                         air has emerged as a solution to the water scarcity. Academic and 
                         industrial research works that seeks to develop water collection 
                         devices with high efficiency has great relevance for the 
                         scientific community. In this work, we aim to show that modified 
                         carbon nanotubes forest can remove the condensed drops easier than 
                         a hydrophobic and a super-hydrophilic surface. In addition, this 
                         result was reached at high super saturation level which is an 
                         innovative aspect of this work. The Vertically Aligned Carbon 
                         Nanotubes (VACNTs) were grown on steel pipes. We used a CO2 laser 
                         and an O2 plasma to perform the post treatments that changed the 
                         CNTs to super-hydrophobic and super-hydrophilic, respectively. In 
                         addition, the CO2 laser treatment added a second level of 
                         roughness in the surface by etching the nanotubes walls. A 
                         polyethylene coating attached the carbon nanotubes to the 
                         substrate. We experimentally demonstrated a 24% higher vapor
