Your humidity is fine. Don't worry about it. You really don't need to do anything about that.
How big were the insects in relation to the dragon? Sometimes when the bugs are too big, it gives them trouble and they throw them up. Are you sure it was vomit though and not just a poo that passed quickly?
Was ample time to bask given after the meal? EG. not feeding half an hour before lights out?
Could you post a picture of the dragon and of your setup perhaps?
It's possible that he/she just ate much more at once than it was used to, and the body had trouble with it.

I couldn’t get link to come up. I Found a pic of the sunblaster nano tech, is that something like your talking about. I pretty sure I can make one out of tinfoil. Money is not particularly a problem so if I have to buy another because it’s better than using tinfoil, no problem! I will get on that tomorrow. Anything I need to do or get, I will!
Poop has been a little wet last few times. Small bit of Solid dark poop slight wet, irate has been wet. Today was pretty wet but still had poop formation, urate very wet.
