Post Halloween Sales - Fog Machines

[FreakyStylie]

Since a fog machine is a giant vaporizer that uses the same juice, I'm thinking about getting a couple to tinker with after Halloween since they will be on sale.

Anybody who has messed with these have any advise like size, or type of heat exchanger, etc?

LOL! Actually, I'm looking to build a force-feed hookah that will blow the vapor into your mouth instead of having to draw on it. Button on the mouthpiece will activate the atty and fan so that it only vapes when called for. I could see an entire room full of nic vapor - oh the horror!

Not sure how much flavor you will get and it will be expensive to feed it. The heating element burns pretty hot and the juice tanks hold about 1/4 liter. Most come with a controller that will produce fog on demand (i.e. push the button). Funny I saw this post since I just came in from setting up for the Trick or Treaters. I have 5 fog machines 3- 400w, 1- 700w and 1- 1000w. These things will eat over a gallon of juice tonight.

Of course the machine is going to be modded down, and only as a prototype. I don't want to reinvent the wheel, I just want to tinker with a device that has a proven track record, then replace parts in the 2nd prototype. A small fan with a mini turbo is what I already have drawn. As far as how much juice it will burn . . . vg is really cheap, and water is even cheaper. The nic level can be really low because this will be designed more for a party device for multiple users and when people are drinking, they tend to smoke too much anyway, don't want people vaping too much nic.

Go for it then it is a cheap experiment and should be fun. I have modded the 700w machine since the pump is a "one speed" and was kicking out too much juice and overwelming the element. I just put a standard rotatry dimmer switch in the curcuit and I can limit the pump speed. Happy fogging. BTW Target usually has the 400w machines really cheap

Does that work well? That was what I was thinking about for metering the amount of vapor. Dial it down to 1 user, or up to 10, as it will take a different amount of vapor for different demands.

Like a charm. It does have a limit on how low it can go though. Dialed down about 2/3 of the switcg = no fog. Very simple to do and cheap. Most machines have metal housings and ample room to add a switch.
