How can I test whether my cloud chamber is supersaturated or not?

At first, we thought the temperature was not low enough to supersaturate the air with isopropanol. We decided to test this by polluting the air in the chamber with charcoal. The charcoal-dustparticles would act as seeds for vapor to condense around just like ionised tracks were supposed to do. To our surprise, we found that charcoal did cause cloud formation and precipitation.
