Grant951 Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 I've been having trouble with this lately. It always seems like when the heat is on, I can't get a good cloud (makes sense since it seems like very dry heat in my car atleast) but it also seems to affect my throat hit. Has anyone else experienced this or am I crazy? It's driving me nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcartervol98 Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 I can tell no difference anywhere except when there are humidity fluctuations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BirdDog Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Keep it away from the blowing heat vent. It will stay too warm and what you are describing will happen. I learned this by frustration and experience. When the heat is on in my car, I set it down in the cup holder or on the dash. My steering wheel happens to be close to the heat vents.

Bebop Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Warm air holds more moisture. Cold air won't hold moisture. This is why you can see your breath on a cold winter day. Therefore you will not get the vapor you expect with fan blowing hot air in your car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant951 Posted November 26, 2013 Author Share Posted November 26, 2013 Thanks for the input guys, glad I'm not crazy. It was really starting to piss me off. I'll try what you said Birddog! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BirdDog Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 The guys made some good points about heat and humidity. I live in a state that is pretty dry year round, so the humidity level never really crossed my mind. The small things you take for granted. lol Tam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquatroy Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 In NOLA I blow big clouds, in Colorado, not so much!! BirdDog 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tam Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 In NOLA I blow big clouds, in Colorado, not so much!! Now that you mention it I do recall that while I was in California the vapor production easily doubled what I get here in Colorado. I'm just not used to humidity that's more than single digits I guess. BirdDog 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcartervol98 Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 You should see the vapor in a cave with 100% humidity lol. Wish I would have videoed it. HelloMiakoda 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spydre Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 You know, I just never pay attention to the vapor we generate in the car. We always crack our windows so it exits the vehicle, so I just don't pay attention to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HelloMiakoda Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 I use my car as a camper (you should see my setup). I can still get decent clouds when not using the in-dash heater. In camper mode, there's 2 other heaters, one electric, one propane. The propane heater allows for real nice clouds. I found that out the other day when I ran out of gas and had to sit at the side of the road for over an hour. Oh, and feel free to be jealous that when I break down (or drink too much at a party) I have a bed with heater right there. Nice and warm, comfy, complete with lighting that doesn't make the starter battery flat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
