The active ingredient can be glycerin, propylene glycol, triethylene glycol, or a mixture of all of these. It is important to use the right fog fluid with your fog machine since the vaporization temperature varies for each of these ingredients. Your fog machine instructions should suggest a recommended product.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The fog just comes out like a cloud and disappears. Is my fog machine broken?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>No, your fog machine is likely still working, you&#8217;ll just have to experiment with the various settings. Usually, the secret is the temperature of the fog. Since fog machines mix heat with chemicals to create fog, the end-product is invariably warm and rises into the air before evaporating. Try this: take a 3-foot strip of landscaping pipe and drill some holes in the middle of it, then seal it with duct tape on one end. Freeze water in plastic water bottles, stick them in the pipe, then attach the open end to your fog machine. Cool fog will spill from the drilled holes and stay close to the ground.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>JDR FMB-400 Fog Machine Whether you need it for a club, a theater, or the dance floor, the JDR FMB-400 delivers.
