Is vapor bad for computers?

[armchairnomad]

I realize people have vaporizers for colds and whatnot in their homes, but would computer fans continually pulling in water vapor eventually build up condensation on internal computer parts and damage them? I am consistently blowing vapor clouds towards my laptop and the thought crossed my mind.

blow it another direction......my desktop is to my left so I just blow vapor to my right. Vapor dissipates really fast so unless youre blowing directly into the intake you shouldnt have an issue

If our computers survived our smoking around them, they will be just fine with vapor.

It would take a lot more than one could vape to produce a drop of condensation before evaporation. Not an issue, vape away.

I've had vapor condensation on the inside of my windshield, so vapor can condense. However, condensation usually happens on the surface of items that are colder than the surrounding environment, and non-moving. The interior of your laptop is warmer than the surrounding environment, and the fans move. As long as you don't blow toward the intake, you should be fine, and you're probably fine anyway.
I feel doubly safe, since I blow toward the top of the computer, and the exhaust fans blow out the top.

What dog hair flavor do you vape?

Laptop computers typically have their intake ports underneath the laptop. the only exaust vents will be either in the back or on the left had side generally. The intake ports flow directly onto the heat exchanger from the processor typically a copper looking bar that goes from your cpu towards your exaust fan.. so my assumption would be that if an exhale of vapor were to find itsway under the laptop into the intake port that when it hits the heat exchanger it would evaporate fairly fast. You should be ok.. but then again.. try not to focus your breath directly at the laptop..

Actually, computers don't do well aroung smokers. Open a computer that is used by a smoker--you'll see a lot of nasty buildup on fans. Sometimes, the case will turn color, as well, depending on how often someone smokes around it (it takes a while, but if you have one of the plactic cases, that color will be Beige in about 8-10 months.
