Interesting Observation

[Rader2146]

I started vaping in Afghanistan in low humidity, I live in the California desert with low humidity. Right now I'm on vacation in Kansas with high humidity. Last night was a windy cool humid night. I was vaping and the wind changed direction and blew the vapor right back in my face. IT WAS COLD! Like air conditioner vent cold. I know for a fact that this doesn't happen in low humidity. My only conclusion was that since PG and VG attract moisture, the vapor was essentially acting as an evaporator cooler upon exhale. When the vapor hits the humid air and absorbed the water molecules the resulting reaction is a drop in temperature.

Anyone else have experience in high vs low humidity, or experience the same affect? Also any other theories as to how or why this happens?

I'm in Kansas, and you're right, it does do that when it's humid. It's nice, isn't it?

I think you're right about it being the same kind of thing as an evap. cooler, which, being midwestern, I would refer to as a swamp cooler, but your way sounds nicer.

I live right on the bay in Northern Michigan, and I specifically love vaping on hot days just for that reason. I'm sweating my .... off then blow out a cloud of vapor, it hits me in the face and cools me down for a sec

I honestly have not noticed this. I will have to try to be more aware next time when I am vaping outside. It is muggy here most of the time, so a cool mist would be most welcome.

I noticed this while I was walking and vaping at the same time in a grocery store. (I know, dangerous) Being in Texas in a high humidity area, it does this year-round. I thought I was just going crazy, thanks for explaining this!

If you simply exhale on your hand it feels warm, exhale vapor on your hand and it feels cool...


obviously vapers are doing their part to combat global warming!
