Substance in the form of a mist, fume or smoke (6)

I believe the answer is:

vapour

(Other definitions for vapour that I've seen before include "Substance in the form of a mist, fume or smoke" , "Particles suspended in air" , "Boast" , "Airborne condensation" , "Moisture diffused and suspended in air" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times (Simplex) and The Irish Times.
