Which Vapor Equalizing Valve Should I Use?

I currently have a Gorton No. 4 on my steam riser in my bathroom.
I live on the top (5th) floor of my apartment. When I plug the hole no steam reaches the pipe. However, when using the No.4 valve I get alot of steam in the bathroom causing condensation everywhere.
Is there a more sensitive valve that will close more quickly that I should be using?
Thanks in advance!
