New to the addiction! Was wondering if the inside of my hp tube condensates as much as the outside of the gun,coming from ac house to humid 90° backyard?

like an adult diaper it Depends,,, was the air dried after compressing, before it goes into the tank/tube?
it cant sweat internally if you properly use a air/water seperator followed with a air drying desicant tower

Yes, air was dry. Albeit just 2 stages of cotton filter and desiccant tower. I do get what your saying. If the air is dry it cant "make moisture". Thanks!

Any moisture in a high-pressure tank or air tube will already be condensed -- not because it's cold, but because it's under so much pressure.

Ahhhhhh, would that explain why I notice muzzle vapor on 300bar guns next to me at the range, and not the 200bar?

It's possible that the vapor you are seeing coming out of the air rifles isn't really coming out of the rifles. The muzzle blast is fast-moving high-pressure air that can create a low-pressure area around and following it. The humidity in the air (the weather outside of the gun) will condense briefly in a low-pressure condition and can sometimes be visible. So what you are seeing is more likely a vapor trail like what you see from the wing tips of air craft. The air craft isn't spitting water vapor out, it's just producing a low-pressure area.

Compressing air generates heat in the air tube.
releasing compressed air quickly results in a cooling
condensation filters help to remove the moisture present in the ambient air.

I've always wondered if sweating ever caused rusting? I mean I know it can't get inside but can it still cause problems?
