Vahoista

Vahoista is a term used, in some Spanish-language contexts, to describe a person who studies, appreciates, or works with fog, steam, or vapor, and who may engage with related aesthetic or scientific practices. The term is formed from vaho (fog or vapor) and the suffix -ista, indicating a practitioner or devotee. Because it is not an officially codified term, its meaning varies by usage and community.

Usage tends to be informal and localized to niche communities, including photography that emphasizes fog or atmospheric haze, amateur meteorology interested in condensation and humidity, and performing arts contexts that employ theatrical fog effects.

Typical activities associated with vahoistas may include documenting foggy conditions, measuring humidity and temperature during fog events, collecting images of fog and haze, or designing and using fog-generation techniques for artistic or educational purposes.

There are no widely recognized individuals, organizations, or formal movements that define the term; it remains a loosely used label with no single canonical definition.
