That's interesting.  I remember you saying that you used 10% water but I never thought about that might effect the electrical characteristics.

From what I have read on the subject distilled water is a very poor conductor of electricity, some sources even say distilled water won't conduct electricity. Supposedly its the minerals dissolved in water that conduct electricity.

Bingo! Pure water will not conduct electricity.  It is the salts, minerals, and impurities IN the water that conduct electricity through the water.
