If so thats normal behaviour for superglue. Try setting the piece with a fan blowing against it to blow the fumes away from the piece before they settlle the white residue around the joint.
High humidity doesnt help much with this, moisture in the air can add to this problem. But then again superglue wouldnt dry very well in a totally dry environment either. (moisture is the catalyst for this type of glue)
Using less glue can help, you dont actually need much usually. Having too much there just adds to the amount of vapour giving this residue.

'Ain't nothing crazy about me but my brain. Right brain? Riight! No not you right brain! Right left brain? Right!... Okay then lets do this!!
The superglue vapors will adhere to bodily oils too, like fingerprints. In fact, they use this to take fingerprint impressions. The idea of using a fan, or blowing on the join to disperse the vapors is a good one.
