Sep 17, 2008 - the fogs not realistic, its formalistic... in real life fog doesnt look like that, but its cool none the less

It traps the fog, cools it, and makes it more dense. So it will stick to the ground, and skim under light wind.

Sep 27, 2008 - if you want to direct your fog and have some freedome with this thing, just do exacley the same thing but instead of a log tube use a sewage hose from an rv store or any kind of bendable hose fore an easer shot.

Oct 20, 2008 - 1. thats a CHEAP fog machine its more "smokie" I bought one for about lets say 70 bucks very low noise great fog and its small :)

Oct 20, 2008 - The fog density has little to do with the machine it self, It has to do with the ratio of Glynal/water. Wile the heating element the hotter it gets handles the ratios diffrently ultimately the liquid effects the fog. As for the sound of the machine, that machine was fairly quite. the hissing sound is standard for all fog machines includeing 600 buck industrial machines, and fixed with a nossle silencer. However the noise complaints you hear about cheap machines is from the pump not the hissing.

Oct 25, 2008 - that tape won't hold for long when the water starts melting. try using better tape or maybe drill holes in the bottom of the pipe to allow the water to get out withour hitting the tape. but nice design

Oct 26, 2008 - A honyecomb pattern on the end will make a steadier stream, it will iron out the turbulence cause by the smoke.

Nov 6, 2008 - you have to be carefull with how much ice, over do it and the fog wont get out of the machine properly, posibly and break it

FlareStoneVII Says:

Nov 11, 2008 - That is brilliant dude. We're definately using this next we make a movie. :D

rmessenger Says:

Nov 15, 2008 - This wouldn't be a problem. The PVC pipe doesn't make a tight seal. There is plenty of room for excess pressure to vent out the sides.

DonHoraldo Says:

Nov 17, 2008 - I prefer dry ice and water. a lot cheaper and much denser fog.
