Ok, after investigating a little I learned the following:
We have a fazer
A fazer can produce fog or haze...thus the name f-azer
The 'fog juice' that came with the machine is actually 'haze juice'
That would help explain why the output was so minimal and why it wouldn't hang on the ground. So now I'm going to try to see if I can find real 'fog juice' here in holland and HOPE that its not outrageously priced.
