is a humidifier supposed to put out a visable steam of air?

It depends on the type of humidifier you have. A vaporizer is a warm air huminifier, and sometimes they put out visible steam. An electronic humidifier uses ultrasonic sound to vibrate the water, and it's output is also visable, but cool.
