Had a similar experience with turbine vents. Didn't see much improvement at first, and honestly thought I'd wasted money. But after a month or so, attic moisture dropped noticeably. Guess airflow adjustments aren't instant fixes... patience helps.
Yeah, turbine vents can be a bit deceptive at first. I've seen homeowners get frustrated when they don't notice immediate results, but attic ventilation is more of a gradual balancing act than an instant fix. Moisture buildup doesn't vanish overnight—especially if insulation or soffit vents aren't optimized. Usually, after a few weeks, the airflow stabilizes, and that's when you start seeing real improvements. Patience definitely pays off, but checking your intake vents and insulation quality can speed things up a bit too...
- Agree airflow takes time, but waiting weeks might mask deeper issues.

True, yet persistent dripping could signal improper vent placement or damaged flashing."Moisture buildup doesn't vanish overnight"
- Worth double-checking installation details before assuming it's just patience needed...
Good points raised, but sometimes even proper installation can have quirks. Had a similar issue last winter—checked flashing, vents, everything looked spot-on. Turned out the attic insulation was uneven, causing weird condensation spots.
"persistent dripping could signal improper vent placement or damaged flashing."
True, but don't overlook insulation or attic airflow patterns either. Might be worth a quick peek up there before diving into bigger fixes...

Good catch on the insulation angle—seen that plenty of times myself. Another thing worth checking is bathroom or kitchen exhaust fans venting directly into the attic instead of outside. Even a small leak or loose duct connection can cause moisture buildup, especially in colder months. I'd suggest a quick step-by-step:
1. Inspect attic insulation for uneven spots or gaps.
2. Verify all exhaust ducts vent properly outdoors.
3. Check soffit vents aren't blocked by insulation.
Usually, one of these three solves the mystery drip without major hassle.
