Yes, tap water conducts electricity better than distilled BUT the resistivity is many times that of  of steel, Aluminum, or copper wire.

Vaporizers that use a pair of electrodes to vaporize water usually require the addition of a "little" salt to get enough conductivity to heat the water. I said "little" because too much will pop the circuit breaker.

These things are really messy to use as any minerals in the water will be deposited on surfaces in the room as a white powder.
