Thread: Anyone use an ultrasonic mist maker in their cauldron of punch?

Tweet

Instead of using dry ice in my cauldron this year, I'm thinking of getting an ultrasonic mist maker. There are so many types available - which one is the best one to get, and do they really run around $35 (found one with a remote, 12 LEDs where you could control the light color and lighting mode)? Any tips for using one in the cauldron? I usually put in a large bowl inside to hold the punch.

sounds cool! great idea! I'd use a plastic ladel though. also the mister kinda leaves a little bit of condasation might get stickey with punch, i'll try and let you know.

I think I'm going to try to put the mister in between the bowl (it's really the plastic top of a cake holder) and the inside of the large cauldron.

We have two of those things and have never been able to use them in a way we'd like. They didn't work with the punch but did work with water. We had to set them up high in the cauldron for the mist to work (just slightly below the water surface). If you get one and find a way to get a cool effect, I hope you share how you did it.

You need to buy one that comes with a float for the mister. This way the mister is always at the top of the water level for the best results.

Thanks, everyone, for the tips!

Doesn't the mister have to be submerged in water to work?

No, it will work best right at the surface.

Interesting idea about using the mister with a float.
Just be sure to get a mister with a splash guard or otherwise it will a big mess outside the cauldron.

My misters didn't come with a float. Where can I get one? And if you let it float, won't that thing dry out that's not suppose to dry out? Sorry can't think of the name of it but its a small round thing that fits into the mister and the instructions said to keep it wet at all time.

My mister is a large one made for a pond. It had a option for the floater. It looks like a large donut and allows the mister to stay at the top and still have a liitle water on it.
