Cold Vape~Hot Vape

[Sad Society]

The weather is getting colder now and I want to say that vape exhale will last longer in the cold but I'm still not sure of this yet. Maybe you see it better in the cold but it seems to dissipate just as fast. Just like when you can see your breath when it's cold enough.

Now I'm not sure if this next part should be in the tips and tricks thread because it's not really a tip or a trick. It's just something fun that you try and do at home. I discovered this the other day.

Steam up your bathroom and vape in it. You will see lots of vapor. You can try this after you take a nice long hot shower or bath with the door shut so all the steam will stay in. Make sure that your mirrors are heavily fogged or if you don't have mirrors make sure you can see moisture on the walls. The vape exhale will linger for a long time.

I'm guessing the air is heavy with steam/moisture and the vape exhale has no where to dissipate so it just lingers. This could probably work outside on a foggy day, but I haven't had the opportunity to try this. Anyhow, just something fun to do.

Yeah, I played with it a bit outside when it was foggy or drizzling outside. As long as there's moisture hanging around in some way. I got the idea when I used to play with cigarette smoke - when it was pouring rain, it would linger quite a bit.

I have noticed a difference when vaping outside in hot humid air. I can increase the vapor production just by rolling up the windows in my car and turning on the the air conditioner. While not 100% true, vapor is mainly water vapor. If the air is saturated with moisture you're going to see a drop in vapor or it's more easily absorbed into the moist air or maybe it's all the existing moisture in the air.

When you breath out air in the winter is it the "heat" you're seeing or the moisture? Interesting question! I'm sure the dryer winter air is playing a factor in seeing you breathe or moisture.

I guess the only quetion that really matters is: If you can see your breath when it's cold how do you know you've run out of juice!?

How do you know if you've run out of juice?
You taste burning atty!

As per hot/cold... try this...
See how much vapor you can produce at room temp.
Compare to blowing the vapor into an open freezer.
Compare both to an exhale in a post-hot-shower bathroom.

I've been experimenting since I got my 510 yesterday, and thus far, my conclusions:
The vapor is very light in warm air.
The vapor is much denser in cold air.
The vapor will dissipate rapidly in dry air.
The vapor will hang longer in moist air.

(Based on what I've figured out between air conditioned room temp, post-shower bathroom, just before it rained, during rain, just after rain, testing across the top of a glass of ice water, testing into a full size deep-freeze freezer, testing into a standard freezer...)

As per why I tested ice water, standard freezer, and deep freezer... the deep freezer is so cold that its next to zero humidity... vapor was dense and longer lasting than the standard freezer, which has higher humidity and was dense but dissipated rapidly.
