Calcium reactor bubble counter fluid

Does anyone use something other than water to fill a bubble counter? Water seems to evaporate pretty quick and kind of a PIA to refill.
I think I remember somebody using glycerin maybe?

I use glycerine in my co2 bubble counter. WAAAAAAAAY easier to count bubbles too.
