    Best warmer or cooler ambient temperature for haze/fog?

    Last gig I did we ended up having a lot of condensation on some of the AC vents that would drip onto the crowd and almost the gear. Room was small with plenty of warm bodies dancing, and the temp was set to about 70/72. We’re probably going to use this venue again, so next time the owner asks me...

    FILTERING GLYCOL FOG FROM THE AIR

    Has anyone out there played around with filtering fog from the air? The idea would be to localize the impact of the glycol on scenery around it in a permanent install setting. An air intake not far from the effect would give a clear past of travel for the fog instead of letting it settling on...

    Fog Depth

    Would anyone have suggestions as to a good way to create a "moat" of fog utilizing the motorized orchestra pit (no actors or musicians would occupy the space)? The pit preset would begin 10' below deck in order to hide, then reveal, scenery through a blanket of fog. I'm struggling with ways to...

    Hey! I've been researching a number of foggers for our theatre and I've come across some really helpful threads here. I have now narrowed down our search to HE's FQ-100 or Froggys Fog Titan 1800pro for our budget. I am having trouble finding proper tech reviews on either. I know the FQs have a...

    Glaciator X Stream Making Floor Slippery

    I am using two Glaciator X Streams and they have recently started causing the floor in front of them to become very slippery. More than the normal amount. What do you thinks is the cause could it be the machine or perhaps the temp of the room? Any insight or ways to fix the problem or at least...

I checked the fuses and they are intact. I know this machine was discontinued, but if anyone out there has any info...

    DMX Termination Fail

    My theater recently purchased a used Rosco Model 1750 Fog Machine for immediate use. I briefly tested it upon arrival, to make sure that it was responding to DMX. I then put it in its perch for the production, making sure to put a DMX terminator in (as the manual demands).During the preshow...

    Onstage Grill "Flare-up"

    In our upcoming production of Tar Beach by Tammy Ryan, there is a moment in which a grill is supposed to flare up on stage (described as "a huge plume of fire"). Does anyone have any thoughts on the best way to do this w/o any pyro? I think that trying to mount a hazer or fogger in the grill...

    Haze through holes in stage deck

    Is it possible to send haze down a pipe which is released through many holes in the stage deck? Many smoke machines have ducting attachments for this sort of thing but I haven't found any such thing for hazers. Any reason for this?

    ADJ Basic Fog Machine Controlled Edison to Stage Pin

    Instead of renting a DMX fogger, would it be possible to tape down the on switch and using a Edison to Stage Pin adapter, turn the machine on and off. Or would this ruin the machine?
