vaporises

Turns to mist

Vaporises is the British spelling of vaporizes—the third-person singular form of vaporize.

To vaporise is to convert into vapor, either by heating a liquid until it becomes gas or by destroying something so completely it seems to vanish: The laser vaporises the tumor tissue.

Figuratively, something vaporises when it disappears suddenly: My savings vaporised in the crash.
