OK, I'm in the market for a new hazer for use with dance concerts. This means a lot of haze in a short time that dissipates quickly, I may need haze for a piece that is 6-12 minutes long and want it gone for the next piece. I presently have an old Radiance. It produces a good amount of haze in a short time and will dissipate in a reasonable amount of time but it is difficult to get it on cue. I presently warm the unit up at hour and after it produces some haze (say 18-20 minutes) I turn it . Then I have to turn it back on about 6-7 minutes before i need it, having a tech standing by it to shut it down if it starts early. The newer advertised units say 1-6 minute warm up. Do any of you have experience with the newer DMX units ? Can you warm them up at half hour so that you can give the unit pump and fan a GO and get haze instantly? Some of the units say they have an automatic cleaner which must be allowed to run. Does this produce another large burst of haze after the unit is turned off? Clearly that could bee bad news- hazing when it isn't wanted. I am looking most at 3 units, Ultratec´s Radiance Haze Machine, the UNIQUE 2.1 by Look solutions and the AquaMax MP. The unit must be water based, safe for dancers to breathe. Do any of you have experience with these units? Thanks, Mark
