Official Vortex Pro Fog Chillers

Aaaaaaa....OK. So they want $450 for a chiller, $899 for a fogger and $60 for a gal of juice and some magic chrystals .... or all for an $1100 bargain.

Anyone who can apply duct tape and cut a hole in a plasic trashcan can get the same results following my instructions and only be out $35 for the chiller. I do recommend a Chauvet 1000 or 1200 if you can swing another $100. I get my fog juice at Party City in early Oct on sale for $10 / gal.

You make the choice that suits you best. No skin off my nose.

I think they're crazy too!

Someone asked what a "vortex chiller" was so I posted the website. My chiller uses aluminum ducting in a cooler with dry ice as well. I have read that the corrugated tube causes too much condensation of the fog so I may try a smooth tubing style this year. I keep tweeking the chiller and most of the time it's too windy here on Halloween for fog anyway, but I'm always prepared.

Don,

I live on a main entrance to our neighborhood. Although we don't usually have wind on H'ween night, we have plenty of SUVs cruising past to park nearby and visit us. To help cut down on the cross breeze, we made a simple scene setter / plywood fence about 18" to 24" high along one side paralelling the haunt. The back is open and the front is an open fence. This was enough to let the fog stay around long enough for effect.

If you have bad wind, probably nothing will help outside, but this or a taller fense on three sides might help (?).
