[RFI] Tap water is a poor conductor.

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.
