I have a cheaper compressor from Amazon and I know moisture in pcps is bad. While filling my Artimis M11 today I noticed a few drops from the compressor side of the hose, none from the gun side where the filter is. Am I still safe or do I need to look into adding another filter somewhere

Sam,
Lots of styles and brands of Amazon "cheaper" compressors out there, most only provide a cotton-filled filter, not addressing moisture naturally occurring from compressing air, in any other way. Better than nothing, but not by much. Recommend searching, "Yong Heng," in archives, additional filter discussions are there. Best of Luck, WM

Compressor filters, do they really work?
Every filter has some kind of cotton, foams, cahrcoal or a desiccant and these tubes supposed to filter water and oil.. when a compressor pushes air of 250 bar pressure through this tube, how a desiccant decides to hold the water under that pressure but let the air through?

If you're wondering about the risks of moisture entering into PCPs, take a look at this video with photos of internal moisture damage in PCPs.
