What you are calling vaporization is simply the normal movement
of unbound atoms into less crowded areas. Ice in the coldest
climes "vaporizes" whether the Sun warms the surface or
not, simply by the passage of air across the surface. Thus you
can deposit a thin layer of metal by superheating it and
conducting a gaseous vehicle over it that allows metal atoms to
more easily lift and move to a different location. Hot lava
boiling onto the surface of the Earth or into the sea loses much
of itself in the form of dust or tiny particles too, but this
DOES NOT OCCUR in the center of the Earth, where the opportunity
does not arise. Likewise, the center of a meteor, whether heated
or not, reacts to its immediate environment.

You have all these finites, lining up like steel soldiers,
flanking your logic. Lets look at them one by one and see how
easily they fall down.
Stop putting up barriers and just THINK about this for a
minute, Chris. Tunguska was caused by a large volume of methane
gas, from the same decomposing grasses that the mastodons ate
when Siberia was positioned in a warmer latitude, prior to the
last pole shift. Wet volcanic dust froze when this area became a
polar region, trapping the methane gas. This is the same
mechanism that is creating unexplained flashes in your atmosphere
of late, which some witnesses take to be airplane explosions.
