Best Answer

All air conditioners create condensation during the cooling process. Portable air conditioners use that condensate to improve the efficiency of the process by spraying or dripping it on the condenser coils, helping to cool them more thoroughly. This creates the vapor you are referring to which would be visible if the outside temperature is cool enough.
