i have found that i use a 15 sec spray then a 15sec delay then a 1min spray the first spray seems to let them know whats going on and by the time the second one comes on they are ready to drink. i do this almost every 3hrs and have done it this way for months and all have good urate in their poop so it seems to work for me

Remember where they come from and how much rain they get each day. We need to emulate that as much as we can.
I mist four times a day for my melleri. An hour after lights up they get 20 minutes. a couple of hours later I mist for 5 minutes and then again for 5 minutes a couple hours later. About 1.5 hours before lights start to cycle off there is another 20 minute session.
Chameleons need a good drink and a good soak in order to clean their eyes. short little sprays don't help them very much. Remember where they come from and how much rain they get each day. We need to emulate that as much as we can.
I'm with Summoner on this one, I have a similar schedule.
20 mins in the morning, two 5 minute mistings later in the day, and a final 15 minute one a couple hours before lights out.
It might take mine 1-2 minutes to decide they do want water and go wash their eyes our or drink or whatnot. I rather give them a lot more time than less.
Except you don't seem to realize that the amount you mist daily is equal to about 1/2 the monthly amount they get in Madagascar monthly between April - October. It's also pretty close to the amount of rain that Veileds see naturally between June - November.
Now, I agree since you have a mellers you'll want to kick up the misting a bit more then the typical veiled/panther, but a 20 minute misting session is never necessary.
