Thread: 700w vs. 1000w fog machines

Tweet

Okay i do not have enough time to order Froggy fog juice. Lets get that out of the way. I picked up a 700w machine from Spencers. It doesnt seem to put out a lot of fog. I was going to take it back and get the 1000w from Spirit. Maybe even the low lying since that is why I want a fogger any way. My question is what will I get from the higher wattage fogger? More fog? I know it takes less time in between bursts of fog. But would I be wasting my time taking back this one and getting the more expensive one from Spirit. I spent $40 with timer included for The one from Spencer. The 1000w is $70 minus the 20% off plus the timer which I hope the $10 one from target will work.

Another thought is will it seem better once I chill the fog. Or will it just seem light low lying thin fog? Sorry for bugging evey one about foggers again.

I'm curious as to what the difference is between regular and thick fog fluid. Alternate chemical composition or just different viscosity. If it's just viscosity I wonder if you could boil down fog fluid to make it thicker.

Not sure if you are too late to order direct from Froggy's they send FedEx, but that aside.
The 1000w may not recycle faster, but it should produce more fog before it needs to recycle. This could be offset one way or another by the mfg, size of system internals (pump etc), and if it actually produces the advertised wattage or not (Cheaper to advertise a bigger number than build it.). Buy a good machine and take care of it properly.

Also all fog juices (even taking froggy's out of the equation) are not created equal, so when comparing machine output use the same juice. Buy a good fluid, it makes a big difference.

I bought swamp juice this yr, testing against cheap fluid in my 700w machine showed I had 2X capability in a closed area. It made thicker fog and that lasted more than 2x as long. Better fluid was cheaper than buying a 1400w machine by a bunch.
Can't wait to see what Froggy's and my new 1700W machine will do in the graveyard. Muhahaha...

I run a 400 watt fogger with a fog chiller. A fog chiller is what you need. Plain fogger’s just don’t lay down the fog that well and it disperses really quickly (not to mention its more acrid smoke).


Eventually everyone takes a turn in the box.
