Why is there smoke coming out of my A/C?

Hello Acurazine family!! It's been months since i've been on here, i have missed you guys. All that means is that the TL has been good to me!!

Anyhow-my problem is with the A/C, in the past 3 months my A/C has blown out smoke twice. The smoke is not foggy its more like a steam or mist. I immediatly turn the A/C off then i'll turn it back on and its ok. What do u think the problem could be?

i have a 99 Acura TL with about 136,500 miles on it.

It's not a problem and it's totally normal. It's just water vapor and you'll tend to see it in very humid conditions.

yeah, it looks kinda cool. when the a/c is on cold and its 95 here with alot of humidity it does it on a regular basis.

Might be a good idea to check that the evaporator drain is clear.

Especially today. It's humid as hell in Joisey.

Normal but make sure the drain is clear and the filters and area are clear
