Gotcha. That heat from the air is also energy input that has to be counted, so it still would equal out in the end, right?

Exactly
So a good analogy might be that it's like a tiny version of what happens in an atomizer. It takes more energy to evaporate water than to turn the same amount of water into a very fine mist. The droplets will then evaporate on their own, using an amount of energy equal to the difference between evaporation and misting.

Thank you, I've got a little clearer view of my world.
