Any water which runs through your credo is removing PG as it runs out! Careful re-charging will avoid this. • I just made a credo and my humidity’s too high!

PG regulates through a tenso-active (surface tension) process. The PG and water do not create a solution, it’s actually a mixture (with seperate components). The
