....Vacuum also "conducts" charged particles
when an electric field, E, is applied.
I disagree. Vacuum only conducts when electrons are present, but then
that is not a vacuum, that is an electron plasma. A perfect vacuum is a
perfect conductor. A hot filament changes the vacuum by adding an
electron plasma, which is itself a conductor.
