Ok I want to create this smoke that evaporates, but so far i've been using objects i.e., spheres, cubes, toruses. The problem with those is when the simulation is done I can still see the outline of the object. So my next thought was to use particles from an emitter “Location Particle Emitter.” But when I attach let's say “Wispy Smoke” it doesn't show up in the render view, but when I use a object to simulate it, it shows up in the render view. So my question is how do I attach effects like those on emitted particles?

The Wispy Smoke material is expecting a volume attribute named density to exist on your object. That is why it does not show up on basic geo. It is typically used with volume rendering.

Have you tried any of the Pyro tools?
They are designed to create the effect you are seeking.
