Like I said this is for corns and I don't know if Kings are different

This is not a very good way to incubate reptile eggs. It is never a good idea to mist eggs. Reptile eggs do not do well in wet conditions.
To the OP,
When you set up your eggs using the burried or half burried method, the eggs should be put into perlite with a 1 to .8 in a container with an air tight lid. Add 2 to 4 small holes in the lid to keep the pressure the same between the incubation container and outside environment. With kings and corns, I do not even bother putting them in the incubator. The snake room is between 79 and 82 degrees and I use my SIM containers and all eggs that are fertile hatch out. The eggs should not be denting at all during incubation until they are about to hatch. There should never be a need to mist or add water at any point during incubation. If you need to, your set up is very wrong and your eggs will more than likely die during incubation.
