This happens at our Apex shop but not the main shop. I know we use distilled for both shops, the main difference is the humidifier. I've noticed shops using humidifiers that do a thick mist(like in the apex shop) that you can actually see as opposed to shops(like our main shop) that use humidifiers that do an almost impossible to see mist, the stuff just gets on the sticks. I've never noticed any difference between the two shops as far as sticks smoking differently.
