Thread: Cheap Fogger Mod. Part 1

Tweet

this isn't really an earth shattering tutorial

well it's easy to make your cheap fogger fog longer

unfortunately this is at a reduced volume of fog produced, which is what i was looking for anyways

just pinch off the vinyl tube coming out of the reservoir. this reduces the amount of fluid that the pump sucks and obviously the amount of fluid getting onto the heating element

what i used was a bolt with a couple of washers. just tighten the bolt and squish the hose between the washers.

my fogger ran for about 90 seconds, but pinching the hose it ran for about 120 seconds. not a big increase but its something. you can experiment with how much you restrict by varying the tightness of the washers

as an added bonus, it looks like the cheap fog juice that i was using, got thicker with the reduced flow, which is kind of a nice added bonus.

enjoy, and ymmv, and don't blame me if your pump overheats from working too hard(?) or from the reduced cooling provided by the reduced fluid flow

amk

Just the fact that you said "Don't blame me if..." has me immediately taking this one off the list of hacks. LOL
