Get a pitcher of water and pour some into the reptichip in different places in the terrarium. Then mix it up with your hands. I do this every week or two and my bedding holds good humidity. I use prococo, which is very similar to reptichip. Pouring some water and stirring up is much more effective with misting, as the water will sit below the bedding or inside and release humidity longer than just misting the top layer, which dries quickly.
I also have issues with getting the reptichip too wet when I expand it. The last time, I had to sit it in a tub to dry for a few days before using it.. In the past, I've had so much moisture that I've left the sliding glass doors on my AP cages slightly ajar to let it escape.
