Cold vapor.....

[mudmanc4]

Anyone noticed this ? Maybe I'm way behind here, but just today as I was exhaling , I noticed how much cooler the vapor was compared to the ambient temperature.

Try it, take a nice amount in, and slowly exhale where your not "pushing" the vapor out, or blowing it out, place your hand below where the vapor is.

Tell me what you think. I'm sure this is due to the moisture in there, no ?

Hehe, that was the first thing I noticed myself. If you blow it out real slow and let it float over your face, you can feel the coolness.

It's evaporative cooling... check it out Evaporative cooler - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Yep, sure enough.

I first noticed it when I blew vapor on my hand (didn't pull away before exhaling).

Oh, then I noticed that my hand didn't smell like smoke! Yay!

the best way to notice this is to blow it on the back of your hand. I use to do this with eclipse menthol cigarettes because the tobacco wasnt burning. it was a carbon rod burning and so the smoke was cooler.
