Default Anyway to make my purge cloud white?

I know ththis might be viewed as a ricer type question, but is there any way to make my purge cloud white? Right now it's clear, regardless of bottle pressure. I've heard from others that nitrous doesn't purge white in Arizona (where I'm at). I'm assuming this is due to a lack of humidity in the air, meaning the water vapor can't supercool and condense.

Anyways is there any non-big$$$ way of making it white or am I stuck as is?

This can be a little hit or miss, but sometimes you can get a bit more of the white cloud by increasing the orifice size of the purge tube.

Move to the NW or the NE in the Fall or Spring. (moisture in the air-humidity).

so basically put a flare on the end of the hard line or increase the actual diameter of the tube itself?

You need a real big solenoid for the purge and a real bug line out of the noid.

Not a ricer question at all. The fact is, the whole point of the purge is so you can "see" that the line is purged. If you can't, then it's pointless.

As already mentioned, a bigger solenoid and larger diameter line is the answer. I don't believe a bigger flare on the tip alone will do the trick.
