First video about fog and haze machines that actually explained more about them instead of just promoting a fog or haze machine. Tyvm for the information it has helped me make my decision.
As an atmospherics tech, I tend to get really defensive when I come across a video like this, as they usually have heaps of misinformation. While I could argue on the small points, you've covered basically everything to a great amount of detail. Well done!
Great to hear, thanks!
@@GetintheMix Hello. I need your help. I want to make a show similar to Its Tough To Be A Bug At disney's Animal Kingdom. Disney has fog machines that shoot out dense clouds, but evaporate in around a minute. I cannot seem to find any fluid out there or any fog machines that do this. Please reply.
@@tay-taayandronnie5199 There is Chauvet's Quick Dissipating Fog Fluid available which clears itself in a matter of some seconds, that should give you the desired effect and we have this available here

This guy's presentation makes me happy!
When testing at the venue, I highly suggest notifying the local Fire Department prior to the test. If the test does trigger the alarm, they are aware that the testing is taking place. For one of my tests, they actually sent a crew to stand by during the testing, which prevented an 'emergency' response.
Thanks for the info....esp. on the pros n cons...well done!!
extremely helpful and enlightening and for that, THANK YOU!!!
Hmmm, cool explanations bro! Thanks!
Great video, very well explained for someone doing random searches like me
Awesome job and great info! thank you.
Our pleasure!
I'm in the process of setting up a basic production rig for a local sports team. We have a smoke machine that's used for player entry at a specific place, but it only really serves that purpose well. This is a small hockey rink with 1000 capacity. I'm thinking that using haze to build up some mist might work better for the beams and moving lights?
A factor to consider is of course that on-ice vision cannot be impaired.
Bro I had no idea. This helps so much with my DJ business, thanks!
At the beginning of the video I had to check if it was on 2x speed
Thanks for this! I know this is super late, but what about CO2 hazers? How do they work and are they less likely to trigger a smoke alarm?
Great Video! what`s the difference between a "classical" fog machine and a ultrasonic mist maker?
Thanks so much for the info . Is there any machine that does both haze and fog ?
Quick and well explained with a nice Presentation, spot on Info! Thumbs up for that!
You may work on your Sound Recording tho, as it doesn't seem to keep up with the Pro Level you're showing here ;)
Could you cover adding scents to your fog or haze?
Mobile DJ here, super helpful video, thank you very much!
This was helpful. Would it be safe to say that a haze machine is comparable to using low-density fog juice in a fog machine? I have a fog machine and have used low-density fog juice and high-density fog juice but I have never used a haze machine.
is there any real difference between haze and fog fluid besides the percentage of triethylene glycol? I can't seem to find this information on the Internet. If not couldn't I just buy fog fluid for my hazer and water it down a bit with distilled water?
Thank you very much about explanation of everything, but I have one question. Oil based fluids, what type of oil or what oil they use? Okay for water based fluid is usually glycols, glycerols mixed with distilled water, but what oil they use? Of course I am asking this because of the chemistry side.
I've been on film sets with haze machines, and the next day I usually have a sore throat. are there any haze machines that wont cause this?
Good guy
smoke machines are generally a no no in nearly all venues in the UK because of fire alarms which haze machine is best what setting is best and do they not set them off too?
I dj an outdoor even Saturday I have the adj mister Kool 2 should I get the chauvet dx1 instead?
Can I Use Desinfectant or Virucide in a Haze Machine?
i want to get a haze effect with a fazer but i can't decide which fazer i need to buy for the best effect.... anyone suggestions?
Is there any haze liquid that can be used without heat and only when becoming in contact with air. Thanks.
How do you convert a normal smoke machine to a Hazer kind of effect ? Ive read somewhere that it can be done thru a hack but cant seem to find it now !
What is best to use indoor in a small apartment?
What cheap machine would be best if you needed to cover and hide your front door and lock? Inside an apartment building.
I'm not sure I will get to fix this as they are soon coming, but at least some knowledge on it for others to easily defend them self without hurting others with covering there door? Do we have a cheap solution with smoke stay long and hard to see through?
The fire training smoke with the oil based thing, sounded like it would be in the right direction.
what would you use for a indoor nightclub haze machine fog machine or a dry ice machine?
Does a 3kW smoke machine actually have a 3kW power consumption? I want to know if I can use it on a 1kW inverter
Is there such a machine that can be used for both fog and haze? Thank you.
All about the venue for me a lot of places don’t like heavy fog and the hazer get the job done good enough but I find it gives the lights a weaker look
Please make all your future videos in this format with this guy 👍👍👍
HELP ! HELP ! Hi there. I want to buy a powerful fog machine that will allow me to put deoderiser, disinfectant or sterilising liquid to fog, haze and clean my car and my garage. Can you advise me on which fog machine I should buy that will allow me to do this. Much appreciated.
Looking for some type of fog machine or fluid for a sport team intro prior to a game, but don’t want it to linger. Suggestions?
is there an odorless fog fluid?
what about differences in wattage?
