Default Purge is light and feathery

So I've got a Dynotune dual purge kit with the large 350hp? solenoid. It comes with long black plastic tubes for the purge lines. You cut them to fit. My nitrous kit is a HSW Sudden Impact Wet 4an. Anyway, the problem i'm having is that when I purge, you can hear it but can't always see it. No big plume or any defined shape, just some feathery wisps. Is the solenoid too big? Could it be the type of line material? The purge works but I want to be able to see the liquid nitrous coming out.

On a side note, rewired my system this winter and took it to the track for some shake down runs after my 9in install. With a 75 shot it ran 11.840 @ 116.35 w/ 1.721 60'. This is normally what my 100 shot ran and it picked up 3mph over last season.

Any help on this would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Eric

Depending on where you've ran the line/N2O solenoid, it may be getting warm causing the liquid to dissipate before it exits. I've installed purges using high pressure air ride hose with no problems. The large solenoid shouldn't be causing the problem.

I could see that happening. It sits on top of the intake manifold and does get pretty hot. The lines themselves run up to the cowl and then down the fenders to the fog light openings so I don't think they get very hot. I suppose I'll have to try it cold and see what it looks like. Anyone else have any thoughts.
