2002 Suzuki Grand Vitara moisture from ac vent

Air Conditioning problem
2002 Suzuki Grand Vitara Two Wheel Drive Automatic 73300 miles

I purchased the suv about a week ago and now I am getting moisture dripping out of the ac vents in the car when I start it up. I live in a humid area. Is this normal condensation or something else.

Does the moisture smell sweet? Any film build up on the windows or front windshield? If so, your heater core is faulty and is causing coolant to be pushed through the vents into the cab as vapors.

If no smell then you may want to have the a/c system pressure tested.
