Might work okay for dual cells, but VGS(th) is too high for a single cell.  Actually, it's kind of high even for series cells.  You can do a lot better than that one in terms of RDS(on) and VGS(th).

It's better to use a protected MOSFET in a touch switch.  The gate pin on a MOSFET is highly intolerant to any kind of static discharge and you're basically touching the gate pin every time you fire the atomizer.  The protected ones have a TVS diode built-in between the gate and source.  You can protect one externally by adding a Zener diode in the same manner.

If you specify whether you're using a single cell or series cells, I can recommend one for you.  If you're limited to the package type of the one you linked, it narrows the field a good amount.  The good ones are in an SO-8 package and the really good ones are in a leadless package.

Single cell mod aluminum tube.

Also been searching to see if I could use a dual gate mosfet for a dna20 board

And most importantly I am shopping "Fleabay"

Or if one or more of the ti nexfets will work i can get those as samples
