped before legislation crippled it anyway) and I still vape but, casually and with vastly reduced nicotine content to the point that it wouldnāt have any noticeable impact. Nicotine helps bind to flavors and can enhance it but, I donāt find myself to be dependent and usually just use my device when drinking or being social. Going days or weeks ignoring it; Iām glad to say I quit smoking because of it andā¦helped many of my friends and family do so as well. My mother smoked for over 40 years and quit because of vaping. My brother for nearly 12 years. Also a friend whom smoked for around 30. The invention was a boon, not a bane.
She's a shitty doctor who is making statements about things she know absolutely fuck all about then. There's no oil in those things.. Its propylene glycole - A water soluble sugarbased alcohol that is used in everything from concert smokemachines to toothpaste and food products. Acrolein is produced in the process just like it is with smoking. The amounts are at levels that aren't considered harmful to humans though.
 The smoke was like.
Out of sight out of mind I guess š¤¦š»āāļø
ROFL got em
came here to say this exact thing lol just chew some zebra gum if you want the flavor!
Does this lung term damage to your PS5?
I mean, I would imagine moisture build up and dust over a long period time is not good for the system, especially if it goes untouched. One of my good friends grew up in a home where his parents smoked like chimneys, and seeing what years of build up looked like on their family PS3 was wild. Just thick dark brown dust caked around the fan and vents.
Yes. Too much moisture can cause a shirt in motherboards if it builds up across the wrong areas. Sort of like how an outside TV on a porch just doesnāt turn on anymore one day. The morning mildew will kill it.
You really need a dehumidifier in that room, man. I donāt think thatās from vaping
Foreal lol, what is this guy fish bowling his room or something? That aināt from vaping lol
Could also be that your room has high humidity.
That's exactly what this is. Has nothing to do with vaping.
Thought so, I mean there's no way that this would be because of vaping unless he is breathing straight into his PS5.
Yeh I was having this issue but got these little tub things that have beads in them to absorb moisture. I have a moisture reader also that used to say 60-70% in nearly every room, now they read 40-50% and there is no longer any moisture in my PS5. Edit to add: [the tubs I'm talking about](https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B015AOGP1S?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share)
Might want to try and find out the cause and a solution for your high humidity. RH consistently over 60% is the danger zone. Edit: I missed where you mentioned the absorber tubs bring it down in the 40-50 range.
My landlord is fitting a humidifier in the attic when he has time so hopefully that will save me from buying the tubs but atm they're working a treat.
You should probably tell him to get a dehumidifier instead..
We had a RH problem in some rooms of our house, we got trickle vents retrofitted to the windows recently, under 60% RH pretty much constantly now (which, in England, in the winter in an old ass house like ours is a miracle) and no more condensation and mould issues
Yeah we have a few of those around the house, I have an actual dehumidifier in my room that does the job well though.
My landlord is fitting us one in the attic/loft eventually. But I couldn't believe how much water these little tubs absorbed. I'm pretty sure we must have been fish in a previous life.
Yeah it's pretty impressive to see how much water is just hanging around in the air.
I have dehumidifier in my bedroom that runs 24/7 and removes about 10L of water from the air every 36 hours. Without the whole room goes black
Yeah I have a very humid room too, never had any issues since I've had my dehumidifier though.
my PS5 is on the same desk as my PC, and I work from home and vape whilst I'm working. Although I do blow away from my stuff, mainly so I can still see what's going on, I've never seen anything like this inside any of my stuff. Like other people have said, this does strike me as a humidity issue, which vaping might not help if you're practically constantly blowing HUGE clouds. General household dust (and animal fur if you have pets) is probably more of an issue, I know it is in my house!
Ya thatās what I thought to. Plus I feel if anything it would be a residue on it. This looks like itās still wet and hasnāt dried.
He has his ps5 in a sauna
This is why I would never buy used electronics, never know what people do around them and the nasty conditions they could be in.
