Thread: Bubble fogger not fogging..

Tweet

Bought a bubble fogger last year. Just pulled it out the box. It ran great for like 10min. then just stopped fogging. The tank is full. Any ideas on what's going on?

I had the same exact problem with mine... worked well last year, took it out this year and nothing.... I had to buy a new one... I'm hoping this isn't an every year occurance... I got mine at Target this year for 50 bux and it came with bubble and fog solution... I bought my original at WalMart for 40...

they are poorly designed for the most part. Mine works, but it's not very efficient at all.

Try cleaning it really well... vinegar and water... run it through the fog machine part.. yada yada...

I wouldn't hold out much hope for them tho (personal experience and all)

Thanks. When I get some more time, I will take it apart to see what's up. Such a let down.

This will be our third year for ours and so far so good although I fired it up the other day and it wasn't fogging but after running some water/vinegar through it it seems to be working fine. I loaned it to someone a few months ago and my guess is that they didn't clean it....

I was reading this post with interest as we just picked up one this year from Target. Passed on the one I saw at the first Target (box was showed leaking), only one they had left; and found a MIB one at a second Target. Also only one they had left. Not sure I'll need it for this year but it seems like they are getting a bit harder to find and getting more expensive. At least I had $10 in gift cards so it didn't seem that bad (I know it's still cash more or less!).

How much vinegar-to-water do you use when you clean the machine out? I imagine the fluid probably leaves crystals in the line and cruds up the machine like a vaporizer or humidifer does.

BTW Do any of the bubble/foggers come with a remote timer? Wondering if the more expensive models have something extra.

One more question for everyone. The Target product has small bottles of fogger juice and of bubble fluid. I only run my haunt on Halloween night and was wondering if what Target sells in their packaging will be enough for one night. For those that have already used a bubble/fogger, what do you think or what's been your experience?

You should have a gallon of fog juice on hand really. You may never need it all for one season, but it's a must if you're including fog of any kind. I would think two quarts of bubble juice would suffice, but you could get by with one I think, for just the night of.

For some odd reason I bought one yesterday. I had absolutely no interest in the thing until I saw it working well in the store and when the bubbles popped, it felt literally dry. I was impressed. They had it on the large bubbles setting. 25% off, I caved and got one. It didn't work well at home- the bubbles were hit and miss even forming, there WAS residue indoors from the bubble formula, and I couldn't see this being even remotely effective outside with only small amounts of bubbles at a time, even on the small bubbles setting. Took it back, got something else. Good luck with this one. Much too much money, imo.

Yeah when they work they are great......i have 4 BF's left.......gave my last year model away......it worked pretty good but stop after a while.......oh well got mine real cheap.

Mine works great.I have even run it dry and it still does good.
Btw it uses alot of fog juice I guess because of the small tank it has to be refilled often.
I have to refill both each night and like I said before it has been bone dry.
I am use to my larger foggers that hol alot of fluid and fill them twice a season.

I wouldn't use it indoors as it is still using bubble solution which is slippery !

I always have to refill mine at least once ( I start it early for the little tots) which is a pain because I put mine on my roof so the bubbles are falling into my driveway.

When this one burns up I will get another as the tots of ALL ages really get a kick out of it !
