Thread: issues with fog machine

Tweet

Man my 130.00 Fog machine sucks! The cheap 24.00 worked the best. Its the low lying one with a ice compartment and i used the fog juice from Spirit Halloween but it didn't really fill the ground much. Maybe I should have done it into a ice chest? Anyone else have the same issues?

Only issues I had was the slight breeze and being in a cold climate I couldnt keep the fog low to the ground or to creep out of the holes I have in the bottom of my MIB

I had issues with mine to. I filled it up, turned it on but it never made fog =(
Ah well the neighbour's was making enough for everyone lol

Just that the wind was blowing the wrong way, so even though the machines were working, it wasn't really doing anything that people could see.

Built a vortex style fog chiller and it worked fantastic, the fog really creeped close to the ground

You couldn't see anything with mine,the wind was blowing

My cemetery fog machine was perfection! Low lying... so much of it... I was very proud!

The two cheapo's in my haunted house were duds. They kept having issues all night... I gave up on them after a while.

I have never had a year were all three work. The one that was perfect this year...I couldn't get to work last? Oh well.

I only used my two superfoggers since I was way behind....good thing the wind was blowing because there was zero visibility when those babies cranked up....

I'm thinking of having a Halloween in July party and I betcha I can get some low lying fog then

I'm glad other people had fog machine issues, I thought it was just me. I have 6 machines, and when I pulled them out ONLY 2 worked! And one of them, was brand new. What's most upsetting is that two of them that didn't work, I used just used in JULY. I pumped the "fog machine cleaner" through them before I put them away.

Forgive me because I'm sure this is such an over asked question, but does anyone know a good way to CLEAN a smoke machine? I've heard both opinions, that you should, or shouldn't. Of course now, I'm going to try, since they don't work, and I won't be out anything. What is the consensus about storing them? With fluid? without?

I'm in love with my Lite F/X Constant Fog machine. It is one of my greatest posessions. The only thing I would like to do to improve it is attach a larger container for juice. (I had to refill it twice last night in the four hours it was running.)
