Thread: "Steam" machine...

Tweet

is what these 2 $70 fog machines should be called. I picked these 1000w machines up at Halloween USA, and they shoot steam. THEY SUCK!! No returns to HUSA, and no refunds. I can't believe they get away with this. My $20 Wal-Mart machines work much better than these. It's a joke! I've noticed the tubing on these are thinner than other machines. So I tried replacing it with standard sized tubing and still the same effect. If this is how these perform, they are f'n WORTHLESS!!

Anywayz, my question is; can I fix it? Or just trash em? Anyone have any ideas? Thanx!

Maybe better fog juice?

I think you are right. I tried another brand of juice (I have about 3 brands on hand), and it seems to be working a LOT better. BUT still not up to par with the others. I know I've used this juice in my other machines, and they have never performed this poorly. But using a different juice, does seem to have solved MOST of the problem.

Does anyone have recommendations of the better kinds to buy? Or should I make my own as per the instructions I've seen here?

I added glycerin to my fog juice I had on hand and it made it thicker.

Is adding glycerin safe to do? What effect does it produce?

Most commercial and non-commercial fog juice is made from 2 simple ingredients. Glycerin and (preferably) distilled water. Google it for a recipe......
