HI there,

This is what it well can be, it is not unknown that you can get this happening, best explanation i have been given is that moisture on the fins of the evaporator, condenses with the sudden cold of the A/C when turned on and is pushed out the vents as a cloud of mist, when it enters the cabin it warms up and is evaporated instantly, I hope that is a help.
