I have an instant pot that can usually do a good job of turning water into mist. If an atomizer doesn’t work, how about simply creating steam with my instant pot?
I don’t know the physics of what happens in an instant pot very well, but probably not; I would expect any heat-based method for producing mist is probably going to be leave the solutes behind. But this is easy to test; just saturate some water with saccharin, turn it on, and see if (without a mask) you can taste saccharin in the air.

I tested it and you are right, the mist produced had no effect.
My answer links to a paper claiming that aroma diffusers can work well but humifiers, spray bottles, and spray bottles did less well.
