When using a humidifier for a terrarium, if you use regular tap water, will the mist be the same tds or will it be lower? Thanks!

Yes. But more then that, it will ruin your humidifier faster.
I use RO water, and it works for years.
I have a very cheap humidifier I got at a pharmacy hooked up to me terrarium

Ha! Yes - the TDS will generally be the same, as humidifiers use a membrane that exites the water, and turning in to a fine mist.
The mist is the same as the water to put into the humidifier.
