Kind of, I guess, in the sense there is a heating element and usually something that holds the juice and delivers it to the heating element. But when I use the term "atomizer" I generally mean an atty for dripping; when I say "cartomizer' I mean a tube with filler material wrapped around a center coil; and when I think of vivi novas, I think of clearos with a wick to the top coil. I'm not even addressing bottom coils here.
