Haze Fluid Needed, URGENT!

[bishopthomas]

I just bought a Chauvet Arena Hazer 2 an am planning on using it on a gig tomorrow, but the haze fluid was backordered. No one around me has it in stock, so if there's anyone in the NJ/PA area who can sell me a gallon (or whatever you have remaining) of water based haze fluid it would be amazing. I can also make a trip to NYC, but would rather not if I don't have to, as time is of the essence. Also, if you know of any suppliers in the area I am open to any possibilities. Of course the local Guitar Centers "can order it" but I need to pick some up ASAP. Thanks!

I can get it to you tomorrow - Wednesday.

Thanks, Bill, but I have some en route via UPS, arriving tomorrow (a day too late).

Sounds like you're close to Philly. I recommend getting in contact with these two companies:

Philadelphia Theatrical Supply, Starlite Productions. I'd be surprised if these guys don't have it, so give them a call and check.

Philly theatrical supply is located in center city:
229 North 12th Street
Philadelphia, PA 19107
(215) 627-1225

Starlite Productions is in Cherry Hill (NJ) and if I recall does have a sales division, never used it though:

Thanks, Charc, I forgot about Starlite. I ended up finding some from Zeo Brothers in Hatboro, PA. I've done some freelance audio work for them in the past and always forget that they do a bit of lighting as well. Dan Zeo is a great guy and will help you out of a jam as he did me.

On another note, and maybe deserving a thread of its own [EDIT by Mod: See Can I use fog fluid in a haze machine? among others], the haze fluid (water based, as required) I got was made by American DJ rather than Chauvet. I ended up using it, but it didn't go too well. The hazer spit out a lot of fluid along with the haze, and the haze was really thick. I diluted it and that seemed to help, but I'm wondering what the problem was. Maybe it is thicker than the Chauvet version and/or the ADJ fluid needs a higher temperature that the Arena Hazer doesn't produce. These are just guesses, though, as I really don't have any experience with hazers. The Chauvet fluid arrives today so I'll try the hazer with the recommended haze and let you know how that goes.
