Air Conditioning/Heater Effects on Vaping

[FreakyStylie]

We have recently been turning our heat on during the day since the temperatures are dropping, and the nights are an hour earlier as of late. It has recently hit me that, even though there is no "breeze" from our heater, my vapor production seems to dissipate much quicker when the heater kicks on.

Am I losing it, or does drier air affect the vapor? I haven't been doing this through different seasons, so I would expect that seasoned veterans may/may not have noticed this.

Something is making me want to say "dew point" as an answer to your question, but I can't give a full answer.

So, at least it sounds like it may be plausible. When the heater kicks on, by its nature, it dries out the air making it more ready to absorb the moisture of the vapor. ??

Totally agree. Moisture rich environments would definitely hold and show vapor longer than a dry environment. Simply because I dryer environment would absorb/evaporate super tiny yummy droplets of moisture (vapor) a lot faster.

My friend...have you stood in front of your steamy mirror after a steamy shower and vaped yet?

The more moisture thats in the air, the more vapor that will be present. In very moist conditions, the vapor will linger a lot longer as well.

Or try exhaling through your nose while drinking a cold drink (esp with ice)...makes a TON of vapor.

The whole moisture in the air thing makes sense but I must be living in world of alternate physics because I'm kinda noticing the opposite. Now that the heat's on, no humidifier, my vapor is getting so moist I feel like I'm drowning sometimes.

Not sure what the reason is, but I do know that A/C are basically big Dehumidifiers. I worked in an appliance store and the Refrigeration and A/C guy explained that basically both take the humid air out the air and the by product is a dry cold air. That is why you see A/C's dripping water out of the back. When you are cooking and you are boiling water a lot of moist vapor goes into the air and that usually raises the temperature. Or if you have a dryer in your basement/enclosed room the first part of a drying cycle can make that room moist and very warm. But as far as I know most heating furnaces blow out a dry heat, which really is not too effecting in heating a house, unless it is a big one. That is why a lot of people up here in Minnesota normally have a humidifier or two running. It helps cut the Furnace running a lot plus helps in that winter dry skin. You might want to invest in a few and see if that helps get enough moisture in the air and increase the vapor from your pv. LOL or you can boil a lot of water and take a lot of hot showers.
