Thread: Universal fog timer for "off brand" fogger? Suggestions needed.

Tweet

I got a "manual" fogger years ago from Target and while it works fine, I'd like to have it run on a timer so I don't have to walk over to it every time I want fog. It's not a recognizable brand but it does have a "plug" for a timer (I'm pretty sure that's what it is.)

I bought a timer from Target a few years later but it didn't work with that machine. I was wondering if anyone could recommend a timer that was "universal" that might work.

I've since purchased a Chauvet fogger with remote, etc.

Thanks for any help/advice!

i have 3 or 4 of those generic timers you get at target, walmart, spirit halloween, as a matter of fact, thats the places I got all of mine......I also have the generic foggers from those same places and I have been able to use the timers with those foggers with out issue, are you sure your timer works at all?

can you post a picture of the jacks on your fogger?

unfortunately no, they are packed away in a public storage but they look exactly like computer power cord plugs, like this pic

Yep, mine look like that too.

Looks like a Gemmy Fog Machine. If so, you will need the Gemmy Fog Machine timer. Here is a link: http://www.dizguise.com/p-29336-fog-...r-control.aspx

I have seen them at Walmart with the Halloween items as well.

My fogger from spencers uses the same plug for the timer. (so spirit timers should work as well)

I am like scott n all my timers have worked with all the store brands.

I don't know I had one of those same 3-prong connector type ones from Target a few years back, and just last year a new mini fogger from wally world. It 'works okay' but the duration and timer seem to be off slightly in the communication. I just keeps fireing full-on until it runs out, but at least I don't have to trigger it manually.

that sounds like a bad timer to me....
