Can you double up the ice? Put a block of ice in the bottom of the cooler then still put dry ice on a grate to build a ceiling as well??? So you have a regular block of ice + a ceiling of dry ice???
It's an awesome tool when you want cool fog. When I built mine a few years ago, I used an ABS toilet flange on each end rather than a dryer vent because it was heavier duty.
The Slanted Lens I am passionate about photography and the energy on how you present your tips, ideas, advice, and overall energy is refreshing cause it makes me and I'm sure others keep watching and learn. Keep it up.
You should use a kitty litter box that's what we do it works awesome. Plus ice cubes allow it stay on the ground longer because it has to run through it more.
I just made one of these (like 15 min ago, still freezing water so havent tried it fully yet), but Im just curious. How many liters are that cooler you have?
Why don't u patent a chill box then we could buy them from you, also several years ago at my wedding reception an ionizer of some sort was used in my display it was just dropped in water and instant fog like BAM! I don't know what that was and haven't been able to find one, do you know what I'm talking about?
"They're pretty hard to find" 5000 youtube fog chiller vids later lol ; ) It helps the effect if you leave a 1 inch gap between the fog machine and the inlet. that's what the vortex fusion product instructions say that most of these DIY chillers are based on. yours is more like the original DIY 'fog on the rocks' which predated it fwiw. for my $40 worth + DIY time for a $120 vortex fusion knockoff if the fog doesn't lay low I do like the lingering atmosphere sometimes better. it should be noted use a low wattage fog machine so it doesn't shoot it thru too fast not giving it a chance to chill. happy fogging ^v^
Please be careful with dry ice folks, especially if your model is low to the ground. The CO that's dissipated by the dry ice can push away the oxygen and cause suffocation. P.S.: You could also just fill up the cooling box with warm water and throw dry ice in, you'd only need an exhaust hole.

Love the fact that you implement DIY projects with your photography. As always great videos.
Thanks, Felix! Thanks for being such an awesome follower! I always see your comments on these videos!

Awesome, awesome! my head is going crazy with ideas. thanks
Let me know what you end up doing! Post your work to my Facebook group! facebook.com/groups/1566733200314468/
Gaff tack, i love it.
Yeah, it is great to work with!
OH MY GOD that's awesome. I would recommend using a disposable styrofoam cooler - easier to cut.
Glad you enjoyed it, Richard! I've never tried styrofoam- let me know how it works!
Dang. Now I have to do it. CHALLENGE ACCEP

@@richarddufault Did you end up doing it with a styrofoam cooler?
Amazingly useful .
This is super helpful.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for your comment!
Will this work with any water-based fog machine and juice or is something special about the Rosco brand?
Nice!! I always wondered how to do that. Thanks a bunch. Will give it a try...
Thanks for this great tip!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
Nice & cool tip. Thanks :)
Thanks for watching!
Sweet!!!! Thanks a bunch!
Any time! Hope you learned some good tips!
Wouldn't filling a few two L bottles with water and freezing them be... less messy? or even a 4L jug of water.
That's a great idea, Rob! Let me know how it goes! I just might try that myself!
Love that shirt :)
What a legend!
It is a pretty cool effect!

Fun Fact: Fog machines will set off smoke alarms.
I'm guessing that fact comes with a funny story, Everett!
Yes, indeed. Been there, done that.
just learned that today
Copy that!! If you’re EVER doing smoke in a venue ensure the fire alarm has been isolated. Could be expensive otherwise...
once i set off my smoke alarm, cause the steam from my shower lol.
anyone recommend a good ratio of VG to water for thick fog? is 30% good?
Very Thick Smoke:
30% Glycerin | 70% Water
Thick Smoke:
20% Glycerin | 80% Water
Less Thick Smoke:
15% Glycerin | 85% Water
@@TheSlantedLens cool thanks, I did the 30% - set off the smoke alarms! So gonna try the ice method.
Cool
nice info , you save my money
Good to hear. Have fun experimenting with fog!

Great idea! Maybe I need to get on that and start selling it in The Slanted Lens store!
Can I use a styrofoam box so k don’t ruin my cooler?
I think this is the tutorial with the most common sense that I have seen to make low fog.
Good to hear. Enjoy your shoots!
How did you connect the hot end to the cooler at the inlet?
Oh I saw actually just two dryer vents on each side.
Glad you figured it out. Thanks for watching!
Lol nice tip I like the mishap
Glad you appreciated the humor!
I am upset i am not seeing your face as i want to see your face but this video was so educational i am okay with not seeing your face this episode lol
Glad you found it worthwhile!
Awesommmmmmnessesesss
Hope you can use what you learned for your spooky shoots!

That is correct. I was doing this with a block of ice and it worked. No problem there. Thanks
What a great idea duh thanks so much! Saved me hundreds
or just get a vape for wayyy cheaper
Too much work.😂
