When I used an open top tank I had a very simple method, I was using coco coir and placed tupperware sandwich container in the bottom of the cool side, filled the substrate into the tank banked 3 inches on the cool side and 1/8 on the warm. It formed a small hill, I then when the RH dropped I just pushed my finger to make a hole to the container buried under the substrate and filled it with water (80º water). This would be absorbed by the substrate (under the top layer) and evaporation would take over it is too much water to evaporate in a few hours so it lasted me in the winter (30%RH room) for 4-7 days.
Regarding your use of coco in your open top tank...did you buy the brick, and then get it wet to break it apart and spread in your tank? Also, you would just fill the hole from your finger with the warm water, versus trying to fill the entire container under the coco? Your 3 inches on the cool side was so that the sandwich container was just covered by coco, correct?