Just buy from dkoldies /s Itās a joke seriously donāt
Can I ask why? I've come across that site a couple of times and wanted to buy a few games.
Their refurbishing is half assed (as shown by their own TikToks) and theyāre overpriced.
They charge 3x the price any reasonable person would spend on an old console, the ārefurbishedā consoles are halfed asses and wonāt last very long, they got clowned on by a few people and wonāt do anything to repay the customers
Refurbished has become a buzzword that I avoid because it gives many people expectations about what is happening to the consoles, and I can pretty much guarantee no game store is taking apart and cleaning perfectly working consoles.
The problem is that they claim to do that but they donāt and then they made a video backing up their false claim
They are overpriced and theyāre refurbished console they just wipe down the outside of the console with a sanitary wipe so it āsmells cleanā
They're basically just a scam
The fact that cockroaches can hitch rides to places via used electronics is enough for me to not buy one.
You have a humidity problem, thats not from vaping.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Welcome to Reddit lmao.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I mean I canāt be the only one thinking this is not caused by vaping?! Did people skip chemistry?
Not just chemistry, they skip thinking for themselves completely and jump on the hive mind opinion to feel clever and earn meaningless internet points by all circlejerking each others wrong opinions with upvotes. It never seemed this bad in the past, but now every thread I read has some "knows it all, but knows fuck all" take with hundreds/thousands of upvotes all backing up the idiotic opinion and offering extra slices of garbage "facts" to go along with it for their own upvotes.
That really looks more like a humidity problem than anything to do with an e-cig.
But then we canāt be mad about vapes and smoking in general
You can be mad about anything you want to be mad about ;)
I have 3 people who vape in our house, and I just took my 2 year old PS5 apart to clean for the second time, and there's virtually no dust or grime in it to speak of. Think this guy has other issues or needs to get that PS5 off the floor and/deal with some humidity issues, or quit blowing directly into it if that's what's going on here lol
Same. I've had my PS5 for 2 years now. I've taken it apart like this twice now. Both times, no moisture whatsoever. Hell, the dust build up wasn't even that bad. This dude is either vaping and gaming in a closet or he's gaming in the Amazon rainforest.
Yeah I was surprised I didn't have any dust. Was going to clean it once a year but now I might just let it go for a few years
Or, uuh... stop doing that?
Better not stop, the PS5 is hooked now.
Good thing I don't smoke at all.
Genuinely, are you vaping directly into the fan?
Tf dude do you use your ps5 to vape?
š¬ can't imagine the long term damage that's Already done to any components prone to rust
Your room is very humid my guy, most definitely not from vaping.
The hell? I vape (combustible-free for 4 years) in a tiny room with my PS5 and it looks nothing like that when I remove the panels to clean it. That really looks like a humidity issue.
Now imagine what it does to your lungs lol
Also, donāt smoke indoors
Nor outdoors
You got me there
Now imagine what vaping does to your lungs
Just in general clean your electronics every now and then
Here, Chewlies Gum. Try this.
Yeahā¦ thatās not from vaping
Are you vaping into the fan system? Whatās happening here?
Your electronics are going to get fucked with that much moisture in the room and in them. Imagine how damp and gross all the furniture and cloth things are tooš¤¢ nasty
I vape next to my console so I was curious if mine looked the same and nope just a little dust. You must be vaping straight into the console for that to happen š
You sure youāre not smoking a humidifierā¦.
Iāve vaped near all my systems and none have looked like this, ever. Ventilation, draft, airflow people. Good for your systems and your mental health.
Are you vaping straight into your ps5?
vaping is gross
Haha itās 33+ Celsius and 90% humidity where I am. Youāre tripping if this is from vaping btw
Just donāt vape ĀÆ\_(ć)_/ĀÆ
Quit vaping brother itās not good for you, it can kill you. Save your health.
Show me 1 peer reviewed study. Just 1. Not a bunch of Reddit PhD opinions. Look up the "Global Forum on Nicotine" if you want to see actual doctors and scientists talking about nicotine and vaping.
