(Meaning you run the cooled water through the rad, it will most likely heat up to a slight extent, since your suddently blowing "hot" vapor / water on it... It should as sutch capture the bigger water particles, and even condense some, altho, the air pushing through the rad will slightly cool it aswell...)

I dont know, to me it seams to be a more logical solution, if someone if persistant about a rad...

Blow me out of the water now mates, explain whats making this none working (i allready know it should raise the temp a bit, no idea how far, and the only reason for actually doing it should be to try and limit the water loss...

B!
With small design modification that could work.

but regardless there are long term issues with using copper finned rads in this way , calcium buildup , dust build up and corrosion of the copper will choke up the fine fins of the rad eventually.

The easiest way to stop water droplets blowing out the top of a shower head bong is to install a "switchback", get a pair of plastic wall vents that use slotted angle grilles like so ////////, you flip the other one around and mount them back to back so they liik like this;
/////////
\\\\\\\\\

the air passes thrugh but the heavier water droplets can't take the turn and hit the grating and drip back into the bong.