I am looking for a heavy-duty fog machine for a film set, one that puts out a large volume of fog for our horror shorts, and that can be used sometimes with low lying fog. Don't need any lights any suggestions?
this is a bit late but look at getting a dry ice fog machine
Interesting video. My query relates to using a 1200w machine for finding EVAP and vacuum leaks in a car (my machine is described as a 1200W Smoke Fog Machine). These units have been successfully used for this purpose (UA-cam videos available) but there is little technical detail on the fluid used. I realise that this may not be your area of expertise, but I would value your opinion (and that of any knowledgeable / scientific viewers of this video). You mention water based fluid and oil based fluid - can each be used in any machine. Logically, I would imagine that oil based fluid may be more suited to producing a heavier smoke effect. Can anyone confirm, please?
Can you use a snow machine with fog juice?
Can U use vape juice in the to get the haze to smell nice
are there some that run off a co2 bottle?
Oil hazers are not preferred for outdoor venues at all. The thinner consistency makes it much easier to be blown away in the wind, leaving no effect at all.
Great Video... Thank you.
A question related to disfecting fog machines... Are they different? There are a few that look like the 400W fog machines... Could you clarify this for us? Can you make your own fog juice with disinfecting properties and use it to fog a room for Covid-19 disinfection purposes?
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it.
Unfortunately our expertise is limited to actual fog use in a special FX environment with these machines and can't speak of their effectivity to disinfect a room with custom juice! It sounds potentially a unsafe as this would output a breathable disinfectant. Might be one for a specialist forum!
When one mentions to disinfect with the fog machine, I am assuming not using typical cleaning solutions, but oils i.e. essential oils. I've researched this, essential oils can be used. Be sure to clean the machine after use.
Is there haze fluid I can use in a fog machine. This is for small, interior sets for an indie film.
Some fog machines also can be used with haze fluid, but it's best to check in the manual. It's worth noting that haze machines operate differently to fog machines, so putting haze fluid in a fog machine will yield different results and effects to using an actual haze machine.
What about Faze machines (aka Fazers)?
thanks for dis maTE
Is it safe to breathe haze?
I have a question, Im going to use a laser machine for my musical Water fountains, in the scenario that I have to buy a haze machine could it mess with the Water? (Chemically)
you should look into mist makers
I wanted to know about the respiratory dangers…as I’ve heard the can be dangerous for asthmatics and people with other respiratory disease and conditions….🤔
How much money do I need To get a good enough fog machine?
“If so what is it?” Liked that, annoys me when people just say ARE THEY THE SAME???
u can tell this guy is a good dancer
His secrets have been revealed
aside from water/steam,,,, is there any non chemical way
i currently own an Antari Z350. i am considering replace it with Chauvet haze 2d as i prefer haze over fog, what are your thought
What do u suggest
Can you use Fog Juice in a Haze Machine?
We can only recommend that you put haze fluid in a haze machine. Using the wrong liquid runs a risk of damaging your equipment!
how to make oil based liquid? what chemicals in it? i do want to make it at home. at least wanna try lol
Haze machines are running anywhere from 3-4 times the cost of a fog machine. Does anyone know why? Can I use haze liquid in a fog machine? Or is possible to simulate haze from a fog machine by just letting it run for a few seconds? I need haze for lighting a video.
nobody answers this question.....even google doesnt know......hmmm and people say you find answers to anything on google.....ive found that half the times google doesnt have an exact result for some niche but simple questions.
Is oil-based fluid toxic?
So haze is better than fog for lights and lasers?
It's tough to generalise one being better than the other, but haze will give a more consistent beam effect and make your lights look great with less maintenance and without blasting a big cloud into the room! If this is what you're after rather than a denser fog effect, haze is the way to go :)
@@GetintheMix what if I have a gig outdoor will the mister Kool 2 adj low fog be ideal for a gigbar move?
You forgot to cover scents. I currently have Froggy cotton candy scent in my haze machines.
Jesus, thought this was a movie production video 😆🤣
What would happen if I put water in a smoke machine?
I am a twitch streamer that wants to do dancing under laser light show in my room with all my equipment like pcs, multiple mics, laptop . Will the haze machine damage my equpiment or will I be able to do this?
Well honestly i want something even more intense i want something so dense!! A lazer cant even get through it
Not how it works. A hazer is always going to show laser beams better than thick fog.
@@toddsteinhoff2516 oh well then how do you mean? Cuz i Neeed! something that creates a literal 0% visibility in a completely sealed off room for something i think would be cool to do
@@williamdabill i miss read that. I was getting at a haze is better for lasers.
Idk what you'd want a complete whiteout for but a high watt fog machine with high density fog juice is going to be your best bet.
@@toddsteinhoff2516 AAAAAHHHHHH SNAP! THANKS FOR THE SUGGESTION! MR. Shinoda next step AMAZON WISH LIST... oh and my reasoning for the seasoning is to establish the most ultimate game of drunk Marco-Polo... and possibly ping pong.
What the... 0:44
and the risks, with the oil are......
always haze never fog
Why do you have purple/blue hair? Is it genetic or are you from another planet?
Looks brown to us! Though he is indeed, coincidentally, from another planet.
Ur wrong about haze