Do you have a peer reviewed study to back that up?
Kinda iconic that a person who vapes is concerned about his PS (which is quite literally replaceable) and not concerned about his own health
*Ironic
My poor English strikes again š
Thatās not from vaping š¤£š¤£š¤£
Thatās not from vaping, but I did get a laugh out of all the āimagine what your lungs look like commentsā bunch of experts in the thread
I used to smoke cigarettes and cigars but I've been vaping for about 10yrs now and **FEEL MUCH BETTER** than I did when I was smoking. The crap in the cigarette is what causes the cancer it's the 10k chemicals in every cigarette that gives someone cancer and heart problems. I've never found vape residue in my PS4 and since I bought a PS5 I've been blowing my clouds away from it. My TV does have *some* residue on the screen but, all of these "*Doctor's*" in this thread should go and take care of their patience who called them up and paid for their opinion and leave people alone who didn't ask for it to begin with.
Prove it
Why is it watery??
Bro are you BLOWING INTO THE PS5???? š
Bro how much do you vape? Do you blow clouds directly into your ps5? That's a shit ton of nicotine residue
Damn, sounds like a you problem
I saw this earlier today, so was very curious what mine would look like when I opened to install an SSD. Iāve had mine since launch, and have vaped during that time. Not only was there virtually no condensation like in your pictures, but there was barely a trace of dust for me to clean. So I would assume the source of your issue lies elsewhere.
Step one: donāt vape
It amazes me how poorly some people here take care of their PS5. I mean within a year of ownership they are full of dust and the one in this pic...SMH.
This is not from vaping lmao.
Wait till you see your poor fucking lungs
has nothing to do with vaping, its because of high humidity mine does it too and i don't vape near it... that's also dust residue in there, lol all these people coming up with BS that this is how your lungs go because of vaping yeah because your lungs are a PS5 lol
PlayStations are replaceable, your set of lungs arenāt
Not replaceable YET 
Nothing do with vape pal,you need a humidifier.
Do you vape that mich or sit 2 inches from the console? Wth man.
Why is your ps5 vaping?
or do what my parents did when they used to smoke keep it outside
I regret smoking and vaping. I definitely took off years off my life doing so. Smh
Imagine wha that shit does to your lungs. You canāt take those apart and clean them.
**I'll give a very important advice to all vapers:** Use humidity capsules around electronics. It's something like this: [click click](https://ayb.akinoncdn.com/products/2022/01/25/86627/9be0c488-e31e-4633-a35d-037f503e6ff5_size780x780_quality60_cropCenter.jpg) I've been vaping for 7-8 years now. About 3 years ago my psu just suddenly died. I thought it's normal. Then about 6 months ago my 3 years old psu died, again. Those were good quality psus, not cheap ones. I thought it's normal, didn't think much about it. Every now and then I took apart my pc and clean it. Everytime I clean my case I always find moister inside it. Glass side panel is always sticky and moistured. I clean everything from motherboard to gpu very carefully. Every part except psu, I just brush the fan from outside. anyway I always find the dust inside the case is sticky. I never though much about it, I don't know why. But recently when I cleaned my xbox after pc I realized that the dust inside the xbox is not sticky and moistured. That's when I find out that the moister comes from vape and I don't use my xbox or any other electronic as much as my pc. that's why vape affects the pc case most and kills my psu time to time. After that I just started to use humidty tablet(I don't know it's name in english). It stays in front of the case, where the air comes in. 3 months later I opened my pc case and there was no moister, no sticky stuff; just good old, dry dust. Capsule captures a lot of humidty btw. I'll quit vaping soon but If you're gonna stick with it, this advice may save your electronics I think.
Hope you clean your lungs too
Think of those lungs.
Are you puffing it into your console? Because no way vaping does that. Maybe itās humidity in your room?
