I have been thinking about trying coco husk when my huge bag of aspen is gone. I use the same monthly substrate change along with spot cleaning. I'm just concerned that the cocohusk would keep the humidity too high for my kings.

It won't be issue if there is ventilation. I've been using it with both my kings and they've had no problems. And depending on what kind of king you have, high humidity is not bad. Especially for kings from high humidity areas like Florida or the southern states.
