Default Anyone notice smoke out the vents

OK My wife calls me and says that when she turned on th A/C
white smoke came out just a little and was gone in a few seconds.
To my knowledge it's the heater core or is it something else.

Smile Maybe it's normal

If you can't smell antifreez I would guess it moisture being condensed out of the air. Your Auto A/C is designed to remove moisture from the air this is why you see water dripping from under Autos when their parked after running the A/C on a humid day.

Yes, mist/vapour, as you say in high humidity areas.
