Technically, an e-cigarette atomizer, I believe, actually spays nothing, it heats liquid to vapor. It is closer to a steam vaporizer.
Interesting that you don't actually respond to points made, but just bring up silliness.
Definition of electronic cigarette
: a battery-operated device that is typically designed to resemble a traditional cigarette and is used to inhale a usually nicotine-containing vapor
Note: Electronic cigarettes contain a liquid solution typically consisting of nicotine, various chemical substances (such as propylene glycol or glycerol), and often flavoring. The solution is heated by the battery producing the aerosol or vapor inhaled by the user.

nebulizer
[neb´u-līz″er]
a device for dispensing liquid in a fine spray; types used include jet and ultrasonic nebulizers. Called also atomizer.
small volume nebulizer a pneumatically powered device used to aerosolize medications for delivery to patients.
ultrasonic nebulizer an electronic device that generates ultrasound waves that break up water into an aerosol mist.
Venturi nebulizer a type of nebulizer used in aerosol therapy. The pressure drop of gas flowing through the venturi mask draws liquid from a capillary tube; as the liquid enters the gas stream it breaks up into a spray of small droplets.
Technically, an e-cigarette is a "specific" type of a nebulizer.
Much like one can define a "verb" but there are more than one of them and each has its own definition.
Look, you don't respond to valid points, you just go on to the next bout of silliness.
Instead of going on and on, not responding to things that are unarguable, and then post the "next" "Object of Willfulness" as I have decided to term your "definitions," well, I'm done.
So an e-cigarette's atomizer nebulizes? That doesn't make it a nebulizer ONLY, but a specific form of nebulization.
Next? Because this argument is unwinnable, it really isn't.
I could sit around and chuck synonyms at things forever because I didn't like "a word."
That doesn't make my synonym better, more accurate, or anything else. It just means I have too much time on my hands. That, or I want to argue.
Have fun, this is getting boring and way too easy. Just keep throwing those synonyms, because they are all SYNONYMS.
I might look up that word, and see if you can apply it to your argument. Or you should start your own vaping forum.
