The degree of atomization and droplet size has been tunable for many decades, it's what an emulsion tube (and its functional equivalents under other names) adjusts. In many carburetors it's a sized series of holes, which is why CFM is not a perfect comparator of accuracy on a different engine.

Vizard demonstrated that engines starved for air (low VE) produce more power with larger droplets, and engines with excellent VE do better with finer mist. The reason: a fully vaporized molecule of gas is 400 times the volume of liquid, and displaces air in the charge mass.
The degree of vaporization also affects how mixture behaves in a manifold (fine mist has lower inertia), and at different vacuum and temperature levels.

The "Slant 6" intake runners are made in different length on purpose to broaden the torque range.
