Hey, it really works! But, only if the heat and A/C are off. On a few occasions I've been able to get a chokingly thick cloud on the stage, which tapers off to a reasonable bit of haze over the crowd. When the band is done, we usually watch a few minutes of video announcements with the
house lights dimmed, during which I'll kick in the A/C fans to dissipate the haze. When the lights come back up, the air is almost entirely clear. Works like a charm!
Maintenance is a pitfall of the Neutron. When we first got the machine, we weren't aware that it needs to run a self-cleaning cycle when powered down. We were simply unplugging it when finished (no
DMX or remote controls), which bypassed that cleaning cycle. Also, I didn't have a manual for it, so I didn't know to manually clean it. We didn't realize the error until it was in it's death throes, and had to ship it to LeMaitre for refurbishing. That was costly. But now, we diligently run the self-clean, and when I get some abrazors I'll ream the thing out.

Is the Fazer actually a fogger posing as a hazer? I forgot to mention, we used to use an F100. The adjustable output is a boon, all the way from mild to wild. But the fog
juice irritated the singers' throats, and there is a noticeable odor. (From the F100, not the singers. Well, definitely from the F100 anyways.)

That might be just the ticket! I'll look into it.
