So What Should I Expect?

Do you have any idea at what temperature lead vaporises (that is, changes state from liquid to gas - ie, boils)? Over 3000 degrees F;

That's an odd argument.
Lead may boil at over 2000K, and water boils at 373K, but there's a lot of water vapour around at much lower temperatures; there's probably quite a lot of it floating over your head right now.
