If the vent tube is pointing directly up, why not just put give it an s shape or a couple bends to trap the condensation higher up?

That's a terrible idea.

Yuck. Don’t do this.

That would make a goose neck flask like in chemistry class. Or basically a P trap where you don't want one.

So do nothing then and live with the drip, got it.

No I didn't suggest inaction. I suggested not intentionally clogging a dedicated vent tube with a pool of water as per that incredibly bad idea.

Dude said he didn't want to run a vent pipe out his roof. Insulation will not solve the problem of attic condensation dripping down his pipe. I suggest a solution, I've heard no alternative solution. Maybe a flapper at the top? That would have been a productive comment.

Many people offered superior solutions; mine would be redundant. A comment that precludes a detrimental unproductive "solution" is indeed productive. Did you try reading the other comments offering alternative solutions? Regarding correct venting? Have a good one.
