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.
