Why would 2 airplanes around the same altitude not have the same effect with a contrail ?

You'll have to talk to Phage about that. He seems to be the resident expert on why one plane will leave a trail lasting for hours and another will only last for seconds.
My guess is that they are two entirely different things.
One is vapor and one is aerosolized chemicals
