white smoke out of vents?

recently i got my ac fixed in my car, well the other day i was on a 3 hour drive and i noticed white smoke coming out of my vents with the ac on, as i increased or decreased the fan speed it would affect the ammount of smoke coming out, well it happend today right after i started my car, white smoke started coming out of my defrost vents then slowly went away after a few seconds, is this something to worry about? iv never noticed it with my heater on, and just noticed it recently, i dont smell anything or notice anything differently it still cools fine, doesnt smell, doesnt fog up the windows or stay around inside the car so im lost.

Re: white smoke out of vents?

It means that your air temp is barely above freezing like the smoke coming out of a meat locker. I have an old 1989 Z71 truck that did that for years. It means perfect air and a high humid atmosphere.
