Sorry. It probably would do no good because your air is already near or at the saturation point for humidity. The drier the environment, the more efficient a bong will run. That might also be why in the desert they were collecting condensation ... since the air is so dry it'll more readily wick humidity causing much greater drops in water temperature. Basically, that is how a vacuum evaporator works: by keeping the area above the liquid a vacuum (or close to it) the humidity is zero. This forces the a portion of the liquid to evaporate to get to the liquid/evaporate balance point for the ambient temperature. Since the steam is sucked out as fast as it evaporates, you can evaporate large quantities of water in very little time. By keeping your bong in a dry environment you'll get very good results. If you are in seattle or miami beach, it will do nothing for you. That probably answers the condensation question for y'all, too.
