Dear Doris, It's just that a heat-based vaporizer actually boils and evaporates the liquid, which is just what a distiller does. Any salts, dissolved minerals or particles (like silver), are left behind. If you fill your tea kettle and boil it on the stove until it's dry (not a good thing for the kettle, of course!!), you'll see the crusty deposits left inside the kettle from the minerals in the water. The steam from the spout is invisible at first, but becomes a hot, visible mist as it starts to condense into tiny droplets after contact with the room temperature air. If you trap and condense that vapor you'd have decent quality distilled water, with none of the minerals that were in the water originally. The cool mist vaporizers act either by ultrasonic or mechanical means to break the water up into tiny droplets -- which will still contain whatever is dissolved or suspended in the water! The water is turned directly into tiny droplets, rather than being turned to steam first and then condensed. I hope that explains it. Good question! Be well, Mike D.
