ok so, try the following experiment. put boiling water into an *open* thermos flask. heat loss through conduction is minimal, so almost everything you see is heat loss due to water's immense heat of evaporation, and evaporate it does

I could try to find the point where I add constant electrical power without change in water temperature, and subtract that power from what I add, but I don't expect much loss since I'm trying to heat water from ~8 C to ~18 C in a closed humid and electrically heated room.

ohhh, yeah, with that temperature differential it would work way better.
