inside vs. outside performance

[feversilk]

Has anyone noticed a difference between vaping outdoors (hot/humid) and inside w/ air conditioning? I work mostly outside, and it seems like I spend a lot of time troubleshooting my 510 during the day - weak vapor, hot atty, lots of topping off. Once I'm home in the a/c, the same atty + cart seem to perform much better and I don't top off nearly as much.
Or is it just me?

P.S. I'm new to the forum - this is my 2nd. post, just wanted to say hello to everyone and thanks, I've already learned a lot of useful info.

Hi Feversilk and welcome to the forum! I have only noticed a difference on windy days. It whips the vapor away too fast and I feel like I didn't get anything. Just a visual illusion playing with our perception.

No it's not just you. When I go to mow the lawn (tractor) I take my Janty Stick for that very reason - it's a vapor machine... even though the 510 does really well inside - not the same in the wind.

And a hearty Welcome!

mine works best in my car, it's the only place I have air conditioning.

Same issue here. I don't care if I can't see the vapor outside, but I don't taste the flavor either. I can then walk right inside, take a puff, and it's fine. Haven't figured it out but there's something to the indoor vs. outdoor issue, at least for me.

I have a Prodigy on the way, hoping that helps with the outdoor issues.

I am convinced that cooler air produces much better vapor.
And in constrast, that hot, humid air destroys my vapor.

But I didn't get a lot of feedback on this question previously.

I get the same impression when outdoors. It stands to reason. When in hot humid air there isn't going to be as much difference in temperature or humidity with the vapor.
In contrast everyone can produce vapor without a PV if it's cold out, just breath and voila

Yep, The cooler the air around you the more condensing of vapor hang time is increased as well. I play with fog machines on Halloween and the cool evenings always produce the best fog. Lots of it and it stays for a long time.

Anyone who has vaped outside in the winter could probably tell you about the massive vapor.
