interesting vapor

[Yourdog]

I don't know if this is the place to post this but I was vaping on my ecig and noticed something interesting... When I blew out I blew it toward my arm and the vapor lingered on my arm well I did it again but a lot closer and it stayed, a thick cloud of vapor on my arm made it look like my arm was smoking.. it stayed there for about a minute... Why is this? Could someone explain?

This isn't the place for this but in any case, the vapor is thicker than, say, cigarette smoke. It also has a large amount of water in it. The atomized vapor has much larger particles than regular smoke and doesn't dissipate as easily and, in fact, will sink. Try blowing some vapor slowly into a cup. It will fill it up and sit there. CO2 has the same effect and fog machines use almost the same recipe that e-cigs do except for nicotine, to create their fog. Fog machines use PG in them.
So it's basically 'sitting' on your arm until it's dispersed.
Cool effect

I like blowing rings and putting my arm thru it so it looks like a bracelet lol
vapor is cool how it sinks unlink smoke which rises. Plus I notice if theres a lot of humidity the vapor sticks around for quite a while

Did not work for me either... bummer. Probably the A/C that is constantly running here.

Should have tried turning off the A/C before I posted. Worked that time and it was AWESOME. Now I am HOT, well... no hotter than going to the porch to have a regular smoke. COOL... just did it again.

I saw one of those "check out the new things for Halloween" segments on the local news the other day and they had a 'fog bubble machine'. It had an arm that would dip down in the bubble solution and come up where a stream of (I suppose) PG 'fog would blow to make the bubble. Problem is was that it seemed the bubbles were to heavy to float, just sink down. Guess they need a helium canister on it.

How about blowing vapor slowly over the top of a neon desk lamp. As vapor sinks below the edge, the light warms it up so that it starts to rise and swirl. Ah, the things we contemplate as we sit here vaping...
