Thread: Easiest most effective fog chiller?

Tweet

I did not use a fog chiller last year, but would like to use one this year. Does anyone have any ideas for a really easy but effective fog chiller? Something I can easily make myself and would not cost much?

Thanks!

Build Your Own "Vortex Fusion" Chiller

Cheap, easy, and very effective.

I've had great success with loading my shop-vac hose with ice. It keeps the fog low to the ground and it makes it easy to pump it through my largest jack-o-lantern. Just make sure the hose is slightly down hill so that the water has someplace to go (other than into your fogger.) Also, don't let the fogger nozzle actually the plastic hose as it could melt. You can control how much fog seeps out by putting an S-bend in the hose. Ive been toying with the idea of putting dry ice in the hose as well, but the regular ice works so well that I'm not gonna invest the extra $$.

I used a perforated 4" drain pipe filled with frozen water bottles for this test. Worked pretty good as-is, but I think I'll use it for fog distribution along with my ice chest/Vortex chiller.