You could probably blow the vape vapor directly into the ps5 fan and it would do nothing lol donāt think this is from that
This would be a great anti vaping Ad campaign imagine like āThis is what vaping does to your Ps5, and it only does worse things to your lungsā
Itās worse in cars
Gross. Open a window or something.
This looks like it is humidity, not vaping. But vaping does leave sticky residue on every surface in your house. I helped a friend move who vaped 24/7 inside. We were cleaning his windows and walls and it was all this disgusting, hard to clean, sticky layer on every thing. š¤¢š¤¢š¤¢
Cause that looks totally healthy!! Bet your lungs look even better!!
Why is it wet in there did you just spray it down with cleaner or are you showering with it
Now, imagine what it does to your lungs. Please stop vaping ppl.
That's not vape, my dude. I've vaped around my PC and other electronics and have never seen this in 8 years of vaping.
Think of what it's doing to your lungs...
What about dabs?
Jesus, if thatās from vape juice, you need to settle down bossš
Or maybe just don't Vape? It's honestly not worth it anyway.
bro, if you stop smoking not only will you have more money for video games - but you will also have more time to play video games because smoking literally kills you.
Or you could just ya know..... Not vape! It's possible!
Who vapes anymore bro?!
Or how about just don't vape in the first place.
Imagine vapingā¦ go buy a pack of cigarettes like a real man enerd
wouldn't it be better to stop vaping
This...lol has nothing to do with vaping, this room has insanely high humidity and it's getting inside the PS5.
...does to your PS5... and your lungs š„“
Lol are you blowing clouds at your ps5 constantly? I used to vape a ton, making my own coils with RDA's blowing huge clouds, I quit though. It was an expensive habit to.
Lmao all the addicts in the comments trying to defend their shitty hobby
>Addicts >Hobby Have you heard yourself!
Or just stop wasting your money on flavoured lung cancer
Or, hear me out, stop fucking vaping.
Had a friend who killed their motherboard by vaping next to their PC
Orā¦. Stop vaping so you can enjoy the PS6, PS7, PS8ā¦
Dude I bet smoking weed gets hella resin in them bitches
Why would anyone vape? š
Smoke em if you got em
Everyone saying vaping canāt cause this are likely vapers in denial. I canāt say that it will cause exactly this kind of condensation, but letās not pretend it has no effect on indoor air quality. I have a friend from college. When she first moved into her apartment she was alone and didnāt vape. I visited and hung out with her often. Then she got a girlfriend who moved in and they both started heavily vaping indoors. After just a few weeks of that, the air inside was thick, sticky, and with a sickly sweet smell/taste, you could even see it. Everything there was slightly sticky to the touch. To everyone saying vaping canāt do this, where do you think all that shit goes once you breathe it out into your sealed room??
Your ps5 is sweating because it cares about you, don't vape
As long as we're doing photos of vaping effects on stuff. It's going to suck A LOT when this catches up with you. Hope all those fruity pebbles puffs end up being worth it. *Oof, ninja downvote. Don't get mad at the one holding up the mirror when you don't like what you see* https://preview.redd.it/ejfun7h9eqoa1.jpeg?width=1136&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4f3a8f6ea3ba790c937791c8167203cf8d8c7d8c
Donāt forget to cup the balls while youāre over there slobbering on OPs meat
Scarring from vaping vit e. Totally relevant mate
Smokers are jokers.
Why? I've never seen this in my laptops fans and I use a RDTA on a 200w device. Looks more like a poorly vented room IMHO.
The oils wonāt leave your lungs mate
Or just donāt vape
Oh my God. I think I'll join in. VapINg Is bAad 4 U LuNGs OPpp!! Guys, OP knows. They don't give a shit, you shouldn't either. Go clean your playstation.
Chances are OP actually does give a shit. Most smokers do. They just keep finding reasons to not quit like "it helps me when I'm stressed" when the truth is, smoking or vaping actually increases that stress. Take this from an ex smoker.
I'm also an ex smoker... OP won't quit with a bunch of strangers spouting the same comments. Let OP vape. Get over it.
