Are you injecting it or putting it in the water pan?
Either way the ratio is up to you, but if it were me, if your injecting it I would use straight apple cider with some of your rub mixed in. If your putting it in the water pan I really don't think you will notice any taste difference in the meat between using water or apple cider, or a combo of both.

What Al said.
Only thing I would add is if you're spraying it on the meat every so often, while smoking, I would heat it up to 200˚ or so.
This will keep the meat from losing temp every time you spray it.

I like to marniate in apple juice, salt, and brown sugar for 3-5 days before and then I boil about 2 cups of the mixture for 10 minutes and use that to baste with and/or I use natural juices to baste with. I boil it just to kill any bacteria from the meat. No need to boil cider unless you wanted to do a reduction. At this point I would use apple juice but the sugar in it would make more clean up (sticky). I like to use brandy or apple beer too. Everyone does something a little different but it all works.
I don't spritz much any more. Remember that every time you lift the lid you add about 20 minutes to a long smoke depending on your smoker.
Having said that, taste your spritz. Don't spritz with anything you wouldn't taste out of the bottle. LOL
Good luck and good smoking.

I use three parts apple cider and 1 part Captain Morgan's Spiced Rum...It makes a nice spritz...I use a gas GOSMS smoker, so don't
worry about loosing too much temperature. Give it a try, the rum helps put on a good bark.
