See my post 22 from the other thread LINK

Temp and humidity have an affect on how visible the vapor is.
In July when it's 95° and the humudity is 10% I care barely see any vapor.
A steady stream of vapor is not necessarily bad. What is bad is a chug-chug-chug
which can mean a bad piston or worn rings.
