Why does vapor feel cool on my face when I'm outside in the heat?

[molliePOP]

Shouldn't it feel warm since it's been heated up? It's always so refreshing to let it blow back onto my face when I'm outside in the heat and humidity of Dallas But I don't understand why the vapor feels so cool, it's not as if it's been refrigerated.

Vapor cools when you inhale and exhale it. Blow on your finger feels good dont it.

Science time!

So, sweating cools us down because the sweat evaporates. That requires heat, and sweat evaporating off your skin gets some of that heat from your body. Now, the air is absorbing heat from you too, but liquids transfer heat much better. That's why sweat cools you, and why moisture evaporating in general feels cold.

Glycerin and propylene are hydroscopic: they attract water to them. Your atomizer hurls out the e-liquid in tiny bits, they attract moisture in your lungs (or just the air), which condenses and makes the visible vapor. When that touches your skin, it feels cool for the same reason sweating works, or misters work.

Cloud seeding (artificial rain-making) works the same way: spread a bunch of hydroscopic stuff in the air to get clouds to form in it.

I wasn't the best at science, but the way u explain it does make sense to me. So I'm creating my own little fog? If one had a ton of people in a room and they were all vaping (tons and tons of vapor), could they make a little cloud and make it rain ejuice??

That's my favorite thing to do - it allows me to taste/smell the essence of the juice and it also makes me feel like a dragon
