Halloween Fog Machine And Fog Juice?
There are fog machines and fog juice available for Halloween. Does anyone know what stuff (ingredients) are in the fog juice? Can I mix the juice of fog by myself, how?
The most common ingredients, in addition to distilled water, are propylene glycol and / or triethylene glycol. There are many other ingredients used by professional manufacturers of fog, but the two above are the most commonly used by Chinese manufacturers of fog, and I'm assuming you have one of their machines. (Those are sold at Wal Mart, the scene of DJ supplies, etc.)
I do not know where you can buy small amounts of PG and TEG, but if you can find some I'd try 30% PG, 20% TEG, 50% water. It should work fairly well in a Chinese machine.
Warning - Professional fluids and machines are "coupled", ie the fluid and the machine have all been designed to be used as a "system". Because different glycols vaporize at different temperatures and overheating or underheating glycol was not sure.
And finally, a quick and dirty fluid mist is 80% water and 20% glycerin. You can buy small bottles of glycerine at a chemist. Note that the glycerin spray at a temperature lower than that used by your nebulizer, which means that eventually the heater in the nebulizer will clog.But if it's a $ 20 Wal Mart special you'll probably find that it is plugged in when you go out for use next year anyway :-) glycerin Overheated also some by-products that are not also nice to breathe, if this formula is recommended for external use only.
More sophisticated machines use a heater to convert a mixture of solvent and oil in the "smoke" or "fog". The formula of the oil varies depending on the type or weight of fog that you want.
You can find a number of machines smoke home brew on Halloween and "special effects" sites.
