Why would you want to do that. And what would you do with the tons of water that you would collect?

Anyway to correct your assertion, they are not water vapour but water droplets, mostly microscopic in size. If they were water **vapour** you wouldn’t be able to “vacuum them up” as, like any gas, they would pass straight through a filter.
